...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.

"Much needed stability"... alrighty.

When you lose your kicking job to Slye, Blewitt is an appropriate name.

Well done.

How many teams has he been on?

For some reason I thought he was playing for Arizona.

Lol, can you imagine if he was half Asian, and his first name was Yu?

Yu would have been his mom.

Let Slye play in Mile High Stadium and set a record 80 yard field goal with an overall 40% kick rate on the year.

For all the talk of Slyes strong leg, our new small leg kicker has him beat for longest kick.
