Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff

Aside from the misses, Steve Little was actually a very good Kicker.

#Packers announce they've signed another kicker -- Zach Ramirez.

Background on K Zach Ramirez is that he tried out for Seahawks in their rookie camp. That's it. He will wear No. 1 for GB.

Packers just signed Zach Ramirez. Rook out of Portland St. Actually played using the name Zach Brown I believe. Looking for some of his stats and info on Portland States discrimination policy.

Awesome! #1

 

It's quite obvious they are very worried about our FG kicker

THE piece

I would say this signing is not good for Tavecchio.

EXCELLENT, Smithers.  So far our plan has worked to perfection.  Johnny Six-Pack, aka MMC is following our plan to the letter.  

 

Yes.

 

Excellent!

No, this idiot sees it too. I was thinking a Tim Wakefield knuckleball. He doesn't hit the ball right IMO. He doesn't consistently have that nice end-over-end that keeps the ball straight.

It's not easy watching someone go from trying to make kicks to trying not to miss kicks. That's Crosby right now. the ball is all over the place. Gets worse the harder he hits it. It's a long shot he ever gets his mind right in GB. Not that he can't but no team has the time to spare while a K sorts things out. Change of scenery might do him wonders.

http://blogs.nfl.com/2013/04/1...displays-strong-leg/ Not sure if this kid is the answer...but jesus **** thank you...the other two dumdums need to go Pro Days Portland State’s Zachary Ramirez displays strong leg Gil Brandt By Gil Brandt | Published: April 11th, 2013 | Tags: 2013 pro days, Portland State, super regional combine, Zachary Ramirez Representatives from four NFL teams gathered at Portland State’s pro day on March 12, where a top kicking prospect displayed a strong leg while working out outdoors on FieldTurf. Zachary Ramirez (who went by Zachary Brown at Portland State, but his legal name is Zachary Ramirez) measured 6-foot 1/2-inch, 203 pounds. He did not run the 40-yard dash or the shuttle, but did a 34-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-5 broad jump. Six kickoffs went into the end zone, and was also a perfect 6-for-6 on field goal attempts at the pro day, including making two from 55 yards out. As one of the top kickers at the Football Championship Subdivision level, Ramirez was 17-for-18 on field goal attempts during the 2012 season. At the Super Regional Combine held in Dallas on April 7-8, Ramirez missed just one field goal attempt, which came from 40-plus yards out. Ramirez’s leg strength makes him a draftable player.

03/17/13 - 2013 Portland State Pro Day: Brown alleviated any concerns that he might not have fully recovered from a knee injury during his senior season by blasting the majority of his kicks. He boomed four kickoffs into the end zone, all with good hang time, and then took turns kicking from the left and right hash marks from increasing distances. He missed his first kick from 25 yards out, then made his next eight kicks before missing his second from 45 yards.

 

He made one of two from 52 and apparently impressed the scouts enough that they decided to test him from 55 yards out. His first kick bounced off the pole, off the net and off the pole again (Brown said it would have been good) and his second cleared easily. "It was a little more than what I expected, but I'm happy," he said.

 

 

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1m The FG period at the end of practice is going to be interesting. Three kickers and a strong, swirling wind. Wonder if Grammatica or Steve Sax gets cut today

Watching a couple of the vines of WR's doing ball security drills. It sounds like the wind is howling at practice today. FG's are going to be fun today.

Ramirez has a strong, strong leg

@TyDunne:  They're not messing around today. Going 60 yards. Crosby, Tavecchio, Ramirez all good.

 

@TyDunne:  There is a wind helping them out.

Bye Crosby!!!!

 

HELLOOOO RAMIREZ!!!!

Crosby and Ramirez were 10 of 11. Tavecchio was 9 of 11.

How about walking into a three man kicking competition off the street and going 10-11 including a 60 and 63 yarder? And he flew one well past Masthay in KO's. 

 

impressive stuff.

Should've signed this kid months ago.

He's making me not even want Kickalicious!

 

HOORAY!!

 

Does make one wonder why he wasn't brought in sooner.

@RobDemovsky

How about 4 kickers for the #Packers. RT @MikeGarafolo: Cardinals released K Dan Carpenter today, per source.

MM said they had looked at Ramirez in the past and wanted another look.

Carpenter coming in too?

Not just a "regular season head case" thing Boston. Remember family night? Last weeks 3 misses in a row from 43? 

 

No clue what Ramirez is like in an NFL game. But I think he's the new K in GB. 

MM: How do I feel about kicking situation? We have three kickers, I think that shows exactly how we feel.

No B$ there eh B. Jim?

MM: I don't think kicking situation confuses situation. Heightens competition. Mason had his best day.

Ramirez just pulled his hammy...I'M KIDDING!!!!!!!! Man I hope we just found a kicker.

 

Come Tuesday Denny Terrio is gone. Crosby and Ramirez till the cut to 53.

I don't know Boris. How do you top a nickname like THAT? Oh oh... I see a new X4 contest a brewin...

 

After last year and this preseason, I can't see how GB goes into the season with Crosby. Cut Crosby now And let Ramirez and Pinnochio fight for the spot. Maybe even take a look at Carpenter. 

All of these names for Serpico are hilarious!

Lil grammatica and Steve Sax are gone I hope.  

 

I am ok with giving Zach "Night Stalker" Ramirez the gig....or anyone at this point other then these two clowns.

They need a kicker,not a carpenter.Ryan Longwell is available if they can talk him out of retirement.

 

Have to believe the organization has the same concerns about Tavecchio's leg strength that many fans do. Likely a cut and it's Mason vs. Zach.
