Alumi Make - Top 10 List: Two-Year UFL Players
From the UFL Website Story:
In just two seasons, the United Football League has developed a core group of players who are recognizable with their teams thanks to their performances in both the 2009 and 2010 campaigns.

8. Dan Baugher, Arizona Pro Punter
FREE AGENT PROSPECT
Las Vegas Locomotives. Easily the best punter in the UFL’s brief history, Baugher has averaged 44.2 yards per punt and has landed 21 punts inside the 20-yard line.

FREE AGENT PROSPECT
10. LS - Matt Overton, W. Washington - Pro Long Snapper 07
Omaha Nighthawks. I can’t remember a bad snap for the Tuskers in 2009 or the Nighthawks in 2010, and that is a severely underrated aspect of football at any level.

GAME STORY:
OMAHA, Neb. – The Las Vegas Locomotives and Florida Tuskers are turning dramatic finishes in the United Football League Championship Game into a regular occurrence.

Las Vegas defensive lineman Alfred Malone blocked Nick Novak's 45-yard field goal as time expired to give the Locos their second straight UFL championship with a 23-20 win at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.

A year after the Locos spoiled the Tuskers' unbeaten season with a 20-17 overtime win in the Championship, the two teams delivered another classic finish in front of a crowd of 15,310 fans. Championship Game Most Valuable Player Chase Clement threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns as Las Vegas rallied from deficits of 7-0 and 10-7 in the first half.

“I'm very proud of our guys - extremely proud,” Las Vegas Coach Jim Fassel said. “This team's always been resilient and tough.

“I think anybody who snuck into this game probably paid on the way out.”

Florida quarterback Chris Greisen completed 24 of 42 passes for 346 yards and put the Tuskers in position to send the title game to overtime for the second straight year with a last-minute drive. After the Tuskers took over at their own 10-yard line with 1:47 to play, Greisen completed six passes including a 23-yard strike to Cortez Hankton that gave Florida a first down at the Las Vegas 22.

After a pair of incompletions, Novak lined up for a 40-yard field goal with six seconds to play, but Florida received a critical delay of game penalty, pushing the attempt back five yards. Malone got a strong push through the line and got his right hand on the kick, setting off a wild celebration on the Locos' sideline.

“On the first couple field goals they kicked, I felt one of them scraped my hand,” Malone said. “It was a team effort on the block, I was the one who got the hand on it. It was a great feeling when I felt it.

“When they got a delay of game and it pushed them back 5 yards, I knew the ball would come out with an even lower trajectory.”

Novak had kicked a pair of 22-yard field goals earlier in the game and had made a UFL-best 17 field goals this season. The game-ender was just his fourth miss of the season.

“We were hoping, ‘Block it, block it, block it,” Locos wide receiver Tab Perry said. “He had kicked a low one earlier today. We just got a great push and blocked it. We rushed the field. Champions.”

It was the final big play from a Las Vegas defense that, despite allowing 468 total yards, managed to find a way to keep the Tuskers out of the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Las Vegas took a 21-17 lead into the fourth quarter on back-up running back Hakim Hill's 37-yard touchdown run with 5:53 to play in the third. But just when it looked like Florida had an answer, the Locos' defense stiffened.

Greisen found Maurice Hicks for 36 yards on a screen pass to give the Tuskers a 1st-and-goal at the 4, but the Locos held on three straight plays, forcing Novak's 22-yard field goal to pull
Florida within 21-20 with 7:48 to play.

Then, disaster struck for the Tuskers on their next drive. After the Locos went three-and-out, Florida started at its own 14-yard line. On the Tuskers' first play, Greisen couldn't corral a shotgun snap and was tackled in the end zone for a safety by Josh Cooper with 5:42 to play.

The Locos led 14-10 after a first half that turned into a quarterback duel between a pair of starters that were considered afterthoughts at the start of the season. Clement, in just his third game replacing the injured Tim Rattay, threw for a pair of touchdowns, including a 75-yard score to Andrae Thurman on Las Vegas' second play from scrimmage.

