    That's great, we're all pulling for Eddie. Was wondering if he was going to make it in the NFL, for a while. Smack should get some run there.

    I remember he missed a couple of big kicks earlier in his pro career and got cut. I thought that was it and never kept track of him after that. Didn't even know he was still in the league, let alone the most accurate kicker of all time. Good for him.

    He was injured a lot his first few years. He must work hard. That’s a hard circle to stay in if you can’t stay healthy/aren’t reliable. I’m sure it took a lot of fighting to stay in it this long.

    Very cool.

    Side note: of all the things that Mac ever did, the one that probably irks me the most is not letting Eddy try a 60 yd field goal as time was winding down in the first half of a game. Instead, Franks threw a 30 yd pass, and time expired. Over and over again, we heard Eddy could do it. When we had a cost-free opportunity to find out, we chose to just walk to locker room with no points. WTH?!? :mad:

    He'll be on an NFL team in the near future too.

    He honestly hasn’t had a good year period. All this after getting a lucrative extension.
