TRANSFER Patrick Duffy K
Re: TRANSFER Patrick Duffy K
Thanks Rich,
At the moment I have mixed reactions.
On the upside, I already felt that PK was an area of need for this coming season. Duffy, I believe, is strictly a PK. A lot of the evaluation by now is old so I hope he has increased his leg strength and improved his FG accuracy while at UMass. I don't believe Lehigh has a kicking coach.
On the downside, unless there has been some movement in the roster, there are a bunch of slots currently taken up for the kicking game. As I've said before, most are punter first skillwise.
With that being said, there will be a lot of competition for playing time. Welcome aboard Pat.
Notice I didn't make one Dallas reference. oops.

Don't forget, placekicking is a three-headed monster.
You need a super kicker, which almost doesn't matter if the snap and and/or hold are weak.

Saw some video from Patrick showing recent workouts for Kick coach service. Hit repeatedly from 55 yds.
we used to have a part time Kick coach on staff. He started his own company.
Kick group certainly large Hope we can get a consistent K and a good P

I saw the videos too but I'm not sure what to make of them. They are like a short hi-light film under ideal conditions.
If I recall correctly, he was 7-12 in FG with a long of about 33 in HS. He was accurate in extra points. One kicking service gave him a 4 star which means D-2, D-3 or FCS WO.
UMass doesn't have a kicking coach either but he has continued to train. This should be an interesting competition for PT