Greisen, a former Arena Football League star that replaced Brooks Bollinger at midseason, ran for both of Florida's touchdowns on the ground and completed passes to 10 different receivers.

“He played great,” Florida Coach Jay Gruden said. “He had two touchdowns rushing, scrambled, made plays with his arm.

"Overall, it was a heck of game. We knew it would be. Every yard we got, we earned.

The chilly, 35-degree kickoff temperature didn't keep Greisen from getting the Tuskers out to a hot start with a 12-play, 84-yard march on the game's first possession. Greisen connected with John Standeford for 29 yards on 3rd-and-9 early in the drive before capping it himself with a five-yard touchdown scramble to give Florida a quick 7-0 lead.

But Las Vegas found an answer just seconds later when Clement rolled to his right and found a wide-open Thurman behind the Tuskers' defense to tie the game 7-7.

“It's one of those plays, when you see a guy that wide open, it's the longest three seconds,” Clement said.

Florida regained the lead on its next drive thanks to a pair of big third-down conversions. Greisen found Standeford for 20 yards to midfield on 3rd-and-7, then running back Dominic Rhodes took a shovel pass to the Locos' 10 on another 3rd-and-7 to set up Nick Novak's 22-yard field goal that put the Tuskers up 10-7 with 3:06 left in the first quarter.

Both defenses regained control in the second quarter until Clement put together Las Vegas' first sustained drive of the game. Clement converted three third downs, including one on a 19-yard scramble, before capping the drive with a 30-yard touchdown pass to tight end George Wrighster to give the Locos their first lead of the game with 5:56 to play in the second quarter.

The Tuskers retook the lead on their first drive of the second half on Greisen's second touchdown run of the game – a 2-yard scramble – but again Vegas had a quick answer. Back-up running back Hakim Hill capped a five-play drive with a 37-yard touchdown run to put the Locos up 21-17 with 5:53 left in the third quarter.

It was another big play in a championship game defined by them.

“I’m so proud of these guys,” Fassel said. “They battled and battled.”

TECHNIQUE OR MENTAL STRATEGY?

2010-11-25T11:17:00.000-08:00

TODAY'S MINDGAME by
Paul Assad AKA "The Kick Doctor" is the Director of Pro College Football. ______________________________________

Well, while most of you know me from developing the Techniques used widely by many of the premier Specialist at the Professional (NFL, UFL, AFL, CFL), Collegiate and Elite Preps in football, I think it's worth visiting this topic.

I've been somewhat quiet with the traveling and full time training this year in part, because I wanted to spend this year learning new things that would help me become a better coach and frankly, I needed a break from the road.

After much thought, I felt the path best to follow would mirror a sport or skill with like movement patterns and mindset and of course, this has to be golf and studied the relationship to kicking, punting and even deep snapping.

"The Perfect Swing is the one you Trust" and there are Golfers and then there are PLAYERS - Dr. Glen Albaugh, Author of Winning the Battle Within and former U. of Pacific Golf Coach 30 years.

So, I bring up the discussion: TECHNIQUE OR MENTAL STRATEGIES?

Well, we know that technique is important to the ability to achieving performance results that improve time and distance and they reduce injury probability if you have a hitch. We also, know that we need to rise to the occasion of the moment. It seems to make sense and what I hope is that we can improve both our Technique and then form Mental Approach to practice and games that suites you.

Please, message me on facebook or email kickdoctor@gmail.com if you would like to visit further on recommended readings and / or setting up an evaluation of your today-technique and approach to practice and the game.

All the Best,

Paul Assad

AKA "The Kick Doctor" is the Director of Pro College Football.

RECENT WORKS OF INSPIRATION:

In addition, to enrolling in the PGA Apprentice program, I studied the 1 piece takeaway and learned as much about golf swings as I could. I continue to learn from former European Tour and current, PGA Teaching Professional Shane Balfour. I attempt to learn and play with many of the best in the area this so far, has included guys that have great technique and play at the college entry level professional level and some current professional level players. It also, includes players that I would say don't have nearly, as efficient swings, but they know how to score.(This also, interest me).

