January 9, 200521 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Has inconsistency this season caused the Bears to look elsewhere for a kicker for 05-06? More than likely.
January 9, 200521 yr i hope so. something is wrong with him whether its in his head or what i dont know...
January 9, 200521 yr Author I always liked the guy. I hope he can fix whatever is wrong in training camp.
January 9, 200521 yr Toast in my book. Its all between the ears too. On a sidenote the Bears signed Nick Setta and sent him to NFLE. I always thought he had a great leg and could turn into a good NFL kicker.
January 9, 200521 yr Author Setta has had Kaeding disease. He can't kick balls on an angle well... Straight on, he does fine, but to the right or left of the hashmark, the kick goes wide.
January 9, 200521 yr if there going to get rid of ediger pleaseeeeeeeee preety please draft mike nugent
January 9, 200521 yr I think he's gone, the Bears can't continue to pay that sort of money - $1.1 million next year - for a kicker who's had the kind of year he's had.
January 9, 200521 yr The only guy that IMO would be an improvement is NGUG!!!!!!!!! Mike Nugent of the buckeyes. He is a clutch kicker(doesnt feel pressure) has a great leg and overall good accuracy.
January 9, 200521 yr The question is would it be worth it to draft a kicker in the top 3 rounds? Or would you rather give Edinger another chance or sign another kicker? Thats a tough decision. Unless the Bears don't have alot of needs and can afford to draft a kicker that early, I don't know the Bears strengths and weaknesses very well.
January 9, 200521 yr No, not worth a top 3 round pick for sure. Considering they don't have a 3rd, don't pick a K that early.

Was gonna throw this name out there as well. Best kicker in college, easily. Could probably kick 60 yarders.
January 9, 200521 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Has inconsistency this season caused the Bears to look elsewhere for a kicker for 05-06? I defenitely think the Bears could do better than him. He flat out blew ass last season.
January 9, 200521 yr I remember Setta playing for Lockport seeing him nailing field goals from the 50 yard line during warmups.
January 10, 200521 yr Edinger is probably toast. I just don't like the fact that his routine is so much longer and more complex than other kickers. To me it just means that there are more chances of something going wrong during a kick.
January 12, 200521 yr In High School you can kick off a block..... setta did have problems with angles, maybe he can work them out in NFLE. never the less big changes need to be made in the kicker department
