WHAT IS THE FATE OF THE DIRTY ANDERS ?

[Bretsky]

PICKED UP A BUNCH OF FYI"S TODAY

There was a time where everybody thought Joseph had donw the job. It was about 2.5 weeks ago and he was hitting on nearly everything Went on a hot stread when he hit over 95%. They he fell back to earth. Now nobody knows in terms of the Packer reporters covering GB.

To be honest they are not confident with any kicker there

Anders has been just shy of 82% though total camp
Joseph has been just above 79% the whole camp.

Typically they want kickers hitting at least 88% in camp. So both are sub par.

THE NEWBIE....sounds like he's hands down the strongest leg, but he's hitting around 67%

So most feel Anders has the slight edge, and many feel our kicker this year might not even be in camp right now.

One of the Packer reporters also noted it's Melton, Heath, or Dubsone trying for 2 of the last three spots.

What was interesting is most think Touri is done in GB

Today I doubt they go for it on 4th and 4 in FG range at all just so they can pressure warm Carlson a bit. He is competing against every K who will be cut soon.

Just read a very informative article. Joseph is a vested veteran meaning if he makes the 53 his salary is guaranteed. Dirty anders isn't. I think that is a tie breaker for Anders at this point.

And if you believe like I do, that this competition is season long, its a big tie breaker.

The fact we have to be praising a kicker is a problem. We should barely be knowing his name when he comes out, makes that money, and then goes back to the sideline.

6 for 6 when it doesn’t count means nothing. Has he even hit 6 kicks (FGs or XPs) in a row in real games?

SoAnders might make the initial 53, but depending on other teams cuts, he might not make it to game 1.

MLF was asked in his PC about the kicker situation. Part of his answer was "We'll see what happens just around the league" If Carlson is the kicker, he's hanging by a very thin frayed thread.

From what I understand, Bitch Risaccia was instrumental in the Packers drafting Warm Carlson. Note to Guter: don’t let your ST coach do any more scouting.

Also, as Red suggested, wouldn’t it be cool if the Packers traded the extra wide receiver for someone else’s #2 kicker? Cripes, this has been a shitshow. We’re all excited that the Packers might pick up someone else’s discarded kicker.

Warm AC was ineffectual as usual yesterday, although he is clearly the best we have currently. The fan just doesn’t move air like it used to. There has to be a nice ice bath somewhere for us to plunge into.

The Packer commentators yesterday said that bad day in practice for all three kickers was wind and weather related.

Most of what I've seen from Joseph, he puts them right down the middle and looks smooth and comfortable doing it. Carlson, in addition to being a little less consistent, just looks shaky - kinda weird form, a lot of his makes have been disturbingly close. I'm assuming he makes so little that the vesting of salary thing doesn't make any difference even if he got replaced later.

[Fosco33]

5 out of Mason’s first 6 years were below 80% accuracy on FGs (and he was 21/33 in 2012 for 63% accuracy).

I’m all for competition but like Aaron, Jordan, Mason, DaVante and Rashan - early year performance (or sitting out) is not indicative of long term success.

I hope Carlson has a long career with GB.

Miss him yet? Joseph available?

[MadtownPacker]

The crowd should tar and feather his ass.

4 weeks into the regular season and we still don't have a kicker

[MadtownPacker]

Rodgers said he will trade his kicker for nards.
