@@Andrew_Waples - Cowboys coaches said that he messed up and ran onto the field and set himself in position too early. He was waiting for far too long compared to his normal routine and just pooched it. It was just nerves, inexperience, and being too eager to get that kick off.
He made history this week becoming the first kicker to ever make a *60 yard and a 59 yard field goal* in the same game Additionally, He almost had a perfect season for field goals. He missed one field goal for the last game of 2023- 24 season. It was a blocked by the defense.
I'm still surprised that more MLS players don't retire from soccer after their careers are over and try out to be kicker in the NFL. Plenty of them still have a boot and a half and their foot skills are still top notch, especially keepers who are used to booting the ball past half field on most of their passes. Seems like an easy way to make a couple extra million after their retirement.
I seem to remember one of the first former soccer players in the NFL ...Pete Gogolak, I think. Actually, I looked him up and he was the first to use soccer style kick using foot insole and coming in from an angle. Don't know about his soccer experience.
Yea being an NFL kicker is the perfect retirement job for a MLS player. I'd imagine compared to being a midfielder it would be like a vacation. A whole lot less running and you still get to boot the ball every game. Plus you get paid tons of money and get front row seats to every game!
hi, i'm necroplolis's cousin, i'm staying at his place this weekend and he left his laptop open. yeah, i happen to have been compiling my thesis on his mother's genetic lineage and let me tell you in 75,000 words that what spectators are reporting is well within the average means of what should be our shared expectancy.@@dtkp33355
as aubrey's father, when his mother was pregnant with him i would be laying in bed asleep, maybe a foot away from my wife. then i would feel a hard kick in the kidneys. that's when i knew he would be a legend.
You guys can forget that a kicker can change the game. One of the reasons why the Bengals made their Super Bowl Run was because of their kicker. If they got anywhere on their opponents side of the field, they were walking away with points. That's how consistent he was, how accurate, and how good he was. A solid kicker will reward you even if you get stalled, and will win you close games if you just get close enough. Hell the Pats when they were the Pats won some of those Super Bowls with kicks. Getting a great kicker that can snipe you points is paramount.
I remember former Aussie Rules player Mark Jackson talking about the science of kicking, and how you set up, how you gauged the wind, your points of concentration, and so forth. It's not that much different from soccer, and that combined with power, no surprise the sidewinders started taking over in the 60s. Aubrey just stands out, due to his height, but also his motion is the exact same every time. He does not change his stance, but he clearly does allow for the wind, etc. He's amazing to watch.
As a rugby fan, I really don't understand why the NFL doesn't look outside the sport for good kickers. Is it just myopia? Maybe with the effectiveness of the "tush push" (which is basically just a rugby maul), that will change.
Yeah watched a video not long ago about how Aussie rules players come to the NFL and absolutely put players to shame with their kicking. Also Aussie rules it's a proper brutal game.
dude is a beast at 6'3" 200+. They gotta be able to measure leg strength or the power of the FG (velocity, etc) - like to see that data on kicker. You know the NFL has it - they hide a lot of stats - unlike baseball which tells you too much. Like with RB, what is there % TD on carries inside the 5 or something like that.
Aubrey is a stud and I’m thrilled that he’s my kicker but let’s not forget how good Mahers career with Dallas was! There’s a reason why we hired him twice! He broke a few Cowboys franchise records during his 2 stints with us. Hopefully Aubrey can do the same. At this rate I’d guess he’s going to.
Slightest correction: It was not Brandon Aubrey who saw the placekicker miss a field goal, it was his wife who saw it and told him "You could do that."
as a cowboys fan watching him miss that first one after Maher completely lost it made me feel some ways lol. Super cool he's from Plano Texas which is probably less than an hour from AT&T Stadium.
Brandon Aubrey, Plano, Texas! Went to school down the street from me!! After last night I bet the Iggles will remember his name! 60 yards, 59 yards, 45 and 50. Awesome.
Not surprising at all, but these NFL people are losing their minds over it lololol The best NFL kicker in history is probably some lad playing in England’s 2nd Division. Can’t tell me a guy like Beckham, Wayne Rooney, or Paul Scholes wouldn’t have destroyed the NFL’s kicking game.
Pretty common for highschool football teams to go to soccer players for kickers/punters. My highschool team was div 1 state champs back to back years with a soccer player as the kicker. Was really good too
ESPN needs you on their shows for special teams coverage. Put you in a corner and cut to you for couple minutes while you pump energy into the most neglected part of the game.
