Author Topic: Tim Masthay invited to Green Bay catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 01-13-2010 05:35 PM                     He has a heck of a leg and has a chance to make it big time in the NFL.. He has been asked to come to train with the team, and compete with the other punters in an attempt to kick one of them off the team (pun fully intended and most certainly apologized for.) Tim’s Senior Year he averaged 45.2 yards per punt, and about a million yards per kick off. The seated punter for the Packers is currently averaging only 43.8. Breaking into the NFL as a punter or kicker can be a tough job to accomplish. The fact of the matter is, there area a lot of skilled players coming out of college, and come draft day, teams are more focused on Offense or Defense. Regardless, Masthay has proven himself to be a solidly great at his position, and has weapons he can add outside of his leg strength. Add to that his speed and athleticism, which allowed for him to make timely tackles even in the SEC, and he has to look enticing to many NFL teams. And of course, who could forget his clutch play in the Music City Bowl?

He will be missed. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Blue Hillbilly Player Member # 193 posted 01-14-2010 07:59 AM                    I wish him well. His kicking helped Kentucky win quite a few games.

Kicking is one of the most important parts of a game and it seems like it's never talked about. You seldom here anything during recruting either about a kicker... -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 01-16-2010 07:56 AM                     Masthay will end up on a NFL team somewhere..He is that good. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged ukcatfannfl Player Member # 1425 posted 01-16-2010 08:59 AM                     Bruce - I cant remember his name but we are getting the best kicker out of Ga (I think). Maybe from our factory at Lagrange? Anyway he is a good one according to all reports. -------------------- ukcatfannfl Posts: 8771 | From: Inverness, FL | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 01-16-2010 09:03 AM                     Ed, that is great news as kickers are hard to come by especially to get a real good one. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 01-16-2010 09:08 AM                     Ed, you were right and here is a story on the kicker we signed. After reading the story it came back to me. He** to get old.. LaGrange (Ga.) kicker/punter Joe Mansour gave the UK coaching staff his verbal pledge on Monday night, according to LaGrange Coach Steve Pardue. The 6-foot-2, 181-pound Mansour recently attended camp at LSU and also attracted interest from Florida. Pardue said Kentucky offered Mansour a scholarship after he put in an impressive performance at UK's camp last month. "He hit a 52-yard field goal off the ground, and he was impressive in kickoffs and on punts," Pardue said. "Joe's also a tremendous athlete. He ran a 4.44 and 4.48 (40-yard dash) at camps this summer." Kentucky will lose its No. 1 placekicker, Lones Seiber, to graduation following the 2009 season. UK has one other scholarship kicker, sophomore Ryan Tydlacka, who's expected to focus on punting this fall. Pardue said Kentucky will give Mansour a look as both a placekicker and punter. "I think that's the best about him," Pardue said. "He can do both."
