I get it. Outdoor conditions can really play havoc with a kicker's performance.

But missing a 33 yarder because you can't figure out the conditions and line it up for a successful kick? That seems incredulous to me.

What were the kickers doing when all the other units were doing unit drills? Posting on TikTok?

Prior to the live practices were they were competing against each other they should have been kicking in the saem conditions as what the rest of their team mates were playing.

Overcoming localized conditions is a very key trait a quality kicker should have. You don't always get to kick in an enclosed stadium. At times you may end up in a northern climate outdoor stadium and you might have to make the kick that helps propel your team into the next round.

e.g. The Bears, Packers, Beagles and Commandments. You may have to kick outdoors in tough conditions late in the season to buy a ticket to the tournament.

They are actually kicking on the Pacific coastline. Kind of reminds me of watching baseball at Candlestick Park in San Francisco many.years ago.

There's always some massive flaw that everyone can see and it gets ignored until it rears its ugly head in the playoffs when it matters.
This team has a problem at RB, kicking and O-line and it's going to rear its ugly head when we go against the 49ers, Eagles or if we make it to the bowl, against a team like KC

Over or Under - Crosby will be an emergency signing before the season begins

More often than not, fans are full of ****. Especially the ones that are the most vocal and the loudest.

Brett Maher cost us game. Disastrous in post season. Now these. Clowns.

They are going to cost us a game. Perhaps post season when games are close.

Can't count on these guys.

Gina Carano could do it better than these bums. Or pick ANY graduating senior high school or college kicker. LOL. JJ is such a bloody fool. Most "prestigious" team in sports can't even get a competent FG kicker. Whose fault is that? JERRAL JONES that's who. Competent and consistent FG kickers are required to win games.

I don't want to pee on your parade, but there are away games and possibly post season where the winds will the like the gales of Oxnard. Wins on the road are more difficult.
