Kickers... am I right?

[JimmyinSD]

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.

Probably in his head. Daniels said he was fully healthy before he came back and that IR rules were the only reason he was out a full four games, so you have to believe that to be accurate. But did it mess with his head a little? His timing? His mojo? Maybe so. Kickers are a funny lot.

His father would like a word....

Icksnay on the Reichard dad jokes....

Will Reichard's father was Gary Reichard, who passed away in 2016 from pancreatic cancer.

Gary was Will's first kicking coach, training with him on weekends and taking off work to take him to practice. 

Will honors his father by pointing up to the sky after making a field goal.

I never knew Reichard's father...or that he passed away. The dude above is from the Olympics. Has to be one of the funniest Olympic images I've ever seen, besides of course the break dancer. Hand in pocket, steely eyed stare. Central casting hit man right there.

With Romo kicking so well, I never understood why we brought him back so soon and did not wait until he was fully healed. Think he came back too early, missed some kicks that first game back and that his confidence has not been the same since. Kickers miss 50+ kicks, but the one last night was pathetic, not even close and the kickoff was no excuse, that was just a lack of concentration that cost of 3 points and swung the momentum going into the half. I am not sure if we can get Romo back, but would if we could as I do not think is dependable for the playoffs.

I think its worth a discussion,  however I think that would likely be the end of Iron Will in MN.

Something isn’t right

He's gotta still be hurt or else why is he flubbing kickoffs which are relatively low pressure situations for most kickers?

I don't know. But yes I am worried about it, and anyone who would feel otherwise must not be watching the games. He's a different player than before he got hurt.
