He doesn't handle pressure well, it gets in his head. How do you coach that out of a kicker? Just seems like a Blair Walsh version 2, without the fantastic rookie year.

swede700 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 It's a moot point now. I'll be interested to see if they bring him to the practice squad. They have had Ks on the practice squad before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as concerned with his words in an emotional moment after the game or take them all that seriously considering his age and experience. What I'm more concerned is where he goes from here. If he can't make the adjustments beginning this week and get over it, then he's done. If I can't do my job, yes. How many companies are going to hold onto an employee if they cost them money multiple times? In my field of heavy equipment....if I'm hired to cut the grade of a road to an 8th of an inch and I can't do it, do you think they're going to hold on to me and HOPE I figure it out while costing the company time & money or will they bring in someone else? This isn't the first time he's missed multiple kicks Are we forgetting him missing 2 kicks in game 3 of the pre-season? Going back to that pre-season game, Carlson is 3 for 8 in his last 3 games. This is more than a one game issue so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayN Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I don't post much on here but let's not forget that Carlson was given a new holder to start the season as well. He still needs to make the kicks but he wasn't given much of a chance to establish rapport with Wile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hopefully the ST coach is next on the chopping block if the ST unit doesn't improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
