Kickers... am I right?

So am I the only one that is wondering if Will came back to soon and is maybe keeping something from the training staff?  its not just the missed FGs,  its the Fd up kick offs as well that have me questioning him.

Did he see Parker Romo kicking ass and get nervous for his spot and decided to try and play through it so as not to get wally pipped?

He doesnt have that stone cold look that he had early in the season,  I am back to having no confidence in our place kicker.

It blows. I had high hopes for Reichard. Back to holding my breath on each kick.

I guess as Vikings fans we have to wake up from the dream sometime. Seems inevitable!

You can just see he has lost confidence in his kicking. I mean how hard is it to keep a kick in the field of play. That fuckup lead to the Lions scoring right before half. I miss Parker Romo.

Vikings remain confident in Reichard

Both Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell and special teams coordinator Matt Daniels said this week the team remains confident in rookie kicker Will Reichard after three missed field goals and a botched kickoff in the past two games.

“I know Will is as confident as any kicker I’ve ever been around in himself and holds himself to an incredibly high standard, so when results don’t happen for him as a young player, I think it shows sometimes and that’s OK,” O’Connell said.

O’Connell said that Reichard’s kickoff error that set up the Lions for three points before halftime on Sunday night was a mishit. Daniels explained Reichard accidentally struck the ball with the heel of his foot trying to boot it into the end zone.

Daniels also likened the delay before the 51-yard attempt Reichard missed in Detroit to an icing, though said it wasn’t an excuse. The officials moved the ball forward less than a full yard on a replay-assisted call after the Vikings kicking unit had lined up.