I also, volunteered - Coached local High School Golf and the works of Sports Coaches and Psychologist I listed:

MENTAL ASPECTS - FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT

2009-12-11T19:50:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Pro College Football Player & Team Services.

FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT
How To Reduce Anxiety Before Any Kick, Kick Off, Punt or Long Snap
Paul Assad on December 11, 2009

Here’s a great way to reduce anxiety before any attempt.

Act as if!

Act as if you’re someone else - Fake it (For Now). If you’re on an field and you feel anxious, act as if you were Mason Crosby (Green Bay Packers NFL Record Setting Kicker) and about to Kick Off and you have it in your mind now you are going kick a touch-back.

If you’ve got to hit a game winning kick and you feel nervous, act as if you are Adam Vinatieri (Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Game Winning Kicker) and there's "No Question" that this field goal is going thru the sticks with authority because you now have the confidence and swagger to be smooth and execute. If you are backed up into your end zone need to hit a real punt with the full rush coming at you, then think and act as if you are Mike Scifres (Chargers All Pro Punter) and think you are going to launch a 65 yard bomb.

If you need to get that Deep Snap perfect and you are concerned about the outcome - think and act as if you are David Binn, San Diego Chargers Deep Snapper and just let it go "Perfectly".

You can have some fun with these. You can "Think" and "Act" as if you are playing like someone else essentially "FAKING IT". Pick whichever players you like.

Hey, football is only a game, so make it fun. You might be surprised how well you can do playing these fun games absent of worry.. Just let go for a practice or a game or two and play around with this acting thing. You may not win an “Oscar” but you sure will have some fun, one of the reasons you play and hey, what if on this journey it works enough times that you develop your own confidence? Then you would have "Faked it - til you Made it".

So again, just a fun distraction, go out there and “act as if” you are someone else for each time you are out there or even in your mind Act as though you’re confident. Act as though you are a great player going out there with more confidence, less anxiety and having more fun.

I'd love to hear how this works for you. Write me back after you've tried it.

Good luck.
Paul Assad

PRO COLLEGE FOOTBALL PRESENTS THIS SPECIAL INSIDER ON THE SPECIALIST FREE AGENCY WalterFootball.com reports free agency signings and perspectives:

2010 NFL Free Agents - Kickers:

* PRO COLLEGE FOOTBALL NFL ALUMNI

Sebastian Janikowski, Florida State - Oakland Raiders
Age: 32.
Re-signed with Raiders (4 years, $16 million)

Sebastian Janikowski nailed 24-of-27 field goal attempts in 2009, including a whopping 6-of-8 from 50-plus. Kind of makes you wonder how all of those teams in the first round passed on him before he fell to Al Davis.
Jeff Reed, K, Steelers. Age: 31.
Re-signed with Steelers (1 year, $2.8 million)

Jeff Reed has failed to hit at least 82.8 percent of his field goals only once since 2004. This is really impressive considering that he's kicking at Heinz Field, one of the toughest kicking venues in the NFL.
Neil Rackers, K, Cardinals. Age: 34.
Signed with Texans (2 years, $4.1 million)

Neil Rackers missed a big kick in the playoffs, but he's 41-of-45 the past two seasons, He's one of the top place-kickers in the NFL.
Dan Carpenter (ERFA), K, Dolphins. Age: 24.
Voted to the Pro Bowl, thanks to a 24-of-27 season. Dan Carpenter is 2-of-3 from 50-plus in his career.
Stephen Gostkowski (RFA), K, Patriots. Age: 26.
Re-signed with Patriots (1 year, $1.7 million)

Stephen Gostkowski had a down year, hitting "just" 24-of-29 field goals. He's 3-of-4 beyond 50 in his career.
Jay Feely, K, Jets. Age: 34.
Signed with Cardinals (2 years)

