[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1030821, member: 18006"] Yes, that second point is a little out of the parameters of what we might expect - he seems to do very well under pressure. I read several of his scouting reports from last year, and one thing came up more than a couple of times was that high-pressure game situations don't seem to affect him. A couple of reports said that he seemed to be a level-headed kid who thrives under pressure. Which is a very encouraging trait in a kicker, obviously. But it does make it harder to figure out what the common factor is in his innacuracy. If it's not the stress of the game situation getting inside his head, what is affecting his performance? I know that we're at the "totally unfounded speculation" stage here, but I almost wonder if the answer lies in one of the other common factors in his scouting reports - that he moves through the play much more slowly than other kickers do. Maybe he just takes an extra tenth of a second to make the split-second decisions that need to be made, to successfully complete every step in the process. As you said in another post, he's not the only man involved in the kick. I'm not smart enough to watch his kicks and pick out every single detail, but I do know that Green Bay has had trouble for years finding a truly reliable long snapper - and that there seemed to be a number of kicks last year where the snap either seemed to be at least "an" issue, and some where it seemed to be pretty clearly a big part of the problem (as we saw at least once in the Niners game), but I can't help wondering if there's more to that than we realize. I can't see all the layers of what's happening here, so I just have to trust Bissacia and the coaching staff to see the second and third levels and do what needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
