Chapter 9: The kickers profiled in this episode all played 9 years or more in the National Football League. Starting for a game or a season is one thing but making it in the league year after year at a position that only has one spot on every roster is something altogether different. How do these elite kickers continue to keep their roster spot into their 30s and even 40s? Nate Kaeding spent almost all of his career with the San Diego Chargers after being a highly touted 3rd round pick and the top specialist in the 2004 NFL Draft. Nick Lowery was cut 11 times before beating out future Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud for the Kansas City Chiefs starting job. There are multiple ways to make the league but to last you need grit and a personal philosophy on life, family, and competition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Chapter 5: A field goal always starts with the long snapper. In fact, there is no field goal without the long snapper. So, we explore the long snapper position through Nate Boyer and Kendall Gammon. Boyer is a former Green Beret in the US Army who learned to long snap, from the ground up, as a 30-year-old in order to fulfill his dream of starting for the University of Texas Longhorns football team. Gammon played 218 straight games during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Kansas City Chiefs, and is one of the best long snappers in NFL history.Chapter 6: Someone needs to catch those tight spirals. This is an inside look at the holder position through Bryan Barker who had a 16-year NFL career as a holder and punter for teams including the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Philadelphia Eagles. He held for both Nick Lowery (Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets), and Eddie Murray (Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles) who are not only featured in this series but who also required very different holding techniques from Barker. Since holders almost always play other positions, National Football League veteran John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) compares the difference between the punters and backup quarterbacks that held for him during his career. Louisville's Art Carmody and Texas Tech's Alex Trlica discuss having future NFL starting wide receivers Harry Douglas and Danny Amendola hold for them respectively, during their time as elite college kickers.

Chapter 3: Everyone we talked to for this podcast from Lou Groza award winners to a Pro Football Hall of Famer agreed that the best pro and college kickers are athletes who played a lot of sports growing up. As University of Florida Gators kicking great Bobby Raymond put it, they learned to be competitors by playing everything rather than just kicking. The best kickers often are “jack of all trades, master of none” until they decide to specialize in college. This episode explores the way different kickers relate other sports to their position on the football field. Surfing, pitching, golf, and even stock car auto racing are some of those sports where these world class placekickers first honed the athletic skills and a mindset that enabled them to later excel as kickers.  Chapter 4: A deep dive into the mental aspect of the kicking game. This chapter is all about the techniques the best placekickers have used to stay at the top of their game. Hear about mental, visualization and practice strategies directly from Lou Groza Award winners Joe Allison (University of Memphis Tigers), Judd Davis (University of Florida Gators), Marc Primanti (North Carolina State Wolfpack), Art Carmody (University of Louisville Cardinals), Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens), and more.

Chapter 1: This is the story of how two different kickers used the same strategy to climb from rock bottom to become the best amateur kickers in the country. Lou Groza Award winners Alexis Serna (Oregon State Beavers) and Brad Craddock (University of Maryland Terrapins) came close to quitting for different reasons, but the way they overcame obstacles was the same. These two kickers explain the mindset of “kicking not to miss” and how it almost ruined their promising kicking careers.Chapter 2: This chapter was inspired by a conversation with former Syracuse Orange kicker Cole Murphy in the summer of 2019. In that conversation, Murphy explained that he felt all the best kickers had a “beach bum” like quality to them. The concept became the starting point for this entire podcast series. Are all great kickers like “beach bums”? Had reporter Cole Weinstein uncovered the predictive personality trait that determined whether someone could make it big as an elite college or NFL kicker? We answer those questions with the help of NFL veterans Pro Bowler John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), whose careers each spanned over two decades in the NFL.Interviews include Alexis Serna (Oregon State Beavers), Brad Craddock (University of Maryland Terrapins), Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints), Nate Kaeding (San Diego Chargers), and more.

(CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault)In a special edition of Locked On Presents, Locked On NHL local hosts Erica Lindsay Ayala (Locked On Kraken), Ann Kimmel (Locked On Predators), Jay Forster (Locked On Blue Jackets) and Rachel Donner (Locked On Flyers) come together for a round table discussion on the fallout from the Chicago Blackhawks' sexual assault cover up, the NHL's handling of the situation, hockey's toxic culture and lack of accountability within the inner ranks of the sport, and what can be done to address the fundamental flaws in the way the sport is governed from the grass roots level up to the NHL.The conversation begins with a recounting of events detailed 107-page report from Jenner & Block on the sexual assault of the John Doe now known to be Kyle Beach by former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich, and the assault Aldrich committed on a second John Doe after having left the Blackhawks organization. The panel dives into their reactions to the interviews held by TSN's Rick Westhead with both Beach and the mother of John Doe 2, and why the don't believe the hockey world would have responded in the same way without those courageous interviews.From there, Erica, Ann, Jay and Rachel discuss the NHL's handling of the situation, avenues for change within the construct of the sport, and how the league's regular missteps on issues of sexual assault, racism, homophobia and other societal ills have affected their own fandom, as well as the role fans need to play in pressuring the league to change its ways.
