Has anyone said why Parkey was short legging the KO's last Monday?


He was having problems with kicks all game and I noticed really during half time. He was coming up well short on 40-45 yarders and the backup kickers were making it. Something was definitely wrong with him and I pointed it out to the GF



I have a theory about that. I grew up playing baseball and played a LOT of tournament softball before I became more mature. Along the Gulf Coast the ball doesn't carry like it does in say Atlanta or Birmingham. I really think that was the same thing with Parkey. He just wasn't getting the distance he is used to getting because he was very close to sea level. (I can't remember if he was kicking it through the endzone against LSU. It was a stiff dew/heavy air night that game though)

My buddy was sitting on the 14th row around the 20 behind Auburn's bench and he said that he had a trainer with him most of the night. His back or thigh was hurting him and my buddy said you could see pain on his face when he left the field.

As for who gets drafted, Ford, Prosch, Mason, GRob, Davis will all five get drafted and possibly Clark. Parkey will have a couple free agent offers but he isn't an elite kicker and that is all that gets drafted.

I think Parkey was in Charlotte this weekend for the Panthers playoff game. Maybe he is thinking of being a free agent here in Carolina or maybe he just wanted to see Cam and Lemonier play. If he is a free agent in Charlotte he has his work cut out for him considering the Panthers current kicker.

I don't think Parkey is an NFL kicker IMO. This isn't because of Monday, it's just there are only 32 jobs in the world at that position (from an NFL standpoint).
