I guess the real question .......is there a better option? Do you gamble going with a lesser-known kicker?
Our kicker situation is almost like our backup QB position. Makes you shake your head.
If it’s only 1 game I feel we got lucky.True but odds of seeing our backup QB makes me smile. Not so for our kicker.......he's going cost us at least one game, just watch (LOL).
One? The way Garrett coaches, keeping games close, he will cost at least 3.True but odds of seeing our backup QB makes me smile. Not so for our kicker.......he's going cost us at least one game, just watch (LOL).
He is in his own head at this point. He maybe done. I would rather try to bring Bailey home and see if we could rebuild his confidence with the team.If it’s only 1 game I feel we got lucky.
He is shaky as hell and I believe he has been this way for a while.
And I mean teal ugly. The guy is in his own head at this point. Likely not going to get better. Last year he missed his first attempt and then went on a run. Now he is just getting worse..Even some of the kicks he made were ugly.
Cut him.
I would have had kickers in throughout the offseason if I were in the FO. The guy is shaky at best. I wouldn't even be concerned about whether the player is a "lesser known kicker", because honestly, just one year ago Maher WAS a lesser known guy to most of us and he beat out Bailey. They've gone with the lesser known commodity before so do it again if he beats out the incumbent.
You can't miss from 35 as a professional kicker unless there are gail force winds. This guy could cost this team several wins and possible seeding advantages with his schizophrenic kicking.
Doesn't have to be a lesser known kicker
Matt Bryant is still available
Kicker, punter, SS, and TE still need to be upgraded prior to the season
