***Official Seahawks @ Vikings Wildcard Round Game Thread***


Quote:I too have played soccer most of my life and agree with you. I've kicked a football before and I don't see how the laces made kicking it any different. I think it's more of a mental thing. He just hit it wrong, plain and simple. It happens, we are human.
 

I agree as well.  IMHO, it's preference but not necessity.  Maybe there's an affect on spin, etc., but doubtful it's a problem if the swing is consistent.

 

I caught a tweet at the time I can no longer find that pointed the issue with the kick to be a bad foot position that's a common issue with kickers in cold weather.  Not sure what cold weather had to do with it, but I suppose it's possible that our bodies aren't as limber in the cold and we tend to tighten up (like tucking in our shoulders, neck, etc.) and our general posture isn't what it should be involuntarily.
