[Greenoughrunner]

I know he likes to kick field goals and has always wanted to be the kicker. And I noticed that in the photos from yesterdays practice he was kicking one. Do you think if we get a big enough lead tomorrow they will let him kick one?

[Kenny]

Doubt it unless we get a free kick like SF did before the half yesterday.

[Greenoughrunner]

I think it would be cool for him to try a 60+ kick if we have like a 30+ lead in the forth 

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

No

[Nobody]

His practicing FG is no new thing.

Yeah...I was thinking that last night during the game.  I hope we get a chance to see that.

Boomstick does make long FGs in practice but that is without the defense or pressure being put on him. I have seen him also play a couple of other positions in practice as well. Most of us already know that he is a very good athlete who probably could play other positions if he chose to. Not too many kickers are considered football players but Pat is not one of them.

He's a good tackler as we unfortunately found out with some of special teams play through the years!

Very true. I am glad those days are gone but it's nice to have a safety valve just in case a returner gets through.

No

Vinatieri is the 9th all time score leader in the NFL, and probably would like to be higher up by the time he finishes. 

[SkyBane]

In all honesty, Vinatirie can't have many years left. So while not this season, it actually seems reasonable to me to that Pat might get a shot at being the place kicker when Adam decides to retire. It's certainly not the worst option the Colts have in that regard.

if he is the pk, who punts?

[Gavin]

Nah my source told me  the coaching staff was going to give him triple duty starting next year, He is going to be our Punter, Our Knewest Interior Linebacker that many of us want as well but the talk is they have been secretly having him practice to be our #1 wr next year.....You heard it here first folks!

I was thinking about that last night. I said heck we should try that with Boomstick. He can kick 70 yarders. 

[Valpo2004]

 

Something like that could start a trend or change the game where specialists are expected to both punt and kick FG.  

 

Biggest problem I have is that in the unlikely event of an injury we have no one on our roster who can punt or kick FG and we somehow have to struggle through the game without someone who can do that.  (Typically your PK is your backup punter and vice versa)

[jameszeigler834]

I think he takes over for Adam when the colts decide its time for a change.

[jameszeigler834]

And Landry and Bradshaw being out kinda sucks any word on whether Ricky Jean will play. or not.

[jvan1973]

I think he takes over for Adam when the colts decide its time for a change.

i don't see that happening

[Indygal1218]

We could get Kickalicious to be Patty Mac's backup.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I think when Venateri is done they will consider letting Mcafee letting do both punt And kick. If he could do it would save a roster spot. But if he was injured, you would need to sign both a kicker & punter, HMMM, maybe you have a kicker or punter on the practice squad?

[shakedownstreet]

if we get a big lead we should let patty take some snaps at qb. maybe we could try luck at placekicker 

[Bluefire4]

If we had a 60 yard field goal attempt and we were up 20 in the 4th quarter I'd let him try it. He hit a 65 yarder in training camp right?

Funny you should say that. I have witnessed Pat lining up in the wr spot during training camp before. I ask him about it and he just said he was a jack of all trades and laughed about it. I doubt it was serious but he might be athletic enough to pull it off. 

[crazycolt1]

Pat has been listed as the emergency QB before. With that in mind I have always took notice in case he ever faked a punt and put the ball in the air or took off running. I am not to sure about the Luck comment though.

LOL. People are anticipating blowiuts now? J'ville did win in Indy last season

Well the Colts did just curb stomp SF in SF, so surely the next thought is that they'll beat the Jags so bad that their mothers won't even recognize them!

 

Seriously though, do you always have to be such a downer?

As impressive as that was, they need to prove it over time

I should have noted the sarcasm in that first statement. I agree that it takes more than one week to make or break your season.

[Indy B]

When did our "punter" start wearing his punters glove? 

Not a big McAfee fan here... he is a punter and needs to leave the "all about Pat" distractions behind. I will say he does put the "I" in Team.

Jersey #1 with a horrible television show, punting/kicking glove and skinny jeans?

I agree. Punters should be total robots, no personality, no lives off the field, they don't even need a voice because they should be seen and not heard. The nerve of this guy to choose the number 1 for his jersey... And what's with the glove, right? What a total selfish loser. McAfee should live and breath to punt and kickoff for the Colts, and should do nothing else.

The only scenario I see is it's a must make 60+ yarder, but even then I don't think he has a big enough leg.

he has plenty of leg. His accuracy is the unknown

The only way I see McAfee ever kicking a field goal in a game, is if it's a free kick after a fair catch.

Welcome to the forum... very bad first post.

[Andy]

We don't really know. In the video he kicked those kicks without equipement, a bigger start then what a normal kicker does and it seemed like the wind helped him.

 

There really isn't any proof that he has enough leg.
