I'd give him a tryout. Some gusty wind in these videos too.

That's pretty damn awesome! (If it's real.)

You can do just about anything in a highlight video if you have 50 takes each time. Although he certainly looks like he has impressive leg strength.
For some reason, the first thing I thought after the curve shots from narrow angles was "Bend it like Kris Brown" and how that would not be such a good thing for a field goal kicker.

I guess he forgot to get a pedicure before his tryout.

Nothing, but some good competition wouldn't hurt a thing. Seems to be a good punter too....can't say I've been pleased with Butler this year. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain in a tryout.

If he was around, I'd give him a camp invite. But he'd have to do significantly better than Suisham for me to replace him.

Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing that neither. There'd be a bonus as well, having a punter that could double has a placekicker

Jan Stenerud set a pretty good precedence for Norwegian PKs. I wish the kid luck.

I don't mind competition for Suisham. Before last season I wanted him replaced. Last season he was great - I don't know if he went on roids or what.

Agreed.
However 80% of kicking is half mental.
So I think a lot has to do with him getting his head in the game.
