[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 507705, member: 5830"] I wouldn't use the word "a lot." In 2012, teams asked their kickers to attempt 50+ on average 4.8 times. While Crosby was asked to do it 9 times last season, his career average is 5.5 attempts per season - ironically 4.8 times if you consider 2012 an outlier. As for kicking 55+....he did that twice last season, attempting 55 yards against the Giants and 58 yards against the Rams - both misses. He made FGs of 51 and 54 in Week 17 and Week 2 respectively while having misses of 50, 51, 51, 52, 53, 55, and 58. If you look back in the Crosby threads from last year, I was harping on MM's stubborn belief that he could force Crosby out of the slump. In the core of the slump while Crosby was badly missing from close range, McCarthy had him attempt 50+ four weeks in a row, Weeks 11-14. Crosby's FG% for 2012 was certainly lower because of McCarthy. The down and distance on his 50+yard attempts weren't insurmountable by the offense had they gone for it on 4th down. As for longest kicks, Crosby has a couple of 56 yarders under his belt as well as the all-time Packer record of 58 yards. His 69 yard attempt was against the Lions in 2008 on a free kick to end the half. The kick was on target but landed at the base of the goalpost [/QUOTE]
