Do you guys trust Franks to kick the game winner??? How comfortable are you? I hold my breath EVERY TIME he kicks!
 
I trust him as much as I've trusted any Dolphins' kicker in the last 20 years. The last Dolphins kicker I believed was automatic was Fuad Reveiz.
 
Don't like him, hard to count on him and unfortunately we probably will need to at some point. Let's hope he has a breakout year.
 
Truth be known, it really is pretty tough to feel confident with him, but his problem is not ability, as proven with how he looked in camp, it's psychological, so if he does not get his head on straight, he will be gone very soon. Gase does not seem to me to be someone that keep players that continue to fail at key moments.

Missing last week is very distressing, because the situations are going to become far more brutal in the Future...Huge winds...50+ yarders against big pass-rushing teams... Kicking in horrible fields...new holder... loud stadiums...bitter cold...rain storm/snow storm. He better get his mind straight, because most games are settled in the end with a FG.
 
Depends on the range, defense we are against, weather conditions, how many burritos he ate the night before....

Right now, I trust him until he gives me a reason not to. (Even though the kick was low, I'm not getting on his case for that block in Seattle....unless it happens again.)
 
Oh geeeez...alright guys....

Ryan T is leading a comeback in the fourth quarter and against all odds...bad weather...superior pass rush...horrible field..loud noise..he orchestrated a masterful drive with guts, audibles, pressure in his face, a 4th down conversion...2 4th down conversions...with the use of his legs on some plays to extend the drive and gets us to the 30 yardline with 2 seconds left being down 21-19. (Better?)....field goal to win the game with franks.....???

What other choice is there? He's not horrible.
 
Inside 40 yards I'd trust him. Last week was kinda a fluke. But then again there was that preseason kick that was beyond bad. He's struggling for sure but what else we got? We shouldn't have given up on Dan Carpenter so early.
