jranieli Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Not sure what to think on this one. Even though he missed two in Green Bay, he made some nice kicks this year. Snaps were a problem throughout the year. http://giants.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/11/spoke-too-soon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphScott Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Don't hate me for saying this, but I don't think Tynes is a good kicker. He isn't a great kicker, but he is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 kickers should get no more than 1 game contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Stupid, stupid move. 5 fucking years? in NFL 5 years =1 year- just a way to spread out signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 in NFL 5 years =1 year- just a way to spread out signing bonus. What's the point in spreading it out if you're going to cut him anyway? It makes the cap look better for now, but will cause an issue when they have to include four years worth of the guaranteed money on the tab next year. His kick-offs have improved recently though so I'm not as down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsmalls Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Don't hate me for saying this, but I don't think Tynes is a good kicker. I don't. But he is 1000x better than Jay Feely only because he fucking sent us to the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Tynes has been a good kicker in the league. I remember when he won a game for KC with a 53 yarder and he did hit a 47 yarder to go to the SB, after missing 2 in -4 degree weather. Tynes is a good re-sign.

Sephiroth Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have mixed feelings too. I feel like we won this year despite Tynes instead of because of him. Which means... given my track record with judging talent... he'll be a Pro Bowl kicker for the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 To me it comes down to the Stadium, it's been a fact that Giant's stadium isnt the easiest place to kick in. I think Tynes was adjusting to that in his first number of games were we did see the missed PAs(only missed two) and the odd missed FG. I think the coaches like what they have recently seen in Tynes, being able to miss two in a playoff game to send your team to the SB but yet being able to shrug it off and still being able to go out there. Also I dont think they want to be brining in a new kicker who will have to adjust to the weather like Tynes had to. I don't see whats so bad 23 of 27 isnt bad considering where he has to kick.

Lubeck Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 And also considering a rookie long snapper. Tynes did a decent job. He really wasn't put into too many pressure situations, but Green Bay was definitely a pressure situation and he did well in the Super Bowl too.

fringe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 2 things i can't stand: kickoffs out of bounds ( devon hester excepted) missed extra points otherwise, he's adequate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If that's true, then I don't like it. The winning field goal in Green bay aside, to me he had a lot of mental breakdowns. I mean, he missed 2 kicks beforehand, the second of which was a God awful shank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Tynes used to drive me crazy, and then that 47 yarder in Green Bay wiped all my bitterness away. I'm fine with him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 See Jay Feely, all you need to do to get paid from the Giants is hit 1 out of 3 game winners. in all honesty,last I checked he hit 85 % of his kicks, like someone else said, snaps have been the bigger problem early in the year and in the gb game. I have no problem with Tynes coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If that's true, then I don't like it. The winning field goal in Green bay aside, to me he had a lot of mental breakdowns. I mean, he missed 2 kicks beforehand, the second of which was a God awful shank. Nobody had hit over 40 yards and one was a bad snap where he stutter stepped. I will admit his mental mistakes have been an issue from time to time but getting reasonably good kicker in the NFL is hard. As somebody pointed out 23 of 27 isn't bad (especially when you can see he is getting better and better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
