Jeezy Fanatic Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’m partly convinced Ron Rivera’s pool of players he knows is only based off teams he coached 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Slye sucks. When he gets cut maybe we’ll bring in Mark Moseley in for a tryout. Can never have enough different kickers in a season. Looking good RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Slye isn’t any better than Hopkins, but at least he’s better than Blewitt. Hopefully, maybe something clicks here and Slye kicks better than he has in the past, at least we have an NFL level kicker again. I didn’t trust Blewitt at all, I’m still shocked they made that move and it backfired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, and he is the prerequisite Carolina Panther castoff !! Yeah, that number is very bad. He’s been going back and forth with Sam Ficken (who is, incidentally, probably the worst kicker who keeps getting work) for the lowest XP% of the last 30 years or so. Austin Seibert is trying to get into the mix on that one, as well. I was always intrigued with Slye because he has such a strong leg. He can boom them from pretty much any distance, and his first season in Carolina, he caught my eye because he was young and nailing 50+ yard kicks at a pretty nice clip. Then he came crashing back to earth, and when you lose your job to Zane Gonzalez, that’s never a great sign. Clearly a better choice than Blewitt. But still demonstrably worse than the guy we already had, so......a mixed bag?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Leg strength I guess, like speed, can't be taught. But accuracy maybe can be coached up. Obviously from 33 yards the XP is not a problem of leg strength. Study the film and be sure his timing , approach are consistent. It ...SHOULD...be a solvable fix one would think but what the H do I know about kicking !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s certainly better than Blewitt, so at least we have a guy we can actually call an NFL level kicker now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call that “good”. I remember him missing a ton of kicks. I was honestly shocked when I saw him in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What matters more is what he’s done more recently rather that what he did 5 years ago in college. He’s a 83% FG kicker this year. He missed 2 from 40-49 but, he’s 3-3 over 50. I can’t imagine him being worse than what we’ve had so far this year with those #s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