Jay Feely was 27-of-33 in 2009 and has hit 4-of-4 in his last 50-yarders in the regular season, but missed two kicks in the AFC Championship.
Olindo Mare, K, Seahawks. Age: 37.
Re-signed with Seahawks (1 year, $2.8 million)

Remember when Olindo Mare missed two field goals against the Bears, and Jim Mora Jr. spazzed out after the game and blamed Mare for everything, including world hunger? Those were the only two kicks Mare missed all year; he was 22-of-24 on the season. Ah, Mora, I'll miss your complete ineptness. Hopefully some other NFL organization will hire you soon so you can ruin yet another franchise.
Matt Prater (ERFA), K, Broncos. Age: 24.
Re-signed with Broncos

Matt Prater hit 29-of-34 field goals in 2009. He's 7-of-9 from 50-plus in his career, though the thin Denver air might have something to do with that.
* PRO COLLEGE FOOTBALL NFL ALUMNI
Garrett Hartley, NFL Free Agent Age: 24.
The Hartley House is 21-of-23 on field goal attempts in his career. He was 8-of-10 this year, but of course hit that big Super Bowl-clincher against the Vikings in overtime.

Nick Folk, K, Cowboys. Age: 25.
Signed with Jets

I love how kickers aren't allowed to have a bad streak of games, yet players at other positions are. Folk was 26-of-31 in 2007 and 20-of-22 in 2008. In his career, he's 5-of-9 from 50-plus. He's a really good kicker who's just going through a mental slump.

Shaun Suisham (RFA), K, Cowboys. Age: 29.
Shaun Suisham had a career year in 2009, knocking in 19-of-22 field goals. However, he's just 3-of-8 from 50-plus in his career.

Billy Cundiff, Ravens Age: 30.
Re-signed with Ravens (1 year, $1.1 million)

Billy Cundiff hit 18-of-21 field goals in 2009. Prior to that, his best season was a 23-of-29 effort in 2003. This season marked the first time he ever hit 80 percent of his kicks.

Jason Elam, K, Falcons. Age: 40.
He's done. Jason Elam missed four field goals within 40 yards this year.

Mike Nugent, K, Cardinals. Age: 28.
Signed with Bengals (2 years)

Mike Nugent was drafted in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft because of his strong leg. Oops. In his career, Nugent is just 3-of-9 from 50-plus.

Mike Vanderjagt, K, None. Age: 40.

Martin Gramatica, K, Saints. Age: 34.

2010 NFL Free Agents - Punters:

Sam Koch, P, Ravens. Age: 28.
Tendered by Ravens (2nd round)

Sam Koch maintained a punting average of 43.7 in 2009. That doesn't sound too good until you notice that he hit 26-of-73 attempts inside the 20.

Daniel Sepulveda, P, Steelers. Age: 26.
Re-signed with Steelers (1 year, $1.1 million)

Daniel Sepulveda averaged 42.7 yards per punt in 2009 while hitting 29-of-72 attempts inside the 20.

Jeff "Philadelphia" Feagles, P, Giants. Age: 44.
Re-signed with Giants

Jeff Feagles is the master of directional punting, hitting 23-of-64 attempts inside the 20. Feagles could probably play until he's 50.

Craig Hentrich, P, Titans. Age: 39.

Michael Koenen, P, Falcons. Age: 28. -- Re-signed with Falcons (1 year, $2.7 million)

Josh Bidwell, P, Buccaneers. Age: 34. -- Signed with Redskins

Glenn Pakulak, Saints Punter Q / A

2008-12-19T15:13:00.000-08:00

PAKULAK ENJOYING IT

He joins Pro College Football's Paul Assad for some q/a:

Glenn Pakulak, New Orleans Punter and holder on placement kicks, let all his past frustrations out on his first punt for the New Orleans Saints.

The Lapeer, MI native was signed by the Saints on Oct. 29 and started by booming a 56-yarder against the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 9.

