Over the last two years he was 75 of 75 on XPs.

True, but playing in the south August-Late November is a whole lot different than playing in Cleveland by the lake in Dec and January.

I don’t think being a good kicker in Cleveland is just ability, it’s knowledge of how to kick in that stadium.  He needs to be given time, as in years, imo.

You’re right, but he’s kicked in high pressure situations. He was the kicker their national championship season.

I’m not referring to pressure, I’m referring to environmental elements.

Wind off the lake, which swirls all kinds of weird arse ways, sub freezing and wet conditions, snow, all of the above, etc.

It’s not a simple task.

Like it! He seems to get it.

Im not sure Im as concerned with the weather conditions of kicking in CLE as others. Sure it can get crazy for games, but its not like its every single home game the weather sucks.

It's not about the weather sucking; it's about the wind.

It's always windy, and the wind always changes.
