[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 317075, member: 1198"] Pardon me, but I'm not impressed with your soccer credentials. This is FOOTBALL. First, why the hell would I want to play soccer? Second, it's irrelevant. If I had an nickle for every soccer player who thought they knew something about kicking field goals... It's apples and oranges. Have you ever played on a FG squad? Didn't think so. It's entirely relevant! If you have a holder that screws up 40% of the time, his kicker is going to miss a LOT more FGs than a holder who only screws up 5% of the time. As holders go, I've BEEN THERE, DONE THAT for 3 seasons in college. I think I know a little bit about what it takes to do it right. He was considerably more accurate with Flynn. Yeah, because our coverage team sucks. [url=http://www.nfl.com]NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League[/url] Go to kicker stats for 2007 and 2008. Sort by touchbacks. Simple. A monkey can do it. Again with the B.S. touchback complaint. He's kicking high and short because that's what Slocum wants. Longwell also wasn't asked to make 60 yard FGs, which historically have about a 20% success rate. Fine. I have no problem excluding 60+ yard attempts from kickers' stats. They're a statistical aberration. They're usually not successful, no matter who is kicking them. Making them at that distance requires a strong leg, perfect execution from everyone involved and a good dose of luck. Sorry, but the simple fact is that your blame is misplaced. Fortunately, the Packers understand that much more than you do. [/QUOTE]
