Still remember people getting their panties in a bunch when Folk replaced Feely

FWIW.. I believe Feely made 24 straight FG as a Jet

I remember someone, and I think it was Iggy, on TGG trying to tell everyone about the coach that Folk worked with to improve once his time ended in Dallas.

I'm not going to lie, I liked Feeley, but I wasn't completely "Folk-this!" The guy can kick. Jerry Jones is just a moron.

The part about bringing in competition for him is laughable. I wonder if he just thinks "Yeah, okay. Good luck, buddy" whenever someone shows up to compete with him.

Yep.  I remember that whole thing well.  People were flipping out about Feely, and they didn't want to listen to anything about the way Folk was rushed back to keep his job or the work he had put in since.  The injury had altered his mechanics, but the guy was so on top of it after his surgery.

EDIT:  Spelled Feely like AJ, not Jay.

Yes, but they weren't all in one season.  What really sucks about Folk is that the last time he missed was his last kick of the season in 2012...and it was blocked.  He didn't hook it or push it.  It was freaking blocked.  And it was a 30 yarder, so the guy likely would have made it.  He'd be at 31 consecutive if it hadn't been blocked.

At least he made the PFF Pro Bowl team.

Kicker: Nick Folk (NYJ) and Justin Tucker (BAL)

These two know a thing or two about making game winning kicks.
