Wow the kicks I mean hits keep on coming!

Well at least we will have stability for three weeks. If Zane misses a kick he will get the ziggy at the end of three weeks.

Maybe he just needs a little sports psychology. Do we know anyone?

Yeah he can go to Darnold's guy lol

Not that Slye was good but I think he is better than Santoso or Gonzales.

My position is the same as the day we brought in Santoso.  

either get a legit leg and if one isn’t available…..bring in some young rookie to gamble on.   No point bringing in dysfunctional kickers that have already proven they aren’t actually good enough.    We aren’t in win now mode.  Might as well actually be trying out guys with potential to be actual answers

I see Fitterer streams his kickers in FF. 

[Smittymoose]

wasn't worth the 7th. good move.

We should never have cut Gano. When you have a top-five kicker, you don't just give that up - the downside is too great.

Yea we made fun of GOHNO! but joke was on us

Gonzalez has made a decent percentage of his 50+ yard attempts.

We do have a kicker on the practice squad, Dominik Eberle.  Based on the article linked, he looks to have a leg similar to Slye.  Keeping him on the PS while grabbing another kicker tells me they like him, just don’t fully trust him yet….

“Kicking for the Utah State Aggies since 2016, the Nuremberg, Germany native has broken and still holds numerous school and conference records including most individual career points scored at USUand most field goals made in Mountain West history with 64, ahead of Utah’s Louie Sakoda. He was a finalist for the Lou Groza award in 2017 and a semi-finalist in 2018.

The 6’2″, 190 pound Eberle also became just the sixth player in NCAA history to kick three 50-plus yard field goals in a game, a feat he easily accomplished against New Mexico State in 2018.

You might say he has a leg.”

He has a worse overall % than Syle…and spent all last season choking on kicks in the 4th q.  

I’d rather have a rookie.  A rookie kicker would deserve blind optimism.  This is just a bad overall kicker.    Rhule should of just kept Syle.
