    My favorite kick is at 7:58 by Justin Tucker. His 61 yarder is the longest INDOOR field goal ever and it was at sea level. I watched this entire game and Tucker went 6 for 6 and scored all 18 points in the Ravens victory. I do believe it was the best game any kicker has ever had!!

    Tom Dempsey's 63 yd FG. is even more impressive when you find out that he had only half a foot on his kicking foot & had to wear a modified shoe & also he was a straight on kicker, unlike the soccer style kickers today,he didn't have very much run up room to kick the ball. very impressive!!

      When reporters would ask him if he thought it was unfair, he said, "Unfair, eh? How 'bout you try kickin' a 63 yard field goal to win it with 2 seconds left an' yer wearin' a square shoe, oh yeah, and no toes either." Additionally, when an analysis of his kick was carried out by ESPN Sport Science, it was found that his modified shoe had offered him no advantage - in fact, it was found that the smaller contact area could have reduced, not increased, the margin for error.

    I saw Matt Bryant kick that 62 yarder back in 2006 to beat the Eagles 23-21. As a Tampa fan it was great at the time for the Bucs to win one even though at the time the Bucs moved to 2-4 with the win (also beating the Bengals earlier in October). The Bucs would end up finishing 4-12 with a couple more wins over the Redskins and the Browns so that kick was probably the highlight of the season though it also cost the Bucs a couple of slots in the draft order allowing Detroit to grab Calvin Johnson and the Browns to get Tackle great Joe Thomas while the Bucs drafted the late Gaines Adams out of Clemson.... Nice compilation of long kicks. Matt Bryant is still kicking in the NFL nailing them deep up in the ATL. Thanks for posting these.

    I remember listening on WJR radio to the Lions vs Saints game. Dempsey's game winning, record breaking 63 yard field goal was so shocking, nobody thought he'd make it, but he did. It's tough being a lifelong Detroit Lions fan though we had Jason Hanson, one of the most reliable kickers in the game.

    Rob Bironas did have a great game going 8 for 8 which has never been done(NFL record). 6 of them were chip shots averaging 27 yards and he had a 52 and a 43. Heres some more info about Bironas. He had an excellent NFL career, he was married to Terry Bradshaws daughter and unfortunately 6 months after the Tennessee Titans cut him he had a BAC of .21 and died in a car accident. I think Justin Tuckers game was a little better because he went 6 for 6 scoring all of the Ravens points. 3 of the FGs were over 50 yards including the game winner which was 61 yards(NFL record for Indoors).I still get goosebumps watching JTs gamewinner at 7:58!! Readers, lets take a poll: Whose game was better Bironas or Tucker??

  • @rpmfreak9150
    @rpmfreak9150 5 років тому +1

    For those who think that it's not that big of a deal to kick those field goals" just go to your local high school and attempt to kick a 25 yarder" if you can make the 25 yarder just keep backing up 1 yard and only if you can make it on a regular basis from 50 yards will you stand a real chance of trying out for a team, the thing about trying out for a team they will expect you to be able to make it when a big defensive line is rushing to block your kick" but that's not quite the hardest part of it because even if you can make 50 yarders with a rush straight down the middle" they will expect you to be able to make it from almost any angle with a rush straight down the middle.
    I have to say something about Jack Dempsey who held the record for so many years" he had a wooden foot! Now that isn't the same as using your real foot.

  • @markedwards5904
    @markedwards5904 7 років тому +3

    the sad part is the NFL redefining the field by moving the hash marks in line with the goal posts. ever since that stupid change, all field goals are essentially straight ahead shots, also known as 'gimmes' the change destroyed the record books, as accuracy has skyrocketed, lacking the need to kick from an angle, and eliminating the 'one more play 'to locate the kick point, part of the game strategy, at one time. now it is always pretty much a straight kick.
    each of these kicks are impressive by distance, but every one of them is a straight kick, given the widest possible target, whereas, for example, Dempsey's kick was an angle, thus giving him a smaller window to kick through. the new record was straight, and thus a much wider target.
    the ability to kick for distance has always been around. kickoffs would routinely go through the end-zone, from the kicker's 40 yard line. (70 yards) but since the field was changed, the target is wider, and straight ahead. the challenge for the kicker was the angle and the more narrow target. The NFL has made all field goals 'chip shots' shortened the field, and made the game even more boring

    • @qwilliams1539
      @qwilliams1539 7 років тому +3

      It changes the angle at which the ball has to fly through the uprights. While the actual distance between posts never changes, when you change the angle at which you approach it, it changes how much of the target that you can see. It's much easier to look at this scenario in the college game with the hash marks wider than the field goal post at a shorter distances. At the ten yard line, when you are out at the hash marks, you realistically do have smaller target that you see due to the angling compared to if it was straight on. Another way to look at it is similar to target shooting. My friends and I went out shooting, we had a 10 inch target set up about 50 yards out. One of the shells knocked the target backwards at an angle. So now, while the actual size of the target has not changed, due to the target now being at a 40% angle instead of a 90% angle, the target is effectively smaller and harder to hit.

    As a former kicker I can appreciate these! People don't understand how hard this is. There have been a few that were 60ish that went through so far that if they'd attempted it far enough back, they coulda been 70 yards maybe! Its all about the situation and how badly they need one. If you got a good kicker youre better off trying a 65 yarder for the record than a hail mary especially if you got the wind on your side.

    I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to have season tickets for the last 5 or so seasons that the Rams were in St. Louis. During the pre-game warm-ups Greg Zeurlein wanted to see how far he could make a field goal from. He made a 70 and a 72 hit off the crossbar. It was in a dome which means there was no wind going against him, but also none helping him either. After that, St. Louis fans started to call him "Legatron" which is one of the best nicknames in NFL history imo. I wonder how far he could kick in Denver.
