Some more perspective.
Out of the 34 active kickers throughout the 2017 season, only 12 have made 100% of thier FG kicks heading into week 5.
So, consider that about less than 2/3rds of NFL kickers have had "issues" one way or another at some point or another.
Furthermore, we just watched Greg Zuerlain, who until today's game was on top of the NFL leaderboard for FG scoring with 14 out of 14 attempts made, miss pretty much from the same range as Walsh did. They are human.
I understand Walsh shanked a kick-off but imo it seemed at the very last second the ball probably moved in or off the tee just as it did seconds earlier.
Also, didn't both his XP and FG miss hit the upright. If so, he has been near perfect with narrow misses that doesn't seem suggest he has huge accuracy issues or bad mechanics that we should be terrified of compared to the rest of the league.
I mean there are probably 5-8 teams with real issues with kickers costing them games.
If you're in the camp of "It's only a matter of time" with Blair, failing him for a few negative plays amplified by his past, and just tuning out his success. That's kind of a dumb way to detract.
The guy currently is now 10 for 11 with a 91% success rate on FGs. He has yet to kick over 50 yards but his 49 and 48 yarders made today showed he probably has the leg power to hit in that 50-55 yard range.
Just keep Walsh out of that South end zone at the Clink (the direction i think both his misses have come in) until he's more comfortable kicking into that difficult swell. Some of us might remember Hauschka highlighting this topic at some point in the past although some quick searching turned up nothing vital.
