Panther K Harrison Butker - The Buttkicker - Drilling Some Nice Ones At His Workout

Recommended Posts

One highly anticipated training camp battle happens to be against our kickers; Graham Gano and Harrison Butker. The healthy competition should only encourage each kicker to get better and earn their spot on the roster.

Harrison Butker wastes no time getting ready. A rookie drafted in the 7th round, Butker comes out as one of college's better kickers, completely dominating other kickers in the NFL combine. The Panthers hope this guy could be the answer after a very disappointing season from NFL veteran kicker Graham Gano.

At his training facility, Butker works out and posts himself kicking long balls, showing off his accuracy while at it.

In the clip above, watch as Butker nails a 50 yarder as if it were routine. The calm demeanor and manner after which he kicked shows a kicker who is very comfortable with kicks like these. Using his powerful leg, he nails in the ball between the yellow posts.

In the next clip seen above, watch as Butker nails a 55 yarder, once again calmly walking off as if it were routine. Poised and strong, he attacks the ball viciously and with care, ensuring its destination between the two yellow pegs.

In the clip above, watch as Butker nails a 61 yarder. With confidence and dare, Butker vigorously attacks the ball, using every ounce of strength and knowledge he has up to this point. With solid technique and leg strength, he nails the ball, celebrating by throwing both his arms up in the air.

Finally, Butker shows off an exercise he uses to fine-tune his accuracy. By hitting from the side, he works the ball's angle between the two posts. Not very easy to do for any normal kicker, yet Butker makes it look like clockwork.

Don't sleep on Harrison Butker. He was drafted for a reason, and he could very well unseat Gano from his job with the Panthers.

I'd rather see him hit a 50 yarder straight up with the pressure on versus hitting FG's from a sharp angle in a dome by yourself

And how should he practice?  

"Don't kick until the games on the line, son."

You guys are weird.  

Training camp will add pressure and he'll miss some kicks but he's the first K we've ever drafted.  Dudes got a shot.

 

 

anybody else think he resembles Kasay?

Not criticizing him, just saying he can hit all the 60 yarders he wants in a dome but we'll see who he really is when the pressure is on. Kickers hit from 65-70 pre-game but then miss from 50 with the game on the line. Show me something when it really counts.

btw, we cut Gano and we have 3.25 million against the cap, and Butker costs less than a half a mill. 

If Butker wins the battle, that's almost 3 mill more to pay Star/Trai/Great White Buffalo, and we get Butker for 3 more years on a 7th round pick salary.

 

I'm not gonna go Sacca here, but I think I remember Getty saying he liked him because he made kicks in critical situations, and that is a concern on Gano.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
