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.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
