Tour2ma Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 And the crowd roars... "WHO?" Here's who... Rookie out of FAU that kicked 3 FGs for the Fins in preseason. He was 3 for 3... 48, 54 and 33 yd. Quote Miami Dolphins rookie Greg Joseph believes he’s an NFL kicker Aug 30, 2018 By ATLANTA — The next 48 hours will be tough on Dolphins kicker Greg Joseph, especially since the Premier League matches don’t come on until Saturday morning. Joseph is one of a few dozen Miami players sweating out the upcoming roster deadline, but his situation is as straightforward as it gets: By Saturday at 4 p.m., it’ll either be him or Jason Sanders on the roster in a decision likely made by special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi. The other one will be on the open market, but the good thing from Joseph’s perspective is that he believes he’s proven himself as a legitimate kicker whether he stays with Miami or not. “People have told me if it doesn’t work here, ‘You’re gonna have a shot and you deserve to be one of the 32,’” Joseph said. “A couple months ago I was just a kicker from FAU, so I’m thankful to Rizz for giving me a shot. Whether I’m part of the 53 or not, I’m leaving that building with a smile on my face because I did everything I could and I’ve had a great experience.” Joseph, who also played at American Heritage School in Delray Beach, came in as an undrafted rookie to compete against Sanders, a seventh-round pick from New Mexico. All indications throughout the past few months have been that the two kickers are fairly even. In tonight’s 34-7 victory over the Falcons, Sanders made a 56-yard field goal and missed badly on a 53-yarder that might have been deflected. Joseph hit one from 33 yards. For the four preseason games, Sanders hit 7 of 9 and his only misses were from at least 50 yards, while Joseph made his only three attempts (the previous two were from 48 and 54 yards). Joseph had received no indication of the Dolphins’ plans at his position as of tonight, but felt good about his performance nonetheless. “My goal was to be the best me I could be, and I do think I showcased that,” he said. “What this camp has done for my confidence and my competitiveness is second to none. I’m just happy to have had this opportunity to learn about myself as a man and an athlete. I can’t wait to take that knowledge and apply it to life.” Beyond his confidence that he deserves a job kicking somewhere, Joseph will be fine regardless. He completed his undergraduate degree in exercise science and health promotion and is three classes away from getting a Master’s in Health Administration from FAU. “The reason I’m so secure with whatever happens here is because I feel like I’ve done a great job, with the help of others, to prepare myself for life after football,” he said.

calfoxwc Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Great move - I just wonder if he was hurt. Or, wore his knee out. Something? Had to make that move - they did, we're good. Had a groin injury? Who is the special teams coach again? dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrb12711 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 The 2nd most accurate kicker in NFL history is looking for a job, and this is the result. Just don't get it barring Bailey flat out saying he didn't want to play here. Cowboys cut the dude strictly for money savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I mean I get it, if Gonzalez had a groin injury that absolutely could be the cause of the pulls to the left we saw.....but then so what? we still need another kicker....or at least a punter that can also be the faux kicker. Problem with that theory is....Gonzalez was "booming" kickoffs...so really? Groin injury and he's still putting balls damn near through the goal posts on kickoffs? Doesn't pass my smell test.

In the NFL- you're only as good as your last kick. Go ahead and be in D-Nile that Gone-zalez wasn't the primary reason we lost the Saints game, and there's no denying he makes that kick with three seconds left, the game is going to overtime. So, if you can't do your job, we're going to try and find someone else that can. Especially at the cost of a hard fought game that easily could have been a win. You probably didn't look at the other thread, but mjp put up some telling stats that Gonzales has pretty much sucked- even last year. If you want to say Dorsey made a mistake keeping him, and not going with the other guy after training camp- be my guest. Hey- Vegas regular- you know damn well most NFL point spreads are three points or less- the difference of a made or missed field goal. As Gipper pointed out Scott Norwood's miss cost the Bills a Super Bowl win. BTW- those meanie Vikings are going to replace their kicker too, after he blew a couple FGs in overtime, costing them a win. Please don't feed the troll.

British Browns Fan Everton Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 A guy who played most of his youth playing football/soccer than American football. Good pre season, young and now been given an amazing opportunity. He will be used to kicking and under pressure. But the NFL is a different kettle of fish. I'll back him.

Apparently Adam Schefter was reporting it too but as you say he kicked off fine out of the end zone, any injury was obviously not that serious to prevent from kicking. And lets not act like Zane was tearing it up since he was drafted he was marginal at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
