mob16151 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world too take a look at Henery,or Hartley.

He has it on the right and then misses right. Is it not easier to just kick it straight? Most R footed kickers last year took the Jason Elam advice and started kicking XP from the left hash aiming at the r upright. Just as they would want a FG. Why Carp still hasn't got the memo on that I don't know. Xp is now a 33yd FG and should be treated as such.

Chandler#81 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 If not for the miss, we wouldn't be part of League history. 1st time ever for the final score, 33-18.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Fun fact: All kickers available now are available because they miss kicks.
zow2 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Silly. You just can't release a guy because he misses a random extra point. If he misses some critical 35-45 yard FG's? sure, but not an XP. Look around the league, Cleveland lost a game because a fill-in kicker missed 3 FG's. Aguayo down in Tampa was a 2nd round pick, never misses....and he is missing alot. They'd be stupid to get rid of Carpenter at this point.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I wouldn't get rid of Carpenter, but there is merit to giving Carp the kickoffs and FGs and bringing in someone else to do the XPs, and cut Gay. It doesn't change the roster makeup, we still carry 2 Ks, but just slightly different roles now.

r00tabaga Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 How is J Gay on XPs? He missed one in preseason if I recall.

Since 2014, Carp has fallen off a cliff accuracy wise. Since the rule change, he's leading the league in missed XP's by a wide margin. He's gone from Money to Maybe. I love Kid Rock as much as anyone, but he needs to get back to 2014 reliability.

We don't have what I would call a great special teams coach though, and I suspect that has some reflection in this being a lingering issue