Perfect example of a dude who watches a missed field goal and says. "How could they miss that?" Then proceeds to get off his couch and go show how it is done. LEGEND!
Update. He still has yet to miss a FG, but he has missed 3 PATs. As much as I hate to see him miss anything, if I had to choose between missing a FG vs a PAT, I would rather see him miss a PAT, not a FG.
It always blows my mind how bad So Many kickers are in the NFL when legitimately all they do is kick,with no real worry of contact, for Crazy money and they still shank it. I guess its a mental thing..but if you get paid crazy money to legitimately just kick a ball a handful of times a week that should be sharp.. this shidd is ridiculous
I dont know if it is fact or just legend, but I've been told the Detroit Lions had a kicker as their highest scoring player for the season. I just stumbled onto this video, and I have never been too much into professional sports. The NFL was something my son and I shared while he was growing up, and he was/is a loyal, unapologetic Lions fan from early childhood.
I’d better there’s many more soccer player who could do this. That’s how I started in football as a kid. Coach saw me constantly kick gall kicks well beyond mid-field and asked me to join. The second year of kicking colleges (juco colleges) were looking at me and asking me to go to the camps. I wish I would have done it but I was set on going in the military in ‘90. I was still able to kick 50 plus’s in the military. I won a lot of lunches and beers for people not believing. I don’t really regret it in reality. Met a lot of good people.
I would be interested in your analysis of the bears 26 yard punt against Carolina in the 3rd quarter. It didn't appear to be blocked and landed in the middle of the field. I've seen shanks go less yards, but it's way out of bounds. It was odd
"played soccer and became a field goal kicker" Yeah, so did Kathy Ireland in the movie Necessary Roughness. I believe as a soccer player that he's a good fit as a kicker like this.
I know a trick that would help soccer players kick an American football even farther. I used to kick 60 yards in practice using this trick in high school. With about a 70% chance of making it, depending on wind speed. If the wind was behind me it would go even further but that's having the perfect weather. Now the trick is simple. It's the holder. He needs to tilt the football back to about 45 degrees so the belly of the ball is closer to the ground like a soccer ball and then watch them fly. I figured this out when a coach saw me kicking a soccer ball from one goal to another and with the ball rolling in the other goal. He asked if I could do that to a real football 😅. So I gave it a shot but I noticed when I was kicking the football it was getting air really high but it wasn't going the distance that I liked. I was only making 50 yard field goals 😅 which is at the 40 yard mark. So I asked my holder to lean the ball back a lil and the rest is history.
Never heard of this guy before now, but I love Justin Tucker and was a fan of Pat Macafee up until he sold his soul to ESPN. I was a big fan of that European dude that tried to break into the NFL, think he got a tryout with the Lions a few years ago, what ever happened to him? He used to kick footballs into the top of convertibles and stuff.
At one high school I was the school’s athletic trainer, back in the late 80s, and the football coach recruited a soccer player as the kicker. Kid did @not excellent job. Kid also went on to play pro soccer and I think he is in the soccer Hall of Fame now.
I like how got the first shank out of the way and followed it up with perfection.
Most likely nerves.
And lack of warm-up. He wasn't expecting to be kicking right then so he wasn't ready@@Andrew_Waples

its likle brett farve throwing an interception on his first play
That last kick: 55 yards, and it was still halfway up the net behind the goal posts! Crazy!
I'm very curious what his longest will be this season.
Im really sad he didnt get to try the 60 something yarder I really think he has a hell of chance of making one
He’s hit from 58, it’s one of the clips in the video
58 @ LA (sea level) is no joke. I’m guessing that’s worth 65 @ Denver

He’s a system kicker that’s why he’s doing so well. Just ask Brock Purdy. 😂 Seriously, great story!
3 weeks later, he's close to 30 consecutive.
If he wins MVP like that kicker for the raiders I would literally pee myself in laughter.
He kicked a 60 yarder last night against eagles with plenty off room and stunned the announcers cause he kept hitting the crossbar on kickoffs
My Patriots would trade him away after a season like this.
The story is that his wife said she thought he could kick a field goal.
I'm flashing on Nigel Gruff, from The Replacements. He was a soccer player known as "The Leg."
Coming back to this after seeing him hit a 66 yarder like it’s nothing
