Best day of my life

You should get out more.

Okay, just to offer a contrary opinion about Myers...  I know it is extremely aggravating to see the guy miss extra points, and he also missed a couple of game winning kicks against the Colts.   But that said, it's kind of interesting the way the guy can hit 50 yard FGs, and put all NINE of his kickoffs yesterday so deep in the end zone they were un-returnable, and yet miss extra points.   I have to think this is not a talent issue, but some kind of weird mental issue.   I am thinking that maybe if Myers stopped thinking of it being an extra point and started thinking of it being a 50 yard FG, in other words, put the hard swing on it and not the little chip shot he tries for the XPs, then maybe he would hit them more consistently.  

 

Obviously, Gus and Dave think he's got a lot of talent, and they are into developing young talent.   God knows, we have had other young players screw up out there, but if they have talent, we hang in and try to get them straightened out.  

 

 

I'm convinced of Myer's talent after seeing him nail that Kickoff through the uprights after the missed PAT, he was [BAD WORD REMOVED] and I liked to see that kind of emotion coming from him, because we all as fans are [BAD WORD REMOVED] off too. After seeing Scobee essentially get iced and pysched out by Pittsburg i'm all for giving Myers another year or *gasp* even two. He's young like this team, he's got a hell of a freaking leg and plenty of kickers have had really bad starts of their career for several years before immerging as very competant kickers. It really is a mental issue, I'd have to believe, he's probably making them in practice otherwise he wouldn't be a starting kicker ATM. And he's still pretty good at Field Goals too, so it HAS to be mental. If we put some slight pressure on him, try out some kickers in the off-season but still give him a chance I think he'll turn it around.

 

I've always thought of Kickers as golfers in the fact that their game is more emotional / mental than physical. When a golfer's swing is off, he's in for a bout of headwork until he can get it back together. Same thing for kickers. Myers has the physical ability to do it, he just needs to get his head zeroed in on the act.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
