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.

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

      I'm more of a Hornets fan than I am a Panthers fan, I've watched a ton of this franchise the last 20 years. I post all day on RealGM. Don't get your hopes up, this is setting us up for a 20 point loss to the Heat and a swift end to the season. Spoelstra has always solved us, the Heat have two bigs that we have no answers for, and Jaquez is a certified Hornets killer that always plays us like he has a grudge on us. The Hornets being a top 10 team all year and a top 5 team the last half of the year and then flat out missing the playoffs is incredibly on brand for this crappy, horrendous franchise. I would love to be proven wrong. But I've suffered enough to know this little scheme the team is pulling. We finished 2 games out of 6th and guaranteed playoffs, and we blew two games to the Pacers and Nets earlier in the season, when they weren't trying to win. It's just who we are, Hornets DNA
