Brian Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 He had a rough year last season and I was hoping he could comeback strong. Brien is NOT the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I like it. Two straight poor seasons for Edinger. I don't know if Brien is the answer, but I like the two rooks the Bears have in camp plus I've always been a fan of Nick Setta (he's got a hell of a leg).

Credepopsup Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 He had to go. You can't pay $1.2m to a kicker who's been that bad for a season and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Edinger made 68% of his FGs the last 2 seasons.... Any think the bears are actually going to put up a better % than that next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 The Bears currently have 4 kickers on their roster. Brien with 12 years experience, Setta from ND this is his second season and the two rookies Novak from Maryland and Jones from Notre Dame. This should be pretty interesting.

Chisoxfn Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Nick Novak baby. In training camp (and I realize its camp) he's been nailing field goals and has a big time leg for kickoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Oh boy, I really like Nick Setta. I think he has a really good chance to make the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly8509CWS Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Isn't Setta from Lockport? I'm almost positive I saw him play there, big time stud that kid is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotop Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Nick Setta WAS Lockport football when he was there. My high school played his in the playoffs and he hit nearly everything (except for the deep field goal for the win). So he's most defintely a hometown kid. I was able to see him the whole time he was at ND, and he's a great kicker. Accurate and has good range. I'm confident he can be just as good as Edinger was when Edinger was hot. More importantly, he's a great guy and I'm really pulling for him. I lived in the same dorm as Nick for his last two years (he was a senior, I was a freshman), and the guy is really a class act. I really hope he gets the fair shake in all of this, because his talent will speak for itself and he deserves a fair shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Brien will choke. Plus his success rate from outside 40 will be under 25%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really though, I agree with you. But, just maybe a change of scenery may help. He will always be a choker.

Now I know kicker's do move around a long unless your name is Adam Vinateri or David Akers, but that should prove what type of a kicker he is.

The only reason he was released was because the Jets got the best kicker around in Mike Nugent. He is the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Dbaho...IIRC Brien is 10th all time in field goal accuracy. He was very good last season minus that one playoff game. Everyone has bad games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Maybe this is why they cut Edinger... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...ack=1&cset=true Doug Brien converted six of seven field goals and Paul Edinger four of seven in Saturday's morning competition. "We've done this before and we'll just let the competition unfold and see how it takes shape," general manager Jerry Angelo said. Kicking guru Randy Brown, a member of the Philadelphia Eagles' staff (with Toub) and a former Bears assistant who turned Todd Sauerbrun into a Pro Bowl punter, will work with Bears kickers through the weekend.
