Twice getting cut for Forbath.
Not a really a resume builder.

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

So, if DHop misses a few FGs and we sign Hocker, the circle will continue. Wonder how long that can go?

In all seriousness, I really like what we've seen of Hopkins so far. Honestly, he and Breeland were the only ones that seemed to play well against the Jets.

I completely agree!

I too like what I have seen so far!

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

Hopkins has been money and making McC's choice look like a great decision. Unfortunately we've seen kickers come and go based on a bad 1-2 games, so hope his good play continues.

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

I don't think there's any downside to Hopkins yet.

He's shown he has a strong leg and he's accurate. He missed a 50+ yard kick, then came back, corrected himself and made a 50+ yard kick.

Can't hate too much on that. Barring some sort of catastrophic implosion, I think he'll at least make it through the season.

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

Well....Dempsey made a 63 yarder with half a foot. Sooo maybe he should be doing a bit better than that?
....just sayin'

The way kickers kicked FGs back then (Straight approach), with the style of shoe Dempsey wore (A shortened old school kicking shoe with a larger front face) that half foot was actually a small advantage. Like with a golf club the larger face lessens the chance of a miss hit. Don't know if the modern FG kickers wear different shoes that the other players, but they did
back in Dempsey's day. In today's NFL I doubt Dempsey would have been allowed to wear a special shoe, Goodell (I can't stand him) would have told him to were two identical shoes and stuff a sock in the one with the deformed foot.

I questioned the move at the time but I'm one kick away from ordering a jersey.. So far he's playing at an elite level. Unfortunately kickers just disappear and he could end up doing the same but I sure hope we have our guy for the foreseeable future.

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

Hopkins has done well so far....he's kicked impressively and and It's great that the deep kickoff is no longer an issue...

Re: Redskins release Kai Forbath, sign Dustin Hopkins
 

Glad to see Forbath doing well...
