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.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
