Is anyone else worried about Vanderjagt?

Vandy missed all three kicks today.

"Kicker Mike Vanderjagt missed all three of his field-goal attempts from 33, 38 and 43 yards out. His leg seemed to lack an explosive punch."

Is anyone else getting worried? I know he's an old pro and can probably turn it up a notch when he's ready, but these should be chip shots for him. I hope he steps it up soon!

Oops. Didn't realize that "Oh no...not again" was the same subject.

Yes, I'm worried if it might be mental...maybe he's shaken or not into it. Then again, he might (hopefully) turn it on for the games.

I have been worried since the day we signed the guy due to the way his season ended.

I think he's not used to kicking outside

That's what I was thinking. I don't know his practice history. Maybe this isn't unusual for him.

Good point. His confidence could be totally shot. Hopefully, he can shake it off.

The good thing is, there's no wind inside Texas Stadium, so he should feel at home (except for the lack of air conditioning).

Hard to trust the psyche of a kicker.

They say that practice field is unusually lumpy. Let's just try to go with that for a few more weeks.

 

[Doomsday]

Nope not in the slightest.

like 2 years ago he was missing like all of his FG's during training camp. I think even during the preseason games. I remember cause I let him go off of my fantasy football team, and then he went on to have another good year. There may be an article about it somewhere.

I wouldn't worry about him much, unless it's a big kick or something.

Love your confidence.

You do realize he played at WV in the Big East Conference in college and also spent some years in the CFL before going to play with the Colts.

There you go again.....you're either waking from my nap or making me spit DrPepper all over my mouse & keyboard....Dadgum you Jimmy.


I'm not worried yet............

Anybody see the film of the Cardinals kicker hitting the uprights on NFL dot com?

Awesome! I was thinking it was a trick/joke? He called all four kicks from 50 yards out: first 2 hit the left up right, second two hit the right upright. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

"It's all a work in progress," Vanderjaght said of his struggles in camp. "I haven't pushed the panic button yet. I'm a notoriously slow starter. I'm notoriously bad in practice. I'm notoriously bad in preseason games. But when the lights go on I seem to have the ability to put the ball through the uprights. I'm not counting on that, though. I'd still like to get in a zone before the regular season starts."
