My hope for an ending to the musical chairs at kicker is waning

[frankw]

While I am concerned about it I don't expect much this year record wise so it isn't like it's going to sink a great season. Give the young guy the keys and let him sink or swim. If we are trending upward by the end of the year then it can be something to directly address in 2026 along with our other needs.

I heard that one day out of like five and was reported by a tweet from Joe Person. Unless Person was right there on them or heard it from the coach, I don't know how he drew his conclusion. That being said, I have become aware that regulation posts are 18½ feet wide, while the so-called skinny posts are 9 feet wide. That's a big difference. The skinny posts are supposed to help with aiming and accuracy when it comes to the regulation posts. This makes me feel a little better, however I don't see anyone consistently saying, "That would've been good on Sundays." It would be nice to know the specifics every time they practice.

Of course, Fitzgerald was one for three on regulation posts last night. I saw it somewhere that the misses were 40-50 something yards away (as well as the make). 

I saw he was 1 out of 3, but didn't the article I saw didn't specify what goal posts they were using.  I assumed they were still using the narrows.

Eh. He was good for us but his career has been even less impressive than Pinero. 

 

not many options are available at this point w/o making a trade

zane had a 90% FG accuracy his one season here

I wouldn't mind bringing back pinero for the right price but apparently pinero and the FO burnt their bridges after last season

They're not going to put skinny posts on the real field. Plus, one of the reporters even referenced Fitzgerald's performance on the regulation posts in a question to Canales during the presser. Canales essentially said that Fitzgerald has to finish.

If we don't find a guy between Wright and Fitzgerald, it will likely just be a parade of guys to figure something out. This happened before, so it's more of the same.

Ideally we just try to ride Fitzgerald out and he eventually finds his groove.

He was 22nd in FG % and 26th in XP%

The season prior he was 18th and 37th

 

Historically good at what?

 

 

Tell me the percentage of say, 15th that year.

We can't find a serviceable kicker, meanwhile the Jags have a dude banging 70 yarders. LOL

We're one of the few teams who consistently struggle with it. Eventually you just have to chalk it up mismanagement.
