Can we finally say CROSBY HAS TO GO?

[red]

do kickers have their own coaches? everyone else on the team has there own personal coach just about

do the packers have a kicker coach? or is it just slocum?

I'm with PB. There's something he must be doing consistently wrong, and why he hasn't made an adjustment that will get the ball to the left, I don't know. I'd like to at least see him miss one left from that right hash mark, just to assure me that he's making some kind of adjustment.

He's got the kicker equivalent of Steve Blass syndrome.

I'm trying to blow off steam. Quit being so damned reasonable!!

He tried that on an extra point. If it had been a 30 yard FGA, he would have missed it.

They have said the same thing isn't happening in practice. But of it is in games, then the coach needs to tell him on Game Day (Slocum said the ball was moving right on him in pre-game) to adjust his alignment.

That was so bad it had to be the hold. Or he stumbled. Anyone see a replay that made it clear?

The first one? Kapinos bobbled it.

It has shown up on shorter kicks only recently. The first half of the season it was only on 50+ kicks. He was making everything under 50. Wasn't he 18/19 at one point with kicks under 50? Then it crept into his 40+ yarders, now into even shorter ones. But it is incredibly consistent. They all look exactly the same. Contrast this with kickers who are all over the place, missing badly right, then left, with no consistency.

It's a funny year for kickers. A lot of good ones are missing a lot of kicks, even short kicks. When it happens with homerun hitters n a season or two, they start analyzing the ball. Maybe the footballs are bad? Maybe the official goalpost manufacturer bought a cheap tape measure that is wrong!

Maybe Crosby would improve his swing if he started having sex with 12+ different gorgeous, high-priced babes.

Is this possible in Green Bay, or will he need to travel?

He would at least need to drink alot first.

Right now we just need a guy that can hit a 40 yarder...bye bye Mason, will be good someday but time to bring in a new guy.

With all the kickers who are struggling this year, I'm not sure there is one available. The Cowboys are bringing Suishim in today for a tryout, and he was cut for missing 20-30 yarders.

[Bossman641]

I'm no kicking coach, but I don't think Crosby's problem is an alignment problem as much as it is finishing his kicks. Like a golfer not getting through the ball correctly, he keeps blocking them out to the right. He seems to be hitting them solid, just isn't finishing the kick.

This is exactly the point I keep making. Sure, Crosby is getting scary. But who's out there who is better? Who's available?

[Smidgeon]

Sure it sucks now, but with his consistency (just a little to the right like has been rehashed) that should be correctable and his NFL strong leg, I think if the Packers cut Crosby, it will be akin to cutting Bidwell: letting someone go who it will take years to replace. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. I think Crosby will be good. He's got an area to improve, but I still think he'll be one of the best.
