Viking Scoring Leaders

**PurplePackerEater** · 06-06-2005, 04:41 AM

I was paging around and came across "Vikings Scoring Leaders Year-by-Year from 1961-2002" http://www.purplepride.org/vikes/index.php?name=Content&pid=33

The Viking Scoring Leader almost every year is the Place Kicker. I never put much thought as to how many points a Kicker is credited for, but, it makes me wonder why Tice hasn't taken the position more seriously. Hopefully, one that we have now will step up and be the guy.

:shock: Gary Anderson 164 pts in '98! Wow.

:shock: Chuck Foreman...what a beast! 22 TD. (sorry that I'm surprised, I was an infant)

:scratch: What does the Carter FG #s mean?

Thanks for pointing that Carter mistake out to me - I changed it a little bit - he had 3 2-pt conversions that year...

I picked Elling for your pole question, however, I truly believe that Edinger will win the job, I would like to see Elling get it. Edinger has been around for a few years and has kicked against us twice a year so we know his name well. But the truth is, just because we've heard of him doesn't make him great, or even better than Elling. I really wanted us to sign Edinger last year when we tried, but after his performance last season, I don't want him anymore until I'm convinced that's behind him. And looking at his numbers, it's been for two consecutive years that he's declined tremendously in accuracy. I do think he could be a great kicker for us, but I'm not convinced, and when I'm unsure about both kickers, I say give it to the one who can at least kick off well, and that's Elling.

I didn't know it was a mistake, I was just confused. :wink:

Isn't Dorsche a punter??

BTW, Cortez was already cut, when we signed Edinger.

On NFL.com they have Dorsch listed as a Kicker. :scratch: http://www.nfl.com/teams/rosters/MIN

As for Cortez, someone will look more stupid than me if they vote for him. :grin:
