David Buehler

I was having my water cooler meeting this morning with a buddy from the office and I was saying D. Thomas should have had a TD on that one return he just couldn't past the kicker, I was like that is pathetic.


Well come to find out the Cowboys place kicker is no "regular" kicker.

Yeah I think on the Redskins Blog they had something about this earlier this week. Not all kickers are chumps. Anyone remember Kevin Butler back in the day on the Bears, dude liked to hit!

Wasn't John Hall like that for us when he first got here? His problem was he hit one too many guys and it started to take toll and ended up making him pretty injury prone.

Hall just had leg issues at the end, but yeah he wasn't afraid of sticking his nose in there.

Kickers take that shit personally when you bust a return. Kind of like pitchers when you stand and look at the "shot to the stands" to long?

A guy that never seems to be mentioned much by us & the Skins faithful, but was a great kicker & won us quite a few games - Chip Lohmiller (e.g. Dallas game in dallas 1991, he won that one for us).

He was a big dude & decent athlete, but it was so rare that he actually had to make a tackle.

THIS is how you deal with a....Rogue kicker

I like to think Thomas would have bowled over the kicker but if I remember correctly it looked like he was slightly off balance or tried to make a last minute cut and the kicker grabbed him while off balance and brought him down. Thomas should have just stiff armed him. lol.

John Hall was a big hitter too. Horrible kicker unfortunately.

Buehler also shanked that gimme field goal the other night. I'm unimpressed by a kicker who can tackle but can't kick. Maybe Buehler should take a day off.

I remeber reading his wiki way back when and he beat a lot of the big name players from USC's draft class:

NFL Draft
Buehler was one of twelve USC players invited to the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine.[10] At the Combine, Buehler opted to participate in areas not required of kickers, and recorded results on strength and speed tests that were better than other regarded linebackers and offensive linemen; he recorded 25 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press test, better than USC teammate Rey Maualuga, linemen Michael Oher and Eugene Monroe, and equal to Aaron Curry, and ran 4.56 and 4.63 seconds in the 40-yard dash, better than teammates Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews III.[11][12]

Last year he was the kick off specialist because he has such a strong leg, his accuracy has always been a problem. Last year he also played in a lot of speical teams, like kickoff return, punting team and punt return because hes so fast. I think hes just kicking this year, but im sure they can find a place for him if his accuracy continues to be a problem.
