Madden NFL 15 - Top Kickers and Punters

[ajblithe20]

This seems to be the most controversial list so far hahaha. Being a homer, I think Donnie "Longball" Jones deserves to be on the list. Really changed 2 games for us this year with a punt.

Gostkowski Not top 5 that's it im not buying this year(somewhere someone is saying this)

As a Skins fan, I can't even be a homer and say our K or P was even close to a 90 overall. I am a big fan of Blair Walsh and Greg Zuerlein though, both have big legs and are really accurate. I'm surprised they didn't, at the very least, tie for 5th. They've been very good in the NFL, fantasy football (where it actually matters how long the FGs are), and Madden for the past few years.

I'd put Tucker over Prater tbh

He doesn't get nearly enough credit for being the 3rd most accurate kicker ever while playing 8 games per year on that terrible Soldier Field playing surface. He has some power too, he can hit them from well over 50 yards out

They should have split the list in to top punters and top kickers rather than sticking them all together

I'll make an argument for Sebastian Janikowski. Last year was an off year for him and most - if not all of that - can be blamed on a new holder and a rookie at that. Yet Janikowski is asked to kick more long field goals than any other kicker, including an insane 76 yard attempt when Kiffin was coaching the Raiders.

Looking at Robbie Gould... since Gould came into the league in 2005, he has attempted 21 FG's of 50 or more yards, in that same time span, Janikowski has attempted 69!!!

He's the only kicker in NFL history to have TWO over 60 yards - 61 at Cleveland in December of 2009, the 27th of Dec. - and a 63 yard FG at Denver in a game Oakland won 23-20.

With more reps with his holder and more experience from his holder, Seabass will have another great year this season. In the four seasons prior to last year, with Shane Lechler as his holder, he put up these numbers:

FGA... FGM... FGA50+... FGM50+... Long
..29......26...........8.............6........61
..41......33...........7.............4........59
..35......31.........10.............7.........63
..34......31...........9.............6........57

Those are pretty amazing numbers and I would definitely place him in the top five. And like I said, he'll bounce back this year and be as good as ever and he'll be asked to kick more from 50+ than anyone else as well.
