Kicking Audition

[Bulldog]

According to WGR, Buffalo brought in Todd France for a workout. Maybe there is hope after all. Lindell isn't getting the job done. I feel worse about him this year that I did last, and that's really saying something. I'll be interested to see if anything comes of this.

Re: Kicking Audition

I don't know who Todd France is, but chances are he's better than Lindell.

Re: Kicking Audition

I hope he's better than Lindell, too.

But remember the old addage: Be careful what you wish for.

Re: Kicking Audition

yeah, who is Todd France?

Re: Kicking Audition

I thought I'd never see the day when France brings aid and comfort to BillsZone members.


If he's better than Lindell - go for it.

He was cut by the Bucs. Here's a little write up I found on Yahoo :

Sounds like he was pretty good in preseason.

Re: Kicking Audition

good to know they see a need for an upgrade. Don't know if France is that but at least they are looking

Re: Kicking Audition

I doubt we sign him. I mean how often do you hear of a guy getting cut and coming in for a tryout and getting signed....OK, now tell me how many of them are kickers and how many of them actually get to play??....IMO, this is a kind of wakeup call to Lindell. TD loves him, I have no idea why but he does.

Re: Kicking Audition

Sure, give him a tryout. I'm not avers to finding an alternative to Lindell. I'm probably not as anti-Lindell as most people are though.

you will be when he costs us two games this season. The thing that scares me is that he puts so much pressure on the offense late in close games. Other teams only have to get to the 30 yard line to give their kickers a shot- we have to get to the 20 and even then it's no sure thing...

Who's to say a virtual rookie like France won't cost us three games? Untested kickers are a real crapshoot.
