He’s averaging almost 49 this year 

Yep.  I was going for the bigger sample to make the point about the FG kicking.  He was mediocre last year and he's been worse than that so far this year.

Maybe we can train someone to catch the snap for him.  Oh, and someone else to pour water over his head while he’s waiting for the ball.

Despite the drop, he's showing more potential as a punter than a place kicker.  Try a new FG kicker.  We need someone who can be consistent. 

I want to see what Sideshow Bert can do.

Dicker is either the best bad FG kicker or the worst good one. Plenty of leg. Feel like he can make any kick. Feel like he’s a threat to miss from anywhere. 
his punting has been great. Good distance and hang time. His ball catching skills... let’s just say I was wondering if he was point shaving for a minute there. 

He has a huge leg - booms punts, kickoffs are always touchbacks, deep range on FGs (that 52 yarder had a solid 10 yards of extra distance on it). He's just not accurate.

I wonder if he's being asked to do much since Buj got hurt. Maybe they need to pick punting or kicking for him, not both (kickoffs don't require much practice so he can still do that). Either get Auburn kicking FGs or get Buj/Pearson punting.

Imo, he has never been a very accurate FG kicker.  He has usually been good in key spots, and definitely has a strong leg.

Did The Kicker fire QB2 from the holding job? Or did Sark do it on his own?

Uh, no. No BJ from Dicker for me. But you do you.

First, I believe your powers of inference are headed in the wrong direction there.

Second, if in fact I could do me, I probably would, but it seems that my length/flexibility ratio has deteriorated to the point that it simply is not possible.

Actually, it kinda is, but the flexibility limitations of aging might affect things to the point of a name change... maybe Tex Stiff?

He's behind Dawson (59), Stockton (58) and Ward (58) on FGs made

He's behind Mangum on extra points (the 208 stat they cite for extra points is attempts not kicks made. Dicker is 205/208.  Mangum leads 208/211

He's behind Dickson in season punting average, 47.43 (2017) and 47.37 (2016).  Dicker also has the 5th and 6th longest punts (78 and 77)

He's tied with Dawson for 5th in field goal accuracy.  

Overall a pretty good career at a school that has a lot of good kickers.

Report out that Dicker filed NFL paperwork earlier this week.  Still has 3 days to change his mind, so it's probably not official yet...

His goodbye. 

 

 

Git to give him credit for getting a real education.  Looks like he was in the business school.

We got anybody good waiting in the wings, or do we just go buy a kicker now? 

Edit - quick check of the roster shows these two dudes.

Gonna have to give Sideshow Bert a shot, that needs to happen

By going 3-of-3 on field goal attempts in UT’s season-ending 22-17 win over Kansas State, Dicker finished his career at Texas with the most field goals made (60), surpassing Phil Dawson’s record of 59 set from 1994-97. Dicker and Dawson are tied for most career field goals attempted (79) at Texas.

With 386 points scored, Dicker leaves UT with the most points scored by a kicker and is No. 3 all-time in points scored behind Ricky Williams (452, 1995-98) and Cedric Benson (404, 2001-04).

Dicker scored 88 points in 2021 by connecting on 13 of 15 field goal attempts (86.7 percent) and 49 of 50 extra points. He would’ve needed 67 points next season to become UT’s all-time leading scorer. Considering Dicker averaged 96.5 points per season in four years at UT, reaching that record would’ve been likely.

I was so tuned out by the end of the year, I missed that he passed Dawson. Pretty solid career. One last "fuck OU" for old time's sake

 

 

Party Bert Auburn- Soph next year

Gabriel Lozano- Jr Tr from Tech

Will Stone- Incoming Fr.

I bet @Hank Scorpio agrees with this. 

Seems weird to leave early as a kicker, but it’s not like he can do much to improve his draft status.

Most kickers aren't drafted, but i guess he has to declare in order to sign as an UFA

True but they’re still evaluated by the scouts.

I kinda figured he might be going as a punter after this year instead of kicker?  This was his only year above 80% in field goal percentage and he only kicked 15 field goals this year, but he averaged 46.8 yards punting this year.

Maybe his positional versatility will help him get and keep a job. I wouldn’t think so as I doubt any team would want to roll the dice on having one guy do both, but maybe it can help if a team has a guy on the shelf or that they are concerned about. 
hardest on field job to nail down in the nfl as there just aren’t a lot of spots and the good ones do it forever.

Was it Carolina that had open tryouts on the field 15 minutes before a game this year because their kicker pulled a hammy in warmups?  There’s some value in knowing you have a punter that can step in and bang home extra points.  I think he’ll make it as a punter.

He was really aided by our inability to score TD's in the red zone.

But he was held back by the Herms propensity to go for it in the red zone. 

Can you be overrated but still really good? I feel like that was Dicker here. 
 

*Fun fact: If it wasn’t for his winning kick in 2019, we would’ve lost to Kansas twice in three years. Both times at home.

Our fucking program blows.  Best of luck to Dicker at the next level.  Who gives a fuck.  G'night.
