POLL: Is it Time to Fire Vizzy? - K Dustin Hopkins Signed!

[Guest]

One final note before moving on to the Ravens. There was a lot of back and forth on this thread, and a lot of emotions because of game day. But bottom line we are all on the same Bolt team and all want the same thing. I am glad for and respect all the opinions I get to read here. You guys make this a great forum.

It looks to be a fun season.

I know this won’t happen/never happens, but why not offer a bad team a late round pick for their kicker? Graham Gano is having a good year for a 1-4 Giants team going nowhere, why not trade him if you’re the Giants.

Thats a good plan if the Giants continue to slide and Vizcaino continues to struggle.

I think I don't cut him yet - but good plan

(But I like your idea of looking at bad teams and trading for players - in the other thread I mentioned Norwell from the Jags for OG; Cannon, OT and Cooks, WR from Houston and Cordarelle Patterson for KR/PR as options to call if I am telesco with draft picks and cap space

When you can grab a top-10 singer/frontman of all time, you don't hesitate...

[Old Marine]

He is not very good I say take him out back and shoot him

[Charge!]

I have no idea who is out there but change for the sake of change is also not smart. Slye would have been pretty good but he signed with the 49ers

The Texans might be looking for a kicker
Crosby and the Bengals kicker had bad games

It was all around the league.

yeah, there were a lot off missed kicks this weekend....... even guys like crosby were missing kicks....

He really does kick the ball extremely high on PATs and FGs. It is always just about at the top of the posts. Does that make the ball more wind susceptible?

Thats a good point. Hopefully Swinton is looking at that

Based on the list I saw, I am not giving up on him yet. A guy in a tryout might be okay -- but when the game comes on - unless there is a track record - another rookie or youngish kicker is not the answer

I am giving Vizcaino at least this week in Baltimore. If he stinks, well the bye week is there for the new guy to have two weeks to prepare with Long and the long snapper.

[Eurobolt]

Is he still on the team?

[ChargersPowderBlue]

His kicks move a LOT. Like knuckle balls.

They do move a lot. His kicks wobble and they make it hard to be confident in him as a kicker.

[bartman83642]

Not saying we should cut him right out but I would say bring in several kickers for a tryout so the coaching staff have some people in mind in case the problem continues.

[Critty]

No.
He has a big leg and is young.
Hopefully he will be more consistent sooner than later.
FG is 6/7 85.7% this works.
XP 10/14 71.4% is terrible right now.

Borregalas was lights out in College the past 3 years. He has a great leg and is incredibly accurate, I know this would break the Chargers desire to have the worse kicker in the league each year but I think he would be worth bringing in
