Would be awesome if lambo could straighten things out again. Rooting for him, but he needs to be on IR for the time being.

Matthew Wright had a nightmarish Training Camp this summer with the Lions before getting released a few days before the first pre-season game.  It felt like the type of situation that it was beat for both parties to move on.  With Wright needing some time to regroup.  

It looks like Wright took the first step in getting back on track, in landing the opportunity with the Jaguars.   Being that Wright got another opportunity as soon as he did after his struggles likely signifies that he has plenty of upside potential.

I agree with putting Lambo on I.R. I don't wanna give up on him, but he needs to step away and get right. In the meantime, we need a decent kicker. There are some pretty good ones out there. I don't want Matthew Wright kicking for us at all. I trust him less than I trust Lambo right now.
Im expecting a win against the bengals hoepfully

So hopefully that match is also a turning point for lambos form atm

What makes you not trust Wright?  He's 4-4 on his career and hasn't missed a kick yet.  Have you seen him missing kicks at practice or something?

I prefer my kickers to have strong legs. His NFL long is only 46 yards and his career long in college was only 50 yards. That seems pretty weak.

That version Matthew Wright is what the Jaguars are hoping for, not the one from this summer.

Lambo got the Twisties too. Dang, this stuff is contagious.

He can miss as many as he wants in practice as long as he makes them in the games.  Some players get better under pressure and some fold

Let's be clear - if Wright can't make a thing over 35 yards but is automatic below that, he'd have scored more points than Lambo so far this season.
Like Sampson of old, once Lambo lost his hair he's lost his talent.

I'd rather an accurate kicker under 50 than a kicker that can make 50+ kicks but isn't so accurate on your mediate kicks like Myers was for us

100% agree. 

The hardest thing is consistency for kickers.

I hope that Matthew Wright fits the category that you described.   His first FG attempt ( assuming he has an attempt ) with the Jaguars could easily be the most important kick of his NFL playing career.  Confidence can make an immense difference..

A kickers confidence is arguably one of the most important mental traits that impacts their game - hence why I think we saw Urban Meyer continuously put out positive messages to Lambo despite his woes.

Agreed.

In addition to what you mentioned,  the confidence level of a Kicker can easily carry over to the team as a whole. Including, to the Coaching Staff.
Even though its not much, our new kicker Wright played well making the PATs as expected of him.

It sucks that we've fallen to this point where we gasp every time our kicker is called but I hope we find consistency at that position with Wright.
