Chiefs Have the Chiefs finally found a kicker?

**RealSNR** · 12-01-2008, 07:14 AM

Looks like Barth might finally be the guy they were looking for.

JOhn · 12-01-2008, 07:22 AM

I had something really insightfull to say, but I seem to be brain dead.

So uhhh maybe?

Red Beans · 12-01-2008, 07:26 AM

I say yes. Barth is a great name for a kicker. It makes me laugh everytime I hear it.

Direckshun · 12-01-2008, 07:28 AM

What have his distances been so far?

30, 39, 28, 20, 21, 45, 38, and 27 yards.

I'd like to see more 40+ yarders, and I'd like to see at least ONE kick in crunch time with a game on the line, but I'll say this: he's making the one's he's supposed to make, which is always a good sign.

I knnow what you mean. Every time I hear our QB's name it remind me of pigpen from Peanuts

So far he has looked good. Made his FG's and yesterday all his kicks went inside the 5 and closer to the 2 or 1.

Every time I hear Barth's name, I think of John Candy! Connor Barth is a Mog! He's half man, half dog. He's his own best friend!

phisherman · 12-01-2008, 08:12 AM

all his FGs are right down the middle. i like it.

I liked the reaction to Janikowskis 51 yarder yesterday. Everyone acted as if it was no big deal and automatic. hahaha

I don't understand why they didn't kick the other two fgs? Faked one, then went for the 1st on the other one. Was he hurt?

Oh, and I am loving Barth.

How has Barth's KO's been? I've not noticed. If his KO's are good, I think we've found our man.

Not consistently deep. Which is my knock on him. He can get it deep, but he's still floating a few short kickoffs now and then.

Gotta question if this is due to lack of coaching. ST Coach Prifer or whatever his name is, is one of the few people on this team more worthless than Herm.

Micjones · 12-01-2008, 10:53 AM

Barth's been invisible thus far.
And that's largely because he's quietly done his job.
Very good sign. He's made the kicks he was supposed to make.

I think we could be in good shape, at that position, going forward.

I don't understand your post. Are you indicating that Priefer is not "coaching" Barth to kick it into the endzone on kickoffs?

I didn't think that was something that needed "coached". That should be expected of the kicker regardless of coaching.