So far, the 28-year-old has gotten off to hot start. Heading into this week against Detroit Pakulak has 21 punts with an average of 46.7, a long punt of 70 and 3 punts inside the opponent 20 yard line including a 52 yarder OB at the 1 yard line.em>Even with the all the disappointment, he never thought about throwing in the towel on his NFL dream.

________________________

Q & A
________________________
PAUL –Congrats on this seasons success thus far. So hey, being from the "motor city" area, you are going home this week to play Detroit - Fun Stuff or Nervous?

GLENN - I am really excited for the fact that everyone who has believed in me and helped me get to where I am now, especially my family and my closest friends will be able to go to the game. I hope with them seeing me out there playing will give them some sort of satisfaction. The same satisfaction that I get from trying to perform my best for them.

PAUL - You are among league leaders at this point. Knowing your background and having much familiarity with your punting and process, your success doesn't surprise me. Can you talk about your college background and coaches and having so much NFL pre season experience.. do you feel like a "vet" and perhaps, able to offer advice to players like Saints rookie kicker, Garrett Hartley who's hot - 12 for 12 so far.

GLENN – It's been quite a long road. Being with 7 different teams and numerous other workouts plus going to Europe twice, I certainly don't feel like a first year punter. My college special teams coach Mark Nelson went to Baylor where he coached now Pittsburg Steeler punter Daniel Sepulvida. Now he is coaching at Louisville. Although being with so many different teams was difficult it allowed me to make many life long friends so I am very fortunate for that.

Sometimes I forget that Garrett is only 22!! I told him to just take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that he received so early in his career, I wasn't that lucky but I would do it all over again!

PAUL – Any words of wisdom for young players coming out of high schoool or college willing to listen?

GLENN - The only thing I can tell these young guys out there is to KEEP working! If you think you got enough work in on your skills for the week then you probably need to double it. There are many skills you can work on besides actully kicking or punting the ball that can make you a more solid and consistant player. The main difference from level to level is the speed of the game, the focus you need to maintain and the less room for error that a coach is going to allow. It is your job now to perform.

PAUL - I come across many players who I would say either don't have a gage on what "good" really is or have over inflated opinions of their current abilties until they are sobered by the level of competition at the pro level. How would summarize your path and optimism that allowed you to hang tight til you landed your spot?

GLENN - Don't ever think you are too good! There are only 32 punting and 32 kicking jobs in the world, so sometimes it takes awhile to find where you fit in reguardless of how good you are. It took me six very LONG years and I just now am being blessed with my first opportunity!

If you believe in yourself and you continue to work hard and tell yourself that you will find a way as well as do everything thing possible to succeed then I honestly believe you will. And hey if you dont..... well you will never have to live with the regret of not giving it all that you had and that is success in itself.

ASSAD FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP

2008-10-27T19:41:00.000-07:00

A Life of Lessons for a Coach -
With No Money and working as a DJ part time - He Started Pro College Football in the back room of his Fathers House & Never imagined it would become so successful!

Assad, who lost his father Sami to illness last April knows this spring will be emotional for him. "That's when our NFL-College Player Camp and Showcase Events take place and I'll forever, be thinking about the Courage of my Father and the energy I draw from pride.

I had players here training during the afternoons for hours then I spent the rest of day and night it seemed at the hospital". This went on for almost 20 days. I already, knew the prognosis of what was going to happen with my Dad. He wasn't going to make it and I was going to have to make a very difficult decision soon and I knew he wanted to be together and we were both scared of what was about to be a reality.

"He could barely speak but the day before the event he said that I absolutely was to go up to Reno and have the camp and to help the guys and that he would wait for me....-He would wait for me - Afterall, he watched me start this dream and was always behind me every step of the way even when things were tough. That's when you really need someone.

