    No excuses for a few ugly misses and he continues to hold the ball when he takes off as if ball security was an afterthought. I don't blame him so much for the dropped ball when he was upside-down, but the 1st one was an obvious inattention to detail. He does this far too often and part of the blame has to go to the coaches. There's no excuse for not wrapping the ball up when he runs. None at all. Getting stripped on a sack is another matter, but neither of those fumbles can be excused.

     

    This drives me insane when he runs the ball. As a rookie, OK, I can let it go, but this is year 3. No excuses anymore, tuck it away or slide. Virtually every one of his fumbles is him almost on the ground and it gets poked out because he's holding it nonchalantly. There's also that panic mode errant throw when nobody is near him where he can't believe that a guy is that open and he launches it too hard or with no touch resulting in an incompletion. 

     

    All in all considering the opponent, he played great, but those small mistakes will kill us against teams like KC, Pitt, SF, and Tennessee. 

  2. What ultimately decides which kicker a team decides to keep? Other positions are obvious why a team keeps one player over another. With kickers, we rarely see kicking situations that matter. Is it struggling in practice? A team would rather keep the more expensive option because they know what they get from him? Punters are slightly easier because these guys shank punts all the time, but it's rare to see a camp kicker in key moments.
