It’s weird that his career is basically done. It took my like… ten years before I finally stopped thinking GB’s kicker was Ryan Longwell, and now it’s like he’s only had a short career to me lol.

Silver Fox <3

If we keep Grupe around with the way our offense is going he's gonna be the Saints all-time leading scorer.

I don’t understand how the Texans don’t have a kicker at all anymore but mason Crosby is just jobless right now.

[–] Stealthychicken85@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mason sadly doesn't have the strength to hit the endzone for consistent touch backs, and also struggled at 50+ attempts. But he was really solid in the under 50 attempts.

So as long as u don't care for kick returns and keep him in the long 40 or shorter range, he is a solid pickup

I'm shocked teams aren't trying more of the XFL kickers out. Texans are to replace Amendola but there are still some top XFL kickers that could likely compete against Crosby at this point in his career.

Maybe he doesn't want a job with an obvious expiration date? Just speculating obviously but it could make sense

I'll always love the sexy Silver Fox.

[–] birdsemenfantasy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Too bad he's not one of Rodgers' boys or he would be kicking for the Jets

[–] Herewego27@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He also couldn't make it to the endzone on kickoffs unfortunately.

Grupe needs a break after this past weekend lol

[–] regice112@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think he tweaked his groin on the 54 yarder

[–] IdyllicGod22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Didn’t Grupe hit like 5 kicks last week? Why is NO looking for a kicker?

[–] Cold_oak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he is not clutch at all. i don’t think hes made a field goal inside 5 minutes this year. obv not the main issue but not as good as that game would have you believe

[–] fieryscribe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He'll have plenty of opportunities to kick FGs since Derek Carr has completely erased the notion of a touchdown from his memory

[–] MrShad0wzz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

A touch what?

[–] GGGiveHatpls@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But also Dennis Allen is getting his ass fired this off season

[–] _HGCenty@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kickers tend to be the all time leading scorers for every franchise...

[–] ReturnOfTheJurdski@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I didn't realize he wasn't on the team. I'll never forget that game against us where he missed like 3 or 4 FGs INDOORS!

[–] steve1186@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love that Crosby is still kicking.

He was a senior at Colorado while I was a freshman. We’d get to games early and watch him casually bomb 65 yard FGs during warmups.
