WHAT IS THE FATE OF THE DIRTY ANDERS ?

Why not? Go on 4th down more too.

We talking about kickers not punters you savage. If the odds are close to 50% on 2s it might pay off. Just need to get every other conversion which seems doable. Then if you get them all you get a nice edge on the score.

I feel like going on 4th and not getting it is more deflating than Fritz trying to flirt with the 25yr old salesgirl at Macys cologne department. Just makes you feel down when you thought glory was so close.

I'm talking about kickers. Kickers are used for more than extra points! They kick the occasional field goal too.

My point was too not bother kicking field goals. Just go for it.

It sounds like the way my wife used to go shopping at the bargain bin.

As important as the kicking game is, I'm surprised more teams don't spend a little more draft capital to get a good one. Maybe Philly was smart to draft that Michigan kicker, Jake Moody, in the third round last year. The guy is good and has a big leg. And he's theirs for another three years.

When the supply of kickers far exceeds the demand for kickers, the law of averages indicates that plenty of NFL quality kickers can be found on the streets of Baltimore. No need to waste draft capitals on fucking kickers. Packers shoulda signed Younghoe Koo when the dude was a-wandering about and around on the lonesome streets of Baltimore.

Punters, on the other hand, gotta trade up into the 3rd for them studs. No wonder Mike Sherman ain’t ever missed the playoffs as GM.

Well, Greg Joseph apparently nearly shanked a 47-yard attempt yesterday, so if the snap and hold and blocking were okay, then Joseph missed a chance to Saran-wrap the hopes of Warm Carlsen once and for all.

I wonder what soon-to-be-cut kicker from another team will appear on the Packers' practice squad at the end of summer.

[texaspackerbacker]

I just checked, and the deadline for roster cuts isn't until the 27th. I wonder if a little trade maybe for a 7th rounder or something might be in order if we see a back up K on some other roster who looks better than what we have.

To the 11 rats that said Carlson is the guy for the season, have you changed you mind after all this shit? None of these guys are cool cats out there.

I have to wonder how the numbers would come out for that. If always done when in normal FG distance it could work. Might have won the niners playoff game using that strategy. Warm Carlson made 2/3. Had the offense gone for it instead of those three attempts and been successful getting a TD twice.

I don't think Greg Joseph has been good enough to move on from Carlson. Considering how Carlson's brother improved after a few years, I would think we would be a little more patient, but if we have to go with someone else, I don't think it's Joseph.

I agree. Joseph's stats the last few years with the Vikings aren't much better than what Carlson did last year. And he's had some rough games at Lambeau later in the season. Might as well go with the young guy and hope he works things out. Or sign someone off waivers.

This was my prediction

I think GB should move on from both the Dirty Anders and the dirty , but beloved, Dillon

Agreed. What’s the point of moving on from a young player with upside when the vet you’re thinking of replacing him with has stats that aren’t much better AND has shown that playing in the cold of Lambeau really affects his game?

As others have said, there’s probably another kicker out there on someone else’s roster who will eventually be brought in to compete with and perhaps eventually replace Warm Carlsen. Now, timing has a lot to do with all this - a team might chop a kicker earlier than the final cuts, so the Packers could bring that person in for a mini-competition. Or they could get someone out of final cuts and offer that person a PS spot. Or will Guter/MLF go full Sherman and keep TWO on the roster???

I agree they probably should, but they probably won't. And we'll win win win anyway hahahaha.

As I said. I think Carlson starts the season, but they will rotate PS kickers until they find a suitable one. Unless Carlson is lights out through 8 weeks....

The statistics are surprisingly against kicking field goals. Stats say you never kick the field goal if you have 4 or fewer yards to go.

[Patler]

Joseph has made just 7 of his last 15, has fallen behind Carlson overall, and is below 80% since the start of camp.

The decision may well be made even before the final preseason game, to give the "winner" all of the kicks in the last game.
