Question about kickers....

Our own kicking situation got me thinking about this...

What can make a kicker great, but then suddenly awful? For example, Mike Vanderjagt

What can make a kicker so wilding inconsistent? For example, Neil Rackers (However you can argue that kickers like this are consistent at being inconsistent though)

How can a kicker be awful, but then suddenly good/great? For example, Justin Medlock possibly.

It seems to me that you would either have it or not. The sudden changes in a kicker confuse me. Is it coaching? Is it psychological? What is it?

Kickers spend a lot of time by themselves. Why, because often they know more about the angles of approach, time to complete, than their coaches.

So when something goes wrong a coach, usually can't even tell them how to fix it. I wish more football coaches would go to at least one summer session of a real kicking camp, it would help them and their players tremendously.

      OTA's

      People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.

      That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.
