For the most part I've not paid attention, but the snippets I've read online and here - they've gotta go with Carlson. Here's to 🤞he has a rebound year.

Zycho32 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Is it just me, or does Carlson simply kick TOO straight when going from left hashmark to right goalpost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) If both of these guys were coming in with no history in GB, it wouldn't have been much of a debate. The angst about Carlson is all about what he did in GB last season, not what he did in camp. At this point I am not overly concerned who gets the job. It's going to be a bumpy ride either way. I kind of want to see Joseph get the job just to see the "Carlson has to go!" camp calling for Joseph's job by November. If Calson gets the job (as I expect) it's going to be non-stop whining after every missed kick. Edited August 24 by Mazrimiv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really slim pickings, McManus is dealing with a sexual abuse civil case, Riley Patterson is great from 45 and under, you don't want him kicking longer than that, Joey Slye is pretty much the same as Carlson and Joseph. If you wanted a kicker, should've made the Cade York trade Gutey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Calson gets the job (as I expect) it's going to be non-stop whining after every missed kick. IMO the smart play (if no door No. 3) is giving the nod to Joseph and putting Carlson on the PS. Hell you could even see Carlson at some point during the season because he's still practicing with the team. Right now I trust Joseph a bit more inside of 45 yards and a lot more inside of 40. Outside of 45 they are probably a toss up even though Joseph does have a bigger leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are roughly equal from 45+ in terms of reliability, I'm taking the guy who's at least more reliable on the "gimme" kicks. Joseph has missed 1 FG in his career from 30-39. Carlson just missed a 32-yard FG, something that's not even surprising given that he missed 5 XPs last year. You can reasonably trust Joseph up to 40 yards. You can't trust Carlson from any distance right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acting like Joseph is hands down more trustable inside 40 is foolish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) What's annoying is that the Lions lost Badgley for the season on the 26th of July and proceeded to pick up Jake Bates who by all accounts is kicking very well in camp. Why can't we spot a good kicker? Looking at kickers who are currently rostered right now but are potential cuts: Blake Grupe or Charlie Smyth (ip) - Saints Jude McAtamney (ip) - Giants Brayden Narveson - Titans Spencer Shrader - Colts Matthew Wright - Steelers Lucas Havrisik - Browns Austin Seibert - Jets Chad Ryland or Joey Slye - Patriots Theres a whole bunch of interesting UFL/XFL/USFL kickers such as Andre Szmyt Edited August 24 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
