Vinny was a better athlete than most kickers not named Hunter. He played in NFL europe, before NE. Playing in NE didnt give him as many opportunities to kick long FG due to the lousy weather that affects most AFC east teams. Playing in a dome or decent weather for AFC south teams made for better stats.

Adam V had focus from years of working up from the bottom to get to the top. He was not the best kicker early, he was fortunate his coach had patience.

Since being released, Blankenship worked out for a few teams (Jaguars, Cardinals, etc) before eventually signing with the Cardinals practice squad to help fill-in for their regular kicker Matt Prater who is recovering from a hip injury.

In his first game action for AZ:

The Good: Specs went 2 for 2 on FG's including a 50 YD FG

The Bad: Specs missed an extra point attempt (2 for 3 on XP's)

Still seems to be a bit inconsistent with the results.


I wish him well, but I like that the Colts now have a FG kicker who can routinely make 50+ YD FG's.

Isn't he a 70% kicker? just not good enough for the NFL.

he is a shitty kicker

why would anyone give a fuck about this kid

Why wouldnt you care? He is a person.
