    Re: Parker Douglass

    The announcers also said that the Raven's are known for having an overabundance of players worthy of making NFL rosters that they end having to cut, so there was scouts from over half the league watching that game. It does seem like the Jets kicking job is just being kept warm until Feely comes back, but Parker was auditioning for tons of other teams last night as well.

      Parker and Melhaff both have big legs and both aren't far from being NFL kickers. Wouldn't that be something, Vinatieri, Douglass and Melhaff. 3 of the 32 NFL kickers being SD kids (or at least lived here, Parker is from Neb I believe).

        TV tweeting that both Parker and Mitch Erickson were cut today.

            Think Parker might get a tryout with the Seahawks this week?

            Jim Mora Jr.'s comments after the Seahawks loss to the Bears:

            "You've got to make those kicks, especially in a game like this when you're in a game like this kicking and fighting and scratching and playing your tail off and you miss those kicks," coach Jim Mora said, anger growing in his voice. "Not acceptable. Not acceptable. Absolutely not acceptable."We'll look at making a change everywhere. We're not going to play our [rears] off and have a field goal kicker go out there and miss two field goals and lose a game." link

            Just a thought though: this is an A-hole move by Jim Mora the Younger, as the kicker feels bad enough for missing those kicks, but then the head coach goes and throws him under the bus saying he lost the game as if there wasn't any interceptions or missed tackles at turning points in the game.

              It is his job and he gets paid well to do it, you don't perform you get replaced. The coach was right on.

                Agreed. Things are different in the NFL.

                  I don't disagree with the kicker losing his job (if he ends up doing so) for not preforming, as that is part of the game. I just feel calling out your kicker in the national media is a bit overboard and shows a lack of class. Fire him and move on if that is what needs to be done, don't torment the guy more about it.

                    Exactly.

                    Seriously, who comes out of a situation like that looking bad? The kicker or the coach who aired his laundry in public?

                    Memo to Mora: losing your cool at a press conference is a great way to end up the butt of jokes:

                    "They were who we thought they were!!!"

                    "I'm a man! I'm 40!"

                    And one that should've struck close to home:

                    "Playoffs? Playoffs?"

                      I hadn't seen that take off on Gundy's rant before. Pretty funny stuff and I'm sure that based on the fact that the dealership is located in Norman (home of OU) it got a lot of positive pub!!

                        I immediately told my son and wife when I saw those comments that this was a potential opportunity for Parker. As bad as those comments sound, as the coach if you now don't bring kickers into town then you lose credibility.

                        Its the way things work in the NFL, your opportunity comes at the expense of another palyer. Especially in the kicking game opportunities don't come around that often. I hope that Parker at least gets flow out for a try out.

                          Per the Argus Leader:

                            Just caught a glimpse of the UFL opener on Versus, Parker is 2 for 2 on xp's so far, but don't think I can watch another snap.

                                Isn't he still in the NFL? I plays under his real name but I could have sworn he was in the NFL now.
                                Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!--Bluto--
