You know, we got spoiled around here. We had an outstanding kicker that, for a long, time, led the NFL. But the real world is that when that kicker lines up- really now, whether it’s on an extra point or certainly with a field goal attempt- you don’t know if that ball’s going to go through there or not. You’d like to think you do, but you don’t. So his performance so far is giving us, when we step up there, we don’t know if it’s going through or not. We really need to make our decisions based upon whether we think we can score a touchdown. I remember, very early on when I was first involved in the NFL and with the Cowboys, we didn’t want to spend anything, and we didn’t want to get all bent out of shape over a kicker, because we usually thought if it comes down to the kicker to win the game that we weren’t going to do it. So rather than rely on that, just get it in the end zone. Now, that sounds trite, but there’s a lot of mentality there.”
I may be misreading this, but I think Jerry loves the kid.
