...the 49ers’ decision to wave Slye in the middle of last week gave the second year head coach a window of opportunity to atone for his gaffe.

A former college star at Virginia Tech, Slye had spent time with both the Texans and 49ers as an injury replacement this year. In six games, he’s a clean 11-of-13 (84.6%) on field goal attempts, but just 9-for-12 (75%)  on extra-points.

In his last game for San Francisco in Week 8, he connected on 4-of-5 FG tries, while knocking down 1-of-2 point-afters.

The extra-point struggles are a little alarming, but Slye will offer much-needed stability at the kicker position. He has one of the biggest legs in the league, so Washington should have a chance to put points up on the board as soon as they cross an opponents’ 40-yard line. That’s the kind of value Slye brings.

Want another reason to feel good about the move? Slye kicked for Rivera in Carolina two seasons ago, so there’s familiarity there. That year, the former Hokie drilled nearly 80% of his FGs and over 88% of his extra-points.

As far as midseason acquisitions go, it’s tough to envision Rivera and Washington doing much better than Slye.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
