I don't think Fick did that bad, actually. Sure his first PAT hooked bad, the missed FG bounced off the upright, then he did fine the rest. TEN had a couple KOR's out to the 30's and one longer one to mid-field, but that's on our full ST's team - I think on that kick, Fick sent it past the goal line. It's not impossible that TEN actually has a decent ST's unit, they corralled Pharaoh pretty well.
Consider too that this is basically Fick's pre-season. He had maybe a few days practicing w/ McQuaide & Hekk. Kicking in a hostile environment, in bad weather, with a hell-bent-for-a-win TEN team throwing everything they can at you.... I think the kid did pretty good actually. I have no idea why you guys say he looked shaky. Kicking in LA will help him get stronger. If we have a game where it all comes down to a last second FG attempt, and he misses, it'll be because we're down by 3 - that's on the rest of the team not to put him in that position. Great if he makes it. If he doesn't?? you know what, our kicker was IR'd in game #15. Would you rather have lost Legatron, or Goff? or Gurley? I'd rather lose Legatron than Whitworth. PHI lost their MVP quarterback for cryin out loud. So did HOU earlier this season. We're lucky to have Fick as our kicker & not Shaun Hill as our QB. I think he'll do fine - I can tell he wants it more than Aguayo or any of the other guys available. Sometimes if you just get the right guy, in time, he'll get stronger.
