Anyone else concerned?

In a grand turnabout, no QB's involved in the thread!

So I was just browsing stats now that we're halfway through the season and came across this . . . 

FG %

XP %

Not that there is much we can do about it . . . but . . . bottom 25% of the league in both stats is definitely concerning to me.

more concerned w/ the blocking up front. 

Syle is what he is.  A big footed kicker.  He will miss some.  Trade off is he will give you a shot at kicks others can't. 

Lot of pressure getting through of late impacting kicks.  That is my bigger concern.

Seems to me the blocks and some misses were due to guys crashing from the edges or coming right up the middle. Seems like Slye isn't necessarily the biggest concern.

Stat is skewed a bit by blocks, kicks that would’ve been blocked had he not kicked around the defender (which is why it was missed) and a free kick attempt that was very long and never practiced... 1 PAT missed is not horrific, even Justin Tucker missed one last night.

Hmm...interesting...Slye is not as accurate as Gano....imagine that.

 

LOL at everyone who was so dead set on cutting Gano for Slye this preseason. Gano going on IR was not as good a thing as everyone thought.

we blew it by not keeping butker. Dave's final gift and we threw it in the trash for Ganope

I don’t think he is the long term answer. We need to go find a K this offseason. Gano isn’t it either. Draft one late and bring in a UDFA. Let them compete for it. I definitely don’t want to go pull one off the trash heap right now. Would much rather stick with Slye than what is out there currently.

I mean, that was literally his exact FG% (71.4) in 3 of his 4 college seasons including his final year...so no one should be particularly surprised except for those who were trying to argue in the preseason that we shouldn’t pay any attention to his college performance.

His insane leg strength is such an asset that I’m still holding onto hope that he can improve his consistency.

Stat is skewed, kicker not the biggest concern, opposing team crashing the edges, kicked around a defender.....

Why didn't Gano get all these excuses?

The Gano hatred is so obvious, half of you would trot Stevie Wonder out there and be searching for excuses why he missed just to keep Gano off the field.

Gano? You’re joking right?

you do realize we didn’t even attempt kicks Slye is attempting with Gano and he’s a rookie and he’s not injured AND he’s paid in gummy bears.

come on man. It’s not the same thing.

 The anyone should be pissed about anything it’s the incompetent staff letting Butker go.

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