I have to admit it chokes me up to think about it and I get teary eyed but it makes me proud too. By his nature he admired people but was never nervous or afraid to be himself. He would say anything - anytime. Like the time when Assad was the key-note speaker for the Boy and Girls Club Fundraiser. "He was the proud father that night. It made me feel good to give him something like that. Then he had an episode with the Mayor about his dis-stain for the local golf courses and I thought, oh boy, this guy's too much. But the lessons of life and great experiences of being around college and NFL football have taught be to appreciate his candor and other things he was trying to help me with I didn't understand before. In my youth, I was sometimes a No-it-All. Life teaches you lessons, I laugh at some of the things I was so wrong about now. I'm trying to use the lessons he taught me in my everyday life.

Assad is seen here prepping some the NFL Coaches at his NFL Showcase Camps. Seen here is Al Everest, 49ers, John Harbough, now Ravens Head Coach, Russ Purnell, Colts and other NFL Team Coaches.

I didn't tell the coaches or too many people about it but a few of the guys and friends knew what was going on during that time and they were very understanding. We had some problems with fields and scheduling for the event but it turned out and the guys did well". I could have done better with the event I know - I was also lost, it was tough to think straight let alone have these camps. I lost him the day after I got back. This year I have vowed to make all the camps our best ever so I'm geared up already, and it's going to be exciting for me because I have some great free agents that are coming along and Draft Eligible students that are already, getting the All Star Game bids and considered to be the top ranked specialist at all 3 kicker, punter and top long snapper.

So this week Assad is cleaning out his garage so full of both he and his fathers things, he can't even park in it til today. "It's time, I have been trying to give things to family to remember him by. I found all these old pictures and it just has me thinking about how I started this whole deal in the back room of Dad's house - spending endless hours everyday trying to launch something I believed in" says Assad.

Assad, a former player, who tried out with many teams including the opportunity kick unsigned in camp for the Raiders, Cardinals, Chargers. He then became the Director of Scout Camp Pro Football Regional Combines Kicking, Punting and Long Snapping Scouting and San Jose Sabercats Arena Football Team Kicking Coach.

"I was doing everything I could to get better as a Coach and build something that could help players. I felt there were opportunities to offer more on a personal level as a Coach and improve the exposure opportunities available to specialist in person and online."

I first started teaching kicking only, partnered with former NFL Punter Joe Prokop more then a decade ago. Assad went solo a few years later and started offering Punting and Long Snapping instruction. "Things were thin back then, it was something I just had to do I felt. The good part is the situation got me thinking about what I knew and how I could apply movement principals I learned in school to the position skills".

Pro College Football started slow but over the years has grown dramatically one could say with more then 950 players in it's current network offering NFL-College Development and Showcase Events & the signature Kickers Paradise Camps where instead of offering a typical 2-3 day instructional camp, Kickers Paradise offered 7-21 days of off season camp. The camps have been widely popular.

Pro College Football typically draws college and pro level players because of the expertise but some high school players too that are now playing college football and some now in the NFL like Adam Podlesh, Jaguars and the NFL's first specialist drafted in 07 and Mason Crosby, drafted in the 7th Round and was the NFL's Leading Scorer in 07. Actually more then 100 players from the program have signed pro contracts, with more then 20 starters of the last decade on 53 man rosters include some of the biggest names in football like Raiders first round pick Sebastian Janikowski who's game winning 57 yard field goal last weekend against the Jets set a franchise record.

"I was at the game also watching and meeting with client Reggie Hodges, the Jets new Punter. It's exciting to see how good players are getting these days".

Other success stories come from different backgrounds. Brian Moorman, a free agent from Pittsburgh State, KS is currently the Bills All Time Punter and has two Pro Bowls under his belt. Mike Scrifres, Chargers Punter is on his way to becoming the NFL's All Time Punting Leader this year. Matt Bryant kicked a 62 yard game winner last year for the Buc's - they now have Matt Bryant Day.

