300 of 457 would get you cut from every NFL team these days. Kickers have become so much more accurate (in large part due to the soccer style kicking which is way more accurate.
He was that season, but I am saying that now most kickers need to hit nearly 90% of their kicks up to 50yds or more to keep their jobs. Kicking accuracy is now unbelievably better than it was back in the 80s
I totally agree. It was much harder to kick back then. My point wasn't to disparage Mark. He was great for his era. Football kicking has changed a ton in the past couple of decades though. The field surfaces are so much better. The domes to kick in. Since 1999 the K-Ball to kick with. The increased training means that most kickers that want to keep their jobs hit about 85% or more of their FGs in the league season, at least those 50 yds or shorter. .
The field conditions today are way better. He finished his career in Cleveland, kicking in that old 1930's Municipal Stadium . Built on land fill. MUD AND SLOP FOR A PLAYING SURFACE. Wind, and bad weather. The kickers today are very good, but they should be. Special kicking balls, and perfect field conditions.
Dude kicked in the swamp of old RFK! And on the road, the hard astroturfs of the Vet, Meadowlands and Big D. Kickers, these days, are more athletic and kick in better turfs and many in nice indoor facilities. 60 yarders are like chip shots!
Don't know if anyone reads these, I would like to get an email or some kind of contact info for Mr. Moseley. I am a straight on kicker and have technical questions that only he and a guy in Canada could answer.
Man I remember those days. Back when Washington was a force to be reckoned with
He could also kick 50+ yard field goals like clockwork.
Mosley was clutch with the game on the line. very Glad to see him come on the field in last seconds situations.
Except in the playoffs against Denver. He was anti-clutch then.
This dude is wearing his Nikes plus the box they came in on his right foot.
He looks like Karate Kid doing “The Crane” kick.
my cousin
I met him
Angie Mueller cool how was he?

Then why was Moseley the most accurate kicker in a league where everyone else was soccer style?

What's the issue? I'm am old school square toe kicker. Happy to help if you're still kicking.
All those accolades, but he still missed 4 Field Goals in the 1983 NFC Championship Game.
I couldn't stand Mosely. He shanked them at the worst times.
