Ficken Clutch

[Farr Be It]

I haven't seen much about our emergency kicker, in the after-math of the Rams disappointing loss to the Falcons. Sam Ficken made every kick he was asked to make, after his initial missed field goal and extra point against the Titans, week 16.

Although there was nothing much beyond 35 yards, his kicks were clutch, and though many waited for the big miss, Sam Ficken's kicks were true.

I am as anxious to get Greg Zuerlein back as anyone on this board, but a well deserved hat's off to Sam Ficken.

I thought about making a post about him also.

He came in and did his job admirably. He should feel good.

Not sure I could honestly use the word "clutch" however.

He definitely tightened it up after those first two misses at Tennessee. He deserves a camp invite at the very least from some team looking for a kicker this offseason. But he also didn't get much of a chance to really prove himself so not sure it'll be enough. It would have been interesting if Higbee actually caught a damn pass in the endzone because Ficken would have had to try an onside kick... that would have been interesting.

Any kick is clutch under the pressure of playoffs. I would love to have seen a long kick, or the onside, as well, but he made the kicks he was asked to make. I'll call it clutch.

Matt Bryant was one clutch SOB that game

He’s probably the Seahawks next kicker.

Happy for him, hope he does well unless he ends up with a division rival.

He did fine. Gets himself a look next year. He now has playoff experience.

Has more playoff points that GZ.

That said I hope Greg recovers and is ready next season

All the best to him. Hope he gets a look in somewhere.
He couldn't have been thrown in any deeper than he was and came on well.

Best of luck to Ficken. He's got a future in the NFL. He won't have to go back to his brokerage firm.
