Kid's got a leg, just wish he was more consistent
I've been a fan since he was at Colorado and thought it was a steal of a draft pick. Then he opened his career in 2007 with a week-one, game-winning long FG to beat Philadelphia.

But since then, he's failed in his final-play big kicks almost every time.

And while he does possess the leg strength to hit em from 60, why are his kickoffs always shorter than the opposing kickers are?

Kick coverage is horrible. I don't know whether that's Crosby's fault, or the scheme but it needs to be fixed, as MM would say.

Which is it?
Let us down more or come though more?

Funny story: So yesterday me and my boy lifted and after a post workout meal (Chicken) we decided to throw the football around... that led into punting... that then led to field goal kicking... On a couple of makes from 35 yards out, we backed up to 40 yards...Since I am half hispanic, I thought kicking the hell out of a ball was in my blood... yeah, not so much... I went to kick the ball and heard a loud pop in my quad area... I stumbled to the ground and checked my quad as I though I had just cramped up (didnt stretch)... the pain was far more intense than a cramp... i could not feel my leg and I couldnt stand up... the pain then shot up to my hip then traveled over to my groin area... I had to be carried to the car by my friend and my wife took me to the ER. The doc said I ruptured my ****** femoris muscle and would need to follow up with an MRI to see if I might need surgery... I am on pain meds to include vicodin... it feels like a donkey kicked me right in my quad... The lesson here is, NO ONE CAN KICK LIKE MASON CROSBY... NOT EVEN YOU!!! :( I will never kick a football again in my life!!!
