I think theyll get oppprtunities to alternste kicks in preseason games but if they havent figured itnout well surely sign someone. Ive been seeing a lot of 4th down drills being run. Perhaps there prepared to just go for it in 4th and under 5 situations?

We're starting to get into desperate times now. Should have addressed it long before now.
With who two over the hill noodle leg guys, Maher, and the two guys that came to camp? There was hardly anyone of note available I mean would Gould, Maher, or Crosby seem like solid solutions.

Robbie Gould, Mason Crosby, Ryan Bullock, Ryan Succop, Zane Gonzalez are the veteran guys out there.

The good news is these guys out there have experience who could probably hit around 85% of their kicks. Thats pretty average, but that still sounds more reassuring than the current situation.

For context the current NFL record for highest fg % in history is 90.4% (Justin Tucker) who also has a 98.8% XP percentage. Just thought we should give context between what we are considering so-so and what the greatest ever's numbers are.
Yes and he kicks outdoor as well so he is literally head and shoulders better than Crosby, not to mention Crosby has never known as a dead eye FG kicker, his best FG% year was 2019 he was 16/16 on FG which seems a little low but missed 4 point afters. Justin Tucker almost has as made FG as Crosby and in 5 less years, also Tuckers worst year is better than 7 of Crosby's. Tucker is good but there are better guys than Crosby who at his point is an inconsistent JAG. I am all for bringing him in to compete with Aubrey and Vizcaino but I expect them all to be pretty close together in performance.

Except Gould and Succop do not KO anymore, Gonzalaex looks pretty erratic throughout his career, and Crosby is old and inconsistent.

May I have your attention please!
Will a real kicker please stand up?
I repeat, will a real kicker please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here

Not perfect options, but better than whats currently here. Zane did hit 20/22 kicks the last season he played. Crosby had a terrible 2021, much better 2022 hitting 25/29 kicks.

Kicker and RB are going to be the Achilles heel of this team..
Kicker I agree with but no on RB. The RB’s they have on the team now are fully capable to share duties & the Free Agents still out there could be a factor should someone get hurt or suspended.

OL is one injury away from being bottom half of the league if they remain healthy they are maybe top 10

I think the achillis heel is the line. the RB room improved by subtraction

We’ve seen enough. Bring in a veteran. It was a nice try to strike gold but it’s time to get real.

You guys laughed at me when I said I would use a pick on a kicker.



During practice on Thursday, Moody is seen kicking a 60-yard field goal with absolute ease. The kick was made so easily, it hit the play clock and the kick would have been good from 70 yards -- at least.

That pacific wind in Oxnard is something I guess . Wait until he kicks inside the friendly art gallery no wind doors roof closed except the gift shop open .

I mean, if he's struggling with the Pacific wind, what's he going to be like in the swirling winds of MetLife Stadium? Or the field of Lincoln Financial Field? I think we need to bring in the kicker from the Philadelphia Stars USFL side. Or, perhaps a kicker from Japan that I've mentioned about. Or, just someone who can make a kick. Anyone from any country that can make consistent kicks would be great.
