ExtremeSkins Staff Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Making his debut for the Redskins, rookie kicker Zach Hocker's confidence wasn't the least bit rattled by the moment as he converted on both field goal attempts and was strong on kickoffs.

Johns Bass Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Kai on the other hand; sure played rattled. A kickoff out of bounds at the 7? Missing a 47 yard FG to the left or right is one thing. Missing to the right and putting it under the crossbar is ugly. Zach did what he was called on to do - make FGs and kickoff to the end zone. Threw in a tackle, too. Obviously the new staff is giving more latitude than the last one would. MS would have had Forbath empty his locker last nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid actually looked good with that leg tackle and if he didn't tackle then that returner was most likely going to score. I've seen alot of kickers/punters who didn't want contact or get their uniform dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goskins10 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Unless something major happens, Kai is gone. I like the kid but he is not a complete kicker. This kid Hocker has it all. Â On topic but not about the guys - What do you all think of the 33 yd extra point? I kind of like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johns Bass Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I like the longer extra point also. Do you think it might lessen the chance of an injury on the play? I think it might.  Was watching one of the games last night (forget which) and thinking dude you better kick this or you're going to get a...then there goes the flag for a delay of game. Could be a lot of reasons why they didn't set up in time but made it more interesting. Anyone know if the plan is to incorporate it this season if it goes over well or wait till next?
