Yes, the block wasn't his fault, 100% on the blocking unit and his missed PAT was by a hair.  Missed kicks will happen, you have to look at how they were missed.  Slye was utterly shanking kicks.  Gonzalez just slightly misjudged his angle.

I don't mind a field goal/xp miss every now and then

Not getting the ball past the 10 yard line on kick offs is a much bigger issue

Lol we face Joey Slye on Thursday night. He missed a short FG on Sunday for the Texans. Watch him boot like three 60yd FGs for an inept Texans offense on Thursday 

With the scrub rookie at QB they may never even have the field position to attempt a 60 yard FG...

The short kickoffs are a huge concern for me. If he can't do better than that he will be out of here in a few weeks.

This was what really worries me. Even when his kick offs reached the end zone, it was just by a hair. We apparently don't have the coverage team to risk the run backs. I'd feel a lot better if he was booming them past the end line like Slye did. 

It's hard to march 75 yards down the field on this defense.

In the presser Rhule said this is on purpose and they will continue to cover kicks going forward.

Now is he just saying that b/c our kickers suck, dunno but he did say covering kicks was going to be a thing and that they had planned for it.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
