Forgot to tweet this after watching OTA last week: the ball just explodes off Carlson’s foot. #Vikings having them go kick-for-kick but the rookie seems like a good bet.

Chad GraffVerified account @ChadGraffVikings kickers each attempted four field goals in front of the team today.
Kai Forbath went 3 for 4, missing from 50.
Daniel Carlson went 4 for 4 with a bomb on his 50-yard kick that would’ve been good from 60.

   Daniel Carlson went 5 of 5 in team drills including a long of 50. Kai Forbath was 3 of 4, missing from 50.

   Carlson has looked impressive during three OTAs open to reporters. The 50-yard FG made today might’ve been good from 60-plus.

Rookie K did good for us couple years back.  Then not so much.  But Forbath is going to be unemployed real soon thats for certain.

I heard that the Seahawks are looking for a kicker!

I would think it's pretty close to decided. Having a strong leg accurate rookie kicker was fun the last time. Hope he doesn't flame out before year 3. Forbath will find a job. Plenty of bad kicking going around. Kia isn't bad just not great.

Besides accuracy alone the new kickoff rules really favor Carlson. Teams now need a guy who can get the ball out of the back of the end zone a majority of the time. It negates the impact of the non running start.
