  • Akers

    As David Akers appears poised to break the Eagles record for field goals next week, is anyone still concerned about him? Seems to me that the man is back on track.

    I think we need to bring someone in in training camp that is really going to create competition.

      He's been solid. Yeah, you bring a guy in. But to me, he looks like he found himself. I'll bet he has a couple of make or break kicks to come this season.

        Isn't this easier said than done? Who could we possibly bring in that is going to be that potentially better than Akers to really be a legitimate competition? Any good kicker, or one with that much potential to overtake him will probably find a situation where he's likely to make the team and won't just be "competition for Akers."

          He's been fine. Let's see what he does the next 2 weeks. The only job worse than his is being a thankless holder or snapper.

            God I love Philly fans..... 6 (just using for the point) weeks ago the guy was done and needed to be fired "that" day.

              Amazing what having your job security threatened does for a kicker and a QB, Eh MD?

                Does Reid get credit for sticking with him and giving him time to turn things around, or ripped for not replacing him? I keep forgetting how this works. I'd like to see him hit a 45 or 50 yarder for good measure, but for the most part, it looks like Money's back, and that's great.

                  I still have no confidence in him. Until I see him make 45+ yard field goals consistently I'll have my doubts. He's been missing anything over 40 yards pretty regularly for the last two seasons. Three weeks isn't going to make me forget the games we lost because we couldn't hit a makable FG.

                    He's been doing better, but I still think they need to bring some competition into camp.

                          BTW-- he is at 86% from 40-49 and he is tied for 4th in the NFL for Kickers.

                            Was one of those 40 yarders blocked? I know that the SF block was a 54 yarder.

                              Don't know, but he is 6 of 7 from 40-49.
