I'm done with him for the 2023 season. I tossed in the towel awhile ago. He's a rookie so I'll give him an off-season with some fierce competition. And he has to be head and shoulders the clear better Kicker in training camp. IF it's close, I'm going with the other guy, period.

A week or two ago one of our TE's stay in bounds to get more yards rather than run out of bounds to stop the clock. Yes, the smart football play is to go out of bounds. However, I did not and do not want our damn FG unit on the field. I will take the few yards and loss of 5-10 (or whatever) seconds. I do not want to see him kick anything other than Extra Points and even that is iffy.

Now let's talk about kickoffs.

One of the things they (scouts) said about Anders Carlson was he had this monster of a leg.

Sometimes, coordinators will tell the kicker to kick it within yards of the goal line. Either 3 yards deep or closer to entice the returner to run it out. This is something to employ vs poor returners, or poor blocking units.

We've seen Carlson boot it out of the end zone earlier in the season. So what the heck is going on?

I've noticed he gets a LOT of hang time, but aim it lower and go out of the end zone!!

I would like to hear Rich Bisaccia explanation on if he's coaching this.

I hate kickers, yes hate. If you can't kick it in the end zone, why are you still on the roster? What kickers are out there packing groceries? Or shoveling snow for the Bills?

They had Carlson kick short. Dallas started at the 24, 14, 25 (Touchback), 45 (not Carlson's fault), 24, 31 (penalty brought it back to the 22), 25 (TB), 25 (TB)
You can see by the time the Packers kicked off late in the 3rd the game was well in hand so they kicked away for touchbacks.
Dallas only had one return that brought it beyond the 25. That was just before the end of the first half.

Bisaccia said Carlson has done exactly what they’ve asked on kickoffs

---

I'll give up a kickoff return average starting at the 30 if it meant we had a kicker that was 95% accurate on FGs or had a leg were we didn't even take a second to attempt a 58 yd fg like a lot of other teams have working for them.

The kid is a rookie. They knew and we knew this season would have ups and downs.

He's being told to kick it high and near goal line. That's what he's doing. If they can correct his damn FG accuracy in off season, we might have a good one.

If they don't bring in legit competition I'll be a little ticked. He's shown in 2023 season he's not earned it for 2024. In my opinion, he needs to be head and shoulders improved in training camp to earn 2024.

I'm done with his ass for 2023 season though. Go for it on 4th or punt.

---

I have a feeling he will be the reason we lose a playoff game.

Might be an issue with the snapper.

---

Please leave this bastard in San Francisco. Don’t let him on the plane. Cut him immediately, he is straight trash. Find a new kicker in the off-season, I’m done with him.

no. the issue is the kicker
