Agreed, Wingert has the leg to connect from 60 consistently. But it is a low percentage kick no matter who is kicking it. Miss it and you give up great field position. You probably won't see Farley attempt something like that unless it as at the end of a half. Not that he doesn't have the faith in Brian its just that it is low percentage. It could potentially change the game.

It wasn't going "up" through the uprights...but it did fly into the net with some pretty good force still on it. I'm not a physicist...so I won't do more than guess...but I said immediately..."that would have been good from 60"."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."

I agree that this situation only happens every so often. The only way i think farley would let a long field goal like that happen is at the end of a half with very little time left and or if it were tied with few seconds left in the game. Totally agree with you there jeg.

I was standing behind the uprights and this kick would've been good from easily 60. Split right between the pipes. I'm happy for Brian, that was a great kick and I'm glad to see him make one like that. But i was disappointed with the overall game Saturday. I'd much rather be talking about a 56-yarder and a W.

I'll bet the Redskins would've liked to have Wingert on their roster tonight. Did you see that toe-hooked 47 yarder that John Hall offered up with 15 seconds left against the Vikes?
Next year at this time we'll be debating if Wingert's 50 yarder on Monday night would have been good from 60.Winning is more fun than losing.

It was a great kick and it was good from 60+ for sure. He's got to be towards the top of the Groza award list don't ya think? We're gonna win lot's of games because of this kid.Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."
