The Colts' Placekicking, 2025 Season
 
o


Maybe Michael Badgley can be this season's Matt Stover, and be a solid-but-not-spectacular kicker for the Colts on a trip to a Super Bowl appearance ...... that's what happened in 2009 when Stover had to pinch-hit for the injured Adam Vinatieri.

Stover was 41 years-old when he kicked for the Colts that season, and he was 9-for-11 on FG attempts and 33-for-33 on Xtra Point attempts.

In the post-season he was 6-for-7, with the only miss coming on a 51-yard attempt in the Super Bowl.

If you were expecting more from him, that would be asking a lot.

I wasn't expecting more from him. It's the fact that he had no business attempting a 51 yd field goal, and Caldwell should have known that.

Oh, OK. But the way that you worded it implied that Stover didn't carry his weight.

Now that you mention it, a 51-yard FG attempt 16 years ago would be like a 55-yard FG attempt today. 60-yard attempts are not uncommon today, but they were back then. The Colts probably should have gone for it on 4th down with Manning and the offense in that situation.

(vs. STEELERS, 11/02)



Badley kicked a two FG's of more than 50 yard today (52 yards and 53 yards, respectively.)

Badgley is 5-for-5 in FG attempts, and 14-for-15 in X-tra Point attempts so far this season.


Whoever decided to sign this guy appears to have a good eye for kickers.

Cam Little just kicked a 68 yard FG. They have got to narrow the goal posts.

(vs. FALCONS, 11/09)



Badgley missed 2 kicks today ...... a 32-yard X-Tra Point, and a 53-yard FG attempt.

He did convert on a clutch, 44-yard FG with only seconds remaining in the 4th quarter to send the game into overtime.

In addition to Blake Grupe, the Colts worked out K Maddux Trujillo and K Justin Tucker today.

Grupe is 75 of 94 on FGs (79.8%) and 86 of 88 on PATs (97.7%) in his career.

However, he’s just 18 of 26 on FGs this year (69.2%).

Blake Grupe has a history with Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason, who coached him at Notre Dame in 2022.

Grupe is in line to kick for Indy this week.
