How many losses does the kicking account for this season?

Does Peyton get the job done this year?

    I don't know but hopefully whatever team we lose to we have them dead to rights with time expiring and then lose in OT so their fans can say they "owned" us on Twitter!!!

    I hate you

    Good thing we’re going to take a scholarship punter and long snapper this class to add to our special teams prowess.

    At least it won’t be Browning going for it this year

    Statistically, it's supposed to be better to go for every single 4th down.

    If Pete were to go for it on 4th every time on the opponents 45-20, I'd actually be okay with it

    Every time? Not even close.

    More often than most coaches go for it? Yes, especially early in the game or when the field goal doesn’t cross a key number.

    But it will kill us when we need a FG to win or tie at the end.

    Every time is hyperbole, but studies have shown your odds of winning increase by going for it at every opportunity. Too risky for any coach though, even Leach.

    Still doesnt negate the fact a reliable kicking game is a season saver in close games.

    This is what ten years of data recommends vs what happens in the NFL.

    Kicking the FG is usually the best move.

    my hope is that the loss (LOL) of Browning means we won't be making so many field goal attempts

    Don James always used walk-ons to man the kicker and punter positions.
    The only two scholarship specialists that I can recall that weren't total pieces of shit were John Anderson and Sean McDonald.

    No studies show that. Maybe you are thinking of the high school coach in Arkansas that never punts or kicks field goals but 1. that is high school where they can't kick anyway and 2. he has vastly superior talent

    Husky skeeet posted the chart- most coaches punt far too often but aren't that far off on when they take the points.

    Obviously that chart is based on pure expected points and doesn't take into account the game situation.

    I see boobs and a gash.

    Edit: That’s an ass.

    I'm still pissed Peyton isn't Messican so we can't deport him.

    All these hot take narratives on the kicking battle are based on a sample of what, like eight "live" kicks spread across five practices?

    John Anderson is one of the best kickers this school has ever had

    First of all, mother fuck peyton Henry. Good god I just saw where Carli fucking Loyd hit a 55 yarder without the tee. Never again waste a scholly on a specialist. Fuck Horn, van soderberg, vizcaino, that gig harbor faggot and every other shit stain we have signed in the last 10 years.

    Walk ons are fine (unless it is payton henry)
