Please Cut Specs

Damn, as I type this Succop misses a 36 yard field goal. The Tits kicker missed a game winning field goal too. Like Racehorse mentioned, it seems to be a league wide problem outside of about 5 kickers.

Maybe, but Ballard does seem to get hard ons for some players: Banaogu, Campbell, and apparently Blankenship. Reich should check him on that.

If Ballard has a hard on for Blankenship, then he needs to go too. Reich may be afraid of Ballard though.

Ballard probably does considering he let Badgley walk and only brought in another PS guy to compete w/ Specs. Either way it's a big fucking issue when your coaching staff doesn't trust their FG kicker to hit a 33 yarder, which is what happened today

Yep, I agree.

Asked repeatedly about the Colts' kicking situation, Frank Reich doesn't exactly give PK Rodrigo Blankenship a vote of confidence. He deferred most questions. It seems at the very least that the team will work out some kickers. A move could be coming. We'll see.

Reich: "Guy had a bad day, does he have the confidence to bounce back? Do we have the patience for him to bounce back? Those are all of the things you work through."

In the past, Reich **almost always** gives his players a vote of confidence.

Colts can't keep ignoring this issue.

More roster evaluation coming later this evening in meeting between Reich and GM Chris Ballard.

They're correct. He usually does give a vote of confidence. Reminds me of the tone regarding Carson Wentz before they shipped him. Hopefully they get a guy and pull the trigger.

Do you remember how many games we lost in 2019 almost directly from Adam Vinatieri falling off a cliff? Wasn't it like 3 or 4 games?

Yeah, they’re at least going to look at kickers. For Reich, that was pretty serious criticism.

I'm fine with specs...

Pierce dropped a TD...

We did that weird ass direct snap to hines on 4th down...

We roughed the kicker when we had them kicking out of the back of their end-zone...

Guessing that if any of the above came out differently, we would not have to be talking about specs today.
