per DMN.
Does anyone have his stats from each hashmark last year?
Don't have any stats, but (to me) it seems as if ALL of his kicks veer to the right. Weird..................

well 90% of his kicks seem to be consistently right at the right post..it makes me cringe..per DMN.

Not many players available.
The Vikings just traded a 5th for a kicker. So dan bailey will be available soon
Week 1 Maher missed a 47 yard try off the right hash. (Wide right)
Next miss was week 7 vs the Commanders, the infamous LP D penalty, where Maher missed from the middle of the field.(Left goal post IIRC)
Week 9 against the Titans, 38 yard attempt off the right hash was no good. Wide right
Week 10, Maher missed from the right hash from 42 yards out against the Eagles (Cowboys leading 13-6) at the time
Week 14, he missed from the left hash, going wide right, from 45 yards. Eagles at home
Week whatever versus the Colts the kick was blocked
Week 17, Maher missed from the left hash going wide right from 34 yards
Playoff versus Seattle Maher missed wide right from the left hash. 58 yards.
- I felt Maher was very steady last season and then hit a rough patch for several weeks.
- One hates to see misses from short yardage, but isn’t that counteracted by his great success rate from long range? And while it’s frustrating, wouldn’t we rather see him miss from short range, giving the other team the ball with a long field, than see him miss from long range, giving the other team a short field?
- His kickoffs are very good. He’s a good kicker, not great at this point, entering only his second year in the NFL....shouldn’t we give him a chance to improve?
- Finally, I don’t think he ever missed an end of game, short FG, with the game on the line, so another optimistic side of this is that perhaps the idea that he might be a little shaky from short yardage kicks may result in Garrett taking a few more chances on fourth down when inside the 25.
When you list them like that, way too many misses. Gives it more perspective and shows how bad it may seem.
But a list of FG's he made, could counter that and show how good he can be also.
Still need TC competition though regardless.
Someone mentioned on another thread that Maher’s replacement in the CFL is an English soccer player who is 51 of 52 so far.
He can't do kickoffs and neither can Jones. So you'd have to sign 2 kickers.Matt Bryant!
