People seem to forget that before last season they were messing with his approach on his kicks, which i never understood. WTF would you change something that he has been doing all his life. I can see changing a qbs passing technique but a kicker you don't mess with that. I think its really a 70 % physical and 30 % mental and you mess with his technique he losses his confidence and start wondering why he needs to change it.
Thats just my opinion and also something was really messed up last year. Did they change the football or something because look at how many missed fgs there were and the real shocker was who was missing them.

He wasn't exactly automatic before that, either.
I think that the style change was necessary. Whether or not Crosby himselfs buys into it is a big part of how effective it will be. I can see last year being some kind of transition year with this year being his last year to prove himself.
Like said before, kicking's as much of a mental game as it is physical. If you don't bring any competition in now, Crosby will obviously feel like they're good with him and don't need another player. That should be a confidence booster.
If he still can't get it done then, he's not going to get it. Ever. We can just go out and look for another kicker.
