I say, definitely YES!
Throughout Mayer’s kicking career he has been inconsistent, especially on short kicks and extra points. The last few weeks this inconsistency is showing up. Almost none of his kicks are down the middle. Last week vs the Giants every Field goal, or extra point, barely made it or was no good.
I say bring in 3-5 kickers to give Mayer some serious competition. This will make him focus and put game like, pressure on him. If he kicks, as good as the competition, he remains our kicker for Seattle. This would give me confidence going into the Seattle game.
Kickers get in a groove and also get in slumps. Right now Mayer is in a slump. Like we have seen, almost none of his kicks are down the middle. We may bring in a veteran kicker, who is in a good groove, and hits everything right down the middle from 40 yards and in. Also, recently, especially last week everyone of Mayer’s kickoffs were short.
I’m afraid if we don’t bring in some competition, Mayer is going to continue to struggle. I could see him missing 25-40% of his kicks vs Seattle. I hope I am wrong, but the evidence is there for it to happen.
Jerry, be proactive, bring in 3-5 kickers. The kicker who is the most consistent wins the job. If it is close Mayer keeps his job for Seattle.
Competition is a good thing!! Especially for Kickers, who get in a groove and go into slumps. We do not need a Kicker in a slump going into Seattle!!!
