Just missed 63 yard into the wind at practice
Building chemistry with JJ Joe,Oscar and Thomas 

I've been hitting some bombs recently

Question on Charltons holding improvement: knowing where the balls going to be.... is big so he can just swing
He's been working with Charlton a lot this offseason- "We've taken huge strides"

On JJ vs Fletcher
     I eliminate any understanding of whose snapping, its me vs the ball
    JJ is a 13 year vet because he's amazing
    Fletcher was drafted because of his abilities
On Mental Aspects
    Been working with sports psychologist Dr. Perry 2x week
    Need to know how to quiet things in the mind
    If I can make my brain as strong as my body I can be successful
    Work on thinking on and off the field 
    Get your mind to quiet while still thinking
    Use Headspace app helps go to sleep
    Uses a bio feedback device while kicking
    Coach Rhule talks about Level 4 Mastery of things, Unconscious Competence

On Physical Aspects
    Working with Dr. Jordan Shallow for phys program and nutritionist Phil Smith to improve performance.

Slye points to his St. Jude baseball hat- his parents trusted the doctors to save his brothers life...those doctors played a role in  him getting vaccinated

On Statistic Goals
   He smiles, 100% field goals in anyway to best help the team

   Best for the team is he hit 100% of his PATs and no field goals attempts (all touchdowns)

Just watched the video.   Like hearing about the kind of work  he is putting in.  Seems like  a smart guy.  Also found it interesting  the  emphasis Rhule has on the mental side of things.  Hope Slye is very successful this year.

As I think about it, in terms of games where he appeared to be the deciding factor, he wasn't THAT bad.

He was  5 for 5 FGs in the Chargers game FTW.  We couldn't find the endzone with a map that game.

He missed the 65 yarder at the end of the NO game.

He just missed the 67 yarder against KC.

He missed the 54 yarder against the Vikes.

If he had made either of the 60+yarders we'd be celebrating him as hero, especially the KC one, which JUST missed.

If Teddy had gotten enough RZ/2 min/Endzone  practice and the play came early enough so he wasn't rushed 🙄 he would have hit wide open DJ in the back of the endzone.

The only one I can reasonably blame him for is the Vikes, but in my mind, that was more on Teddy.

I'm a firm believer in giving kickers a pass on those kind of kicks. That distance is just too tricky. 

As I think about it, I may be confusing 60+ yarders.  It may be the NO one that just missed.  Does anyone remember?

I hate it when teams pull off the throttle when they get inside the 35 late in a close game.  Sure, they may be in FG range, but 50+ yarders are not something I would want to put my hopes on.  Even when a FG will be the difference, the goal should be to break the 20.  When you break the 20, the goal should be to have the kicker lining up for a PAT, if there is time.  Don't be stupid, but don't quit, either.

A lot can go wrong with a kick.

Especially with such a shaky kicker like Slye.

Well if I remember right, we threw two checkdowns to CMC at the end of the KC game  for like no yards to set up the  67.

Somehow they knew Teddy would check down.

Not sure what else he can do to fix what wasn't working. Seems like he's hitting it from all angles.

Hope he hits it from all angles during the season.

His issues are between his ears. Sometimes that gets fixed, sometimes it doesn't.

Usually for kickers, once that goes(or if you just don't have it) there isn't usually a recovery. Like pro golfers that suddenly get the yips and never recover.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
