Anders Carlson was not good in 2023, yet, he somehow was better than Mason Crosby rookie season. Or maybe I should say less bad, lol. Aside from that, I am not seeing anyone that's worth bringing in that isn't -out of the frying pan and into the fire- kind of difference.

This morning the Packernet podcast threw up some rather average stats that people want in a kicker. There were o0nly two that qualified. Crosby never reached that level and Ryan Longwell on had a 5 year span that he achieved it over his 16 year career. I forget the standards 86% of FGs made. 95% of PATs or something like that.

The thing about Greg Joseph is he kicked in a dome and was still cut. The Vikings have a rookie and they don't even want a camp battle between them.

Should have far more aggressively pursued Jake Bates as competition for our kicker. Rich did not want that for his boy, imo.

As to IPP program, there has been a rule change. In the past, an IPP player sitting on the practice squad was ineligible to be elevated to the 53. Effective this year, he may be elevated for up to 3 games.

I keep reminding myself (outloud) that Crosby was less good during his rookie season and ended up being a decent kicker. It's not because I want Anders Carlson, but rather because I just think he's going to be the kicker so I am trying to be glass half full. I also remember how erratic the snapping was and sometimes the hold was. We saw how those impacted a decent kicker in Crosby, but that just feels like I'm trying to talk myself into it. Blah. Kickers!!!

It seemed like a lock Bates was going to Lions and I'm not sure there was much that Packers could do. I could very well be mistaken. It just seemed every time I heard Jake Bates, the Lions were mentioned right after. It felt like a foregone conclusion.

When Carlson hits a 53 yarder to win the Super Bowl all hate will stop.
























Until training camp the next year.
