Joey Slye

[TheoJay10]

Was trusted to kick 3 times. Santoso was trusted to kick once and missed an XP. We have the worst luck with kickers. This has gone back for years a decade almost. Guano was good for a while but after the SB he fell apart again. Butker is a SB champion and a top3 kicker in the league while we continue to make dumb decision after dumb decision for another crucial position.

I don't think there is much risk of Slye becoming an All Pro kicker. But you need to be sure the replacement is better.

Slye was basically missing the net by the end of his time here. 

He had to go. Shows that it's all mental though if he's turned it around that quickly.

Yep. He had to go. Hell, he'd probably tell you himself he needed to go. He needed a total reset and restart to have any chance of fixing that case of the yips. Like a golfer with the shanks. You just can't stop hitting awful shots. You gotta just walk away for a minute,

Maybe Chase Blackburn isn't very good at coaching kickers. 

Or returners.

Or... could make a big point of this if you wanted to.

Santoso was 2/2 on field goals.

I'm convinced that at this rate, Butker could be here and he'd have the same numbers as Olindo Mare

We punted from the 33. 

That means the coach looked over at the kicker and decided that he'd rather just give the football to the other team than risk a 50-yarder.

He went 2/2 on FGs and 1/2 on XPs on his first start. Calm down. XPs aren’t from the 2 yard line anymore.

Slye is who he is, a middling professional kicker. He will be cut or back on their practice squad as soon as the #1 kicker is healthy.

[Clicheking]

Don't care if he had a good game, it was the right decision to move on from him. The only consistent thing about Joey was his inconsistency

Thanks for another thread telling us what we already know about our kicking sitation. For what its worth I trust Santoso more than I do Slye.

True. But the original statement of only giving him one opportunity is false when he made 2 fgs

Skye, Butker, and Geno are all dead to me. If/when we get another kicker in here we can talk, but this what if game with previous players ain't it. Lets go mustache for now, and hope we get some competency or competition at that position.
