The question is: what's wrong? I wonder how "fixable" these kickers are in the first place. The Vikings last 4 kickers have been Walsh, Forbath, Carlson and Bailey. Two of them were drafted by Rick Spielman after college years in which they missed quite a few kicks. The other 2 were veterans available during seasons, with all that implies.PurpleMustReign wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 1:55 pmAgain, yay stats!
If you can't see the common denominators with our crappy kickers and how he can't figure out their problems, then I can't help you. How many kickers do we have to go through before we realize that something is wrong that no one is fixing?
Walsh had a great first season but then returned to inconsistency. Carlson had one tough game, the Vikings bailed on him and then he did pretty well in Oakland. Was that because he was coached better or did he just rebound from the GB game? Were the Vikings too impatient with him?
Is Priefer the problem or is the choice of kickers the problem? Was impatience the problem this year? Will Carlson remain consistent with Oakland?
I don't have answers but I think they're good questions. Maybe Priefer IS the problem. I just think we should look at these other factors too.
