Bottomline: If you are setting up for a FG kick...put the ball in a position to be kicked in the center of the field not on the left hash.
I agree if it's the end of a half or game but on a 3rd down your goal is a first down or td.

Well, over four years we have had three different ST coaching arrangements.
And the assignments have not made all that much difference. Gosh, Casullo was viewed as a great ST coach and he struggled
Once again it's not about the coach. It's about the players.
One thing we are all in agreement on is, it's maddening. When a kicker lines up from 40 on in...we should all be pretty comfortable he will make it. Instead, we fans are on pins and needles cringing at the thought of a missed FG, a block, and even worse, a return!Nah you're right, I've got nothing to base this on other than the notion 'Could he really be worse'. The answer to that without any hard evidence is yeah I guess he could be. It's just maddening that our K is only hitting 65%, not including blocks.
It's a combo of coaches/players-why do major league baseball teams have pitching coaches hitting coaches? Why does almost every d1 football team have ST Coaches-obviously theres a reason-maybe its a techical issue maybe its mental but you need a coach with knowledge about kickers/punters/ko schemes punting schemes etc-Krautman had a ST Coach in Casullo and was 18/19 with no blocks. Since then he's had 6 blocked kicks which we cant correct. Other teams must see a flaw in our blocking schemes and capitalize on it. Whatever it is we are in desperate need of a ST Coach for next season
Yeah so I'm vocal and passionate about my football teams. And if you can't vent frustrations on here then what's the point? Maybe if a few more people were like me in this area then we wouldn't have 1/3 of the seats empty this Sat. No, instead people quietly get fed up and stop going. We have a top 10 team in the country coming, anyone want to bet we don't get over 40k actual fannies in the seats? Fan stands for fanatic, just like me.![]()
Is it overblowing the issue when our kicking team is the difference between where we stand now and bowl eligibility?
At some point you have to look past practice Doug. There are those who excel on gameday and those who don't. We need winners on the field, not those who practice well. I don't care how good somebody is in practice with nothing on the line. We need people on the field who can get it done during a game. We saw the same nonsense with Sales 2 years ago, Doug wouldn't play him because of practice issues. Fact is he was still the best WR on the team last year when it came time to play for real. Now it's the opposite, he keeps sending Krautman out there even though the kid is less than 60% on the year after 9 games. He is 40% from 40+. This is infuriating. Lichtenstein can't be this bad.
