Quote:Aside from Myers PA numbers looking like Shaquille O'Neal's free throw percentage, the ST were pretty good in 2015. 

 

The only time I really remember being frustrated with them were Marshall's fumble and a few coverage gaffs by the punting unit. 
 

 

I know. Myers needs to start every kicking drill with a few 33 yarders so those are gold. I still believe he can nail those better by easing back on how hard he kicks them. I've noticed nearly every PAT attempt of his flies over or near the top of the uprights. It only has to get over the crossbar.


 

That said, looking back at the PAT stats league-wide makes it clear that these are no longer automatic. The Cards kicker going into the NFC Championship Game has missed 5 PATs, just for an example. The Bills Dan Carpenter missed 6, just behind Myer's league leading 7 missed. A total of 29 kickers missed a PAT this season, and 10 of those missed at least 3 PATs. In all, there were 68 missed PATs during the regular season.