THE TRAVELING COACH - WHAT'S NEXT?
Assad travels the country almost weekly to college and visiting NFL clients it seems. We get in our work early in the week usually and sometimes I can get to multiple facilities the same week and stay for the game. It's something I do as a collaboration with the team's Coaches because we have the same goal it's hardly ever a problem and in most cases I train the player during the off season so they see it as maintence check ups. But the traveling is getting to Assad he says. He also, has some interesting ideas for the future that include a new website that offers better exposure and will offer video downloads of events and instruction and perhaps, live virtual instruction in the future and that might be the alternative to traveling so much. "I have business and property obiligations in CA so the older I get, I'm trying to think and plan for that.

But for now Assad is still living in the central valley, CA and when not traveling, he has players flying in weekly as well as living here training in hopes for their shot at the next level. "We will continue to grow our network that exceeds 950 players nationally now, work to improve the NFL-College Football Spring and Summer Camp Events and keep improving the quality of Private Player Development System". Assad, currently employs a system he designed he calls A.S.A.P. - Assessment - Solution - Anchor - Plan - "It seems to help players referencing when I'm systematic and consistent with the Instruction and problem solving. I'm always looking for ways to improve student comprehension and speeding up the rate of success. I learned from great coaches on my way that success starts with a solid foundation we can always get back to the basics of.

"My life is so much different now that my dad's gone. The loss is tough for me but I'm doing my best. Being busy helps greatly for now but sometimes, I get tired or down like everyone. That's when I try to take my Coaching advice. When I feel that way, I tell myself this great quote I heard - "Life's an occasion.......Try to Rise to it".

PRO COLLEGE FOOTBALL - ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT - REGGIE HODGES SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

2008-06-04T15:58:00.000-07:00

Reggie Hodges Focused on Training Camp
By Mike KahnSeahawks Insider
The key for Reggie Hodges to block everything else out, and then put into motion the tools of the trade … catch, drop, swing, kick.

Nothing else matters.

He can’t be concerned about when incumbent punter Ryan Plackemeier will begin participating in training camp for the Seattle Seahawks when his torn pectoral muscle is sufficiently healed. It doesn’t matter that the Seahawks drafted Plackemeier in 2006 and he’s a record-breaking NCAA punter.

That’s not the issue for Hodges … catch, drop, swing, kick.
“I’m working hard at it,” Hodges said. “I don’t get into anything that’s going on outside of punting the football. Right now, all I’m focused on is striking the ball. If I do what I do the right away, the doors will open.”

The doors have been opening and closing for Hodges since he was the sixth round draft choice of the St. Louis Rams in 2005 out of Ball State. He punted in five games for the Rams in 2005, and then was released. The Eagles picked him up and he kicked three more games for them before they let him go as well. He had another shot in Philly in training camp the following season, but he was gone after the first week of August.

The Indianapolis Colts signed him in 2006 and 2007, but he was unable to dislodge Hunter Smith as the Colts either year, so he had to find a job and continue to work on his punting in the process. But things did change after the 2007 preseason when he was contacted by Paul Assad; better know as the “Kick Doctor,” around football types. He specializes in punting, kicking and long-snapping.

On his Web Site, Assad says in part, “I know that a few tenths of a second, a little more consistency and being able to problem solve can often mean the difference of a College Scholarship worth upwards to 180 thousand dollars or an NFL success that translates into multimillions in earnings.”

Assad was working with another kicker on the Colts and had watched Hodges. Once he was released, Assad gave him a call and they worked together during the 2007 season and beyond.
“I met him at the (2005) Combine, he’s been around,” Assad said. “He called and wanted to clean me up. He saw some things that he thought he could clean up, so he called me and we worked together on it. I’m coachable, I listened and it helped. (last year)
“I’m much more consistent now. He cleaned up my swing at the ball, he helped me get rid of some things technically that I was doing wrong. I’m not extending so much energy going after the ball as I used to, so I’m able to kick the ball much more easily. I’m a lot more under control now.”

That was more than slightly apparent on Sunday morning, chasing Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram and Seneca Wallace backward with towering, deep spirals during special teams drills. His performance clearly created a buzz among everyone present. And this came a couple days after coach Mike Holmgren noted that Hodges is proving to be a fine punter in Plackemeier’s absence.

