I wonder if Warm Carlsen will prevail in this battle. I also wonder if Alex Hale has a real shot at making an impression or whether he's just there so the other two don't get worn out in practices.

I’ve heard of a “Dirty Sanchez” but not a “Dirty Anders”. Are they similar?
I watched the replay of the game this morning paying particular attention to the kicker. Now I don’t know from squat about kicking mechanics, but it appeared to me Anders setup is a little bizarre compared to other kickers. It appears that Anders lines up with his shoulders, hips and knees almost parallel with the LOS. All other kickers I watched this weekend line up with their body at 45 degrees to the LOS. I’m a golfer so perhaps I’m over dialed into alignment. Maybe that’s why he’s coming over the top and hooking the damn ball.
What you think Rats with a better take than me?Comment

After watching the game, even though everything was made, I'm sort of inclined to look for somebody cut somewhere else. Carlson looked awkward and barely made his kicks. and Joseph, even though he was straight down the middle didn't seem to have a very strong leg. Either would probably be adequate, but it would be nice to have more than just adequate kicking. Or maybe we're all spoiled by having everything else be so great.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

i think at this point i would go for a guy that is automatic from inside of 40 yards over a guy that might be able to kick one from 60 yards but misses a ton of chip shots
might make the offense be more aggressive and not settle for 55+ yarders like fat mike always use to do with money mase
wasn't there an old guy like that back in the day. leg was so weak he didn't even do kickoffs, but made everything he tried
was in morten anderson?Comment

The results are swinging the other way after Saturdays game. Not good for Dirty.Comment

Gotta think the choice between Carlson and Joseph is going to be decided (not just made) after the third preseason game.Comment

Warm Carlsen got a one-year pass in order to develop - and usually kickers need time to mature and develop - but he's not gonna get a second year. He needs to be aces from now on out. If he is, then he can hang on to his job and maybe become the Hot Carlsen that his brother is. But if he doesn't respond to this pressure with a tight performance over the next couple weeks, he'll get cut and then the Loins will sign him. God forbid he develops into a weapon for them."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Realized I forgot to update this with Joseph's miss at the end of the day:
Joseph went 3/7 on the day
Carlson went 4/6 on the day
Totals for camp:
Greg Joseph: 50/61 - 82.0%
Anders Carlson: 48/60 - 80.0%
Alex Hale: 10/15 - 66.7%

It would seem weird though to sign a guy and just hand him the keys to the kicker car without ever having worked with him on a day-to-day basis. But maybe that's how it goes with kickers. I am wondering if maybe they do bring someone in after cuts to compete with Joseph or Carlsen (whoever wins-by-default).
It has not been a great training camp for either guy. Joseph started well but he seems to be struggling lately, and Carlsen has been lukewarm."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
