    This is the reason why they made the PAT farther so it is not a gimme anymore.

        We need to at least make some kicker audition during bye week, I do not want to lose SB this year due to kicking issues

            I agree about using the bye week to possibly bring in another kicker if Vizcaino has a tough game in Baltimore.

              I'm aware of that. But I believe there was 13 extra points missed and 14 field goals missed last week.

                Yup lots of misses thoughout the league. Blankenship was awful last night but I think he was dealing with something.

                  We as Charger fans witnessed a kicker struggle, get cut and then go onto be stellar. Give Vizzy a chance

                    I’m agreeing with Staley here until proven otherwise. Right now almost every kicker is struggling for some reason. Especially in the PAT this past Sunday. Sometimes you need to be patient.

                    https://theathletic.com/2883526/2021...er-the-browns/

                    24. After the game, Staley said of Vizcaino: “We’re going to have to deal with this. He’s a young kicker in the league. He has a fantastic kickoff leg, and as a kicker, he needs to be in a lot of those situations to make sure he gets his rhythm and timing.” I followed up and asked at what point missing kicks becomes untenable, regardless of how talented the kicker is. “That’s certainly something to address down the road,” Staley replied. “We do have a good team, but I think he’s going to be part of that good team. We have to stick with him for now, and I have a lot of confidence in him. That’s why I’m talking about it. I’m not just saying it — I really believe in the guy.”

                    25. Staley addressed the kicking situation again Monday and said this: “I stand behind what I said yesterday at the game after having a day. It’s just like, hey, I feel like this guy, we feel like this guy is a good player, and we got to keep coaching him, we got to stay patient with him, because sometimes that’s what guys like this need, is just some patience, a little bit more experience. And that’s what we’re hoping for and we’re going to stay at it, and I know he’s got the chops mentally, and we’re just going to stick with him and keep coaching the guy.”

                        Perhaps we should hire a kicking mechanics coach to specifically get his mechanics/muscle memory in sync for more consistency.
                        What a novel and great idea to actually help the team improve. But demanding someone be cut is easier lol.

                          That would actually be funny.
