I can't see why not. Give him the rest of the season to try and fix his trajectory and let him compete next year. Nothing to lose. His accuracy is good but his low kicks won't cut it.

I'm at a point where I think we need to start questioning who is in charge of evaluation our Kickers. Who is our ST coach again?

Least surprising news ever, though much ado about nothing, IMO.

Exaggerating a little but kickers are a dime a dozen. Remember when Ficken was a disaster who couldn't kick? Now he's a solid NFL kicker. Guys like Forbath an Hiram are just sitting around waiting for a call.

It's a relatively low value position that's pretty easy to fill...

I think yes and no. The more elite guys can make a real difference, a real weapon. Ask Jacksonville how hard it is to find a consistent kicker. Yes there appears to be some guys out there, but I wouldnt use Ficken as a shining example, he has been meh at best.

I think having a consistent kicker is important, some ST coaches seem to be better than others at finding them. Im glad they added McGinnis, we need more than one if Kai isnt the answer. I also thought if they liked Sloman so much they would work on his trajectory, but I think it was the short kickoffs that did him in,,,
