I thought I read in some posts earlier this week that Timchenko will probably get a second chance as the starting kicker again after the experiment with Fry didn't go much better. Whatever the case is, if Timchenko is back to being our starting kicker, I hope he can just erase the early portion of our season out of his mind and just step up and do a decent job for us. Make his extra points, execute the field goals you would expect to be made, and do a good job with his kickoffs. Let's face it, it can't get much worse, right? Or can it???? Here's to having hope!

By me typing right now I am giving all of my hope to Timchenko and to the power of his leg. If he doesn't make any, maybe we can get that guy who made the 50 yarder during the CFL Halftime show.

I saw that kick from the CFL game! Wow. And all we're really asking is for is one of our kickers to hit an extra point, which is basically a 19-yard kick staight on.

although that guy in the CFL game did miss a 20, 30 and 40 yard field goals before he made the 50 yarder.

IIRC, Fry has done pretty damn well with PAT's. The field goals, of course, are another matter, and the "out of bounds kickoff" bug is coming back again. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fry kick PAT's and Timchenko handle field goals and kickoffs. Maybe the coaches are making a correlation between Fry having more duties and his punting woes.

PAT's are a huge part of the kicking game and you need every single one in order to win.

Then if it works for him, maybe we should try moving our kickers back and attempt 50-yard kicks for our PATs.

you know... for a million bucks I'll miss the 20, 30, and 40 yard field goal as well.
