Im hoping for less thrill and just boring old make everything automatic Will. Our kicking game doesn't need to be a trip to an amusement park.

Yep, he seems to take those bad kicks and compound them. maybe he needs to hang out with the QBs, they dont have the luxury of dwelling on their misses.

I kicked a little in HS, I understand the frustrations of doing everything you can to get your mind focused, your setup right, and then one little thing goes a little sideways and you are the scape goat. I am likely still the only person that doesnt hate on Walsh for missing that frozen FG at the bank against the squawks. Its an easy physical job, but the mental angle is as hard as the PGA, maybe harder if you think about 1 kick can ruin a career, at least in golf you have 2 or 3 more shots and more often than not more holes to go to right the ship. Kickers only get a few shots a week to salvage their reputation.
