So is that an official kick? If so, he's got a new record. Either way... he's definitely worth a tryout.

He signed a 2 year contract after the superbowl...he's getting a tryout. I bet he puts on quite a show in training camp.

Would be nice if he could do both punting and kicking. But then, he would have to hold for his own field goals.

But seriously, that extra roster spot would be a great advantage over the rest of the league. Hope he has a good TC. It is always easier to kick in non game situations.

id be happy if he could make 50 yard FG at heinz and as carnoj said a lot easier when 300lb men are not screaming towards you ,

exactly. i can't tell if the ball has the right amount of lift to get over the O-line and D-line. he has plenty of time to size-up the kick on the nicely manicured field. the wind also appears to be at his back.

i'm not saying he isn't good or can't be good, but he was a free agent. perhaps he was always in a bad situation when it came time to make cuts

I am impressed but like so many have said lets see what he can do in a game situation. It would also be nice to see a kickoff sail into the endzone once in a while.

To bad we won't know what he can do this season.

Nice find S4M, thanks for sharing.

The guy kicks effortless, BUT as some have said we need to see him in games. There will be a nice battle in TC for the spot which is a good thing :thumbsup:

In 2010, his was the worst season for a field goal for the Steelers since the 2001 season.

I hope that the Steelers will be better in 2011!
