Justin Medlock Update

I don't know if anyone cares, but Herm and Carl's kicker from last year is now kicking in the CFL with the Toronto Argonauts. On Friday, Medlock went 7 for 7 with 3 kicks over 50 yards in a 36-28 loss to the BC Lions. Through 7 games Justin Medlock is 18/19 (94.7 %) and has not missed a field goal inside 50 yards.
Kickers quite often bounce around before figuring it out, and I won't be suprised to see Medlock in the NFL again in the future.

7 for 7 with 3 kicks over 50 yards
Aren’t Canadian yards worth less than the US ones? That’s like 3 kicks from around 40, right? =)

yeah, with the exchange rate differences
The Canadian yard is strong vs the US yard right now

Canadian money is worth more than ours now….

Not yet
Still around $0.91 on the dollar. Plus our money looks funny and our dollar bills are coins. Good for strip clubs, but it is too heavy in my pocket.

YA' KNOW WHY CANADIENS LIKE TO DO IT DOGGIE STYLE?
So they can watch hockey together.

Maybe, but the wind really swirls around inside the the giant igloos.
It makes field goals much more diificult, and that’s not even mentioning the polar bears running around on the field. :)

Don't forget the piles of moose droppings
Kickers have to be sure they get their plant foot down in a safe spot.

Don't forget
the possibility of a “saskwatch” attack. That is definitely something that kickers have to be aware of & on the alert for when they’re playing in the Canadian wilderness!

Thank You Carl Peterson for drafting Dustin Colquitt

Medlock is also punting...
Doing dual duty and actually doing a pretty good job of it too.

Also
I believe he replaced Mike Vanderjagt who was the Argo kicker last year.

I Did Not Like That Kid
I realize “Hard Knocks” was not an objective, comprehensive assessment of the Chiefs’ season, but that kid looked for all the world like a half-asser. When Tony Gonzalez is getting up and lecturing you about how you have to hit your FGs in practice in a tone that indicates he doesn’t think you’re taking it seriously, then you’re probably not doing all you can do to win the job.
And it’s not like the Chiefs didn’t give the kid plenty of cushion…he was a terrible kicker in preseason and they didn’t bring in competition so he wouldn’t feel overpressured, then he missed what should have been a gimme shot in the regular season. If he’s got a problem with the Chiefs after all that, I think that says all we need to know about Medlock and he can rot in Canada for all I care.

well he thinks hes hot shit when he talks down to highschoolers in the weightroom, he also thinks hes really cool because he drives a mustang shelby, and he thinks hes a pimp because his girlfriend is some fat asian chick. What an exciting life this guy lives

Posted Too Soon
I was saying that I second Buck’O’s sentiment as to my mind Medlock’s an even bigger waste than the kicker who shall not be named (you know, Linn Elliott). At least Elliott had the integrity to feel horrible about his poor performance…Medlock’s just a snotty little shit from UCLA who apparently blames everyone else for him being a washout.
