Chiefs counting on Succop to solve kicking woes - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
"So far during camp I feel like I’ve been really consistent. I’ve made 90 some percent of my field goals during team," he said. "As a kicker you definitely have to be mentally strong. I mean you can’t let anything bother you, you just got to be tough mentally. You know whether it’s windy conditions or rainy, it doesn’t matter you just have to go out there and just know you’re going to make the kick."

Succop
After draining all 4 FGs today, Succop was punting on field two. One went 45 yards and the other 40…yes I said punting. So if Colquitt goes does we have an emergency option.

Thank you for that tidbit
I think that is one reason why he was kept over Barth.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
I was thinking punting was the 3rd reason he was kept over Barth after kickoffs and FG range
He handled both kicking and punting duties for 3 years in college I think. As someone mentioned in another post his punting experience and strong leg on FGs will be beneficial. Special teams and field position is very important to Haley.
2009-10 Predictions:
1. Chiefs will win ATLEAST 6 games, which is a big improvement over 6 wins in 2 seasons
2. Succop will bring stability to the K position for the first time in years
3. Chiefs D will atleast double the number of sacks form last season
4. Cassel will be a top 15 QB
5. Todd Haley won't make a poster and jump around holding it up welcoming the Chiefs players to summer camp, I mean TRAINING camp
No kidding, I don't think any other team has had as much trouble as the Chiefs
trying to find a decent kicker

yep
can be used to kick a 58 yarder, then the next time line em up and pooch punt them to the 10….wait for it to happen.
pooch punt...
could definitely come in handy. line him up for a 60 yard field goal and have him punt it instead. unreturnable.
Please let this guy be the next lowery!!
Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry to disappoint you.
