18 Jan 10 Disappointing Day for San Diego Chargers’ Nate Kaeding

I was at the game yesterday and it was terrible to watch, especially as a kicking coach. Nate Kaeding solidified himself as the most accurate kicker in the History of the NFL and has booted over 50 consecutive field goals inside 40 yards (up until yesterday’s loss) versus the New York Jets.

Nate, who was always a sure thing, missed 3 key field goals yesterday at Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego CA. As a kicker you have to have thick skin and be able to move on from a poor performance. I think this is going to haunt him for a long time. As a kicker, I feel bad that he couldn’t come through and know the frustration, loneliness, and sad feelings he is dealing with now. I am a bit concerned about his future with the Chargers. Although he has been Mr. Clutch during the regular season; if you look at his stats in playoff games, they are quite poor.

I wish Nate Kaeding the best and I hope things work out for him. As a Chargers fan and San Diego resident, this weekend has been a disappointment. But what else can you say except, let’s ‘get ‘em next year!’ GO Chargers!

21 Feb 09 USC Kicker David Buehler bench presses 25 reps in 2009 NFL Scouting Combine

Last night, David Buehler, former USC Kicker threw up an impressive 25 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.  As a kicker, Buehler didn’t need to do the bench press competition, but the fact that he was able to press so much weight so many times shows how tough of a kicker he is.  He is certainly not the prototypical looking placekicker, but he gets the ball in the end zone everytime and should be a high pick in the NFL draft this year for whoever needs  a strong kicker who can be consistent on kickoffs and make those game saving tackles. Check out the video of David Buehler bench pressing!