“In fact, Hodges is a good punter,” Holmgren said. “So he’s going to be doing all the punting for right now.”

Hodges appreciates all the accolades, but also knows better. There was minicamp and we’re just three days into training camp. It’s a situation he’s experienced before, and there’s a long way to go with the specter of Plackemeier’s return in the coming weeks.

“The key is to do all the mechanic work before you get here,” Hodges said. “Once you get here, you don’t worry about that and you just let your talent take over. I got into a nice rhythm and it was a good day today. But I know it’s just one day.”

No time to lose focus now … catch, drop, swing, kick, everything else is irrelevant.

Reggie Hodges is the punter for the New York Jets. Seen here hitting a 48 yard 4.78 punt in a game this season.

Introducing RECRUITING PROSPECT Trevor Pardula of Leigh High School
He will play for his high school team for the first time the fall of 2010. The lanky 6'5 - 180 lb. Kicker/Punter's Hometown is San Jose, CA

Coach Paul Assad, Pro College Football Player Development and Scouting comments: Tremendous size and explosiveness. Gains a huge radius with his height and fires through the ball well showing 55 plus range off the ground immediately with medium trajectory. Enters a Player Development Program with Coach Assad in April 2010 and showing great trajectory off the block and ability to take and use information immediately. Smart player that will only improve. Rated D1-D1AA already but is a soccer player carryover so will have to learn simulated snaps and kicks and punting has huge length and nice upswing for ball height. As he learns his set up and ball set will really grow as a player and is a probable top recruit as a duel threat if he can kick well in games his senior season.

RECRUITING PROSPECT
CO - Knight, Ryan Knight, of Golden High School in Colorado attended this summers Colorado Buff's Kicking Camp where he stood out and met Coach Assad. He since has a solid season and was recently in CA.

Coach Assad on Knight: He has good size and power. Good student of Punting with desire to learn and improve. Hard worker. Level headed and competitive. Should be a fine addition to any college program. Mature strength early. Has the ability to develop his punting to any collegiate level. Has demonstrated 4.89 pooch punts short field and typical 4.5 - 36-44 yard punts in training sessions. Should continue to improve. I thought it showed me something about his character coming out with his father on his spring break.

Cole Samson from Malaspina HS 2010 in Vancuver Island in Canada is located about 5 hours drive north from Seattle. Home to this year's Winter Olympics but he's in Modesto, CA Training with Paul Assad to improve his technique and be evaluated for college referral. This All Conference Defensive Player at 6/1 - 216 has the ability to kick off hard and blast field goals into the deep 50 plus yard range already. He showed incredible next level power and just some basics on punting also. He can be a great JC Player and is ready to come to the U.S. this year to prove himself unless the right opportunity comes along. He is also in the process of working thru his NCAA Clearing House. More to come with video soon. Inquire on this player.

ALL STATE PUNTER / KICKER BARNETT COMMITS TO CAL WITH VERBAL
Jed Barnett Punter/Kicker from Union High School near Portland Oregon surpassed full scholarship offers to two Division 1 teams that would have him playing in the WAC for the opportunity to be a Cal Bear. If he secures the starting specialist position kicker or punter he'll most likely be put on scholarship immediately. "This is a great opportunity.." And great opportunity it is. Cal is one of the most competitive programs in the PAC 10 and he'll receive national recognition playing for a top notch Coaching Staff under Coach Jeff Tedford. Jed has trained with Coach Assad since his sophomore year in high school and this year attended Private Training in Modesto and was a standout at the CU BUFFS KICKING CAMP this past summer.

Brad Hatfield, Manteca High School from Manteca, CA is improving fast. His field goal and kick power are really taking off. He showed us the ability to kick a 50 yard field goal off the ground today and kick off inside the 15 yard line. He will keep working on his technique with Coach Assad and improve trajectory and hang time/distances.
