Husky Jacks open thread [2019]

I feel like it's lost in the shuffle that we don't have a kicker that can make a fucking 35 yard field goal...

going on what....6 years of losing the special teams battles?

You would think that Pete would go to Chris sailer's camp personally and recruit kickers.

Goddamn.

The problem is we keep getting kickers from Sailer's camp.

For as process oriented as Peterlips is, every day a grind, every minute a war to get better and better at the sequential order of every fucking breath, every hour a gift from the allmighty to improve and repeat methods and fine tune details, or whatever his philosophy is...

Why do his kickers suck so much? Even at Boise they lost him games.

Angry and questioning over special teams inadequacies PGOS is best PGOS.

Kickers are a fucking crapshoot. Nobody at the college level has any idea how to rate them or recruit them. You can identity who has a strong leg but nobody has figured out how to identify who can handle the pressure in game situations. You get a kid with a strong leg and hope he has the sack to handle the pressure, and the mental fortitude to push through it when he chinevitably blows a game.

Pete keeps whiffing. Hopefully Horn can break the streak. He certainly has the leg.

Based on his high school performance, I'm not optimistic.

I fondly remember FSU recruiting the #1 kicker in the nation to fix their wide right woes, and him sucking too.

Also when UW got Randy Jones, the #1 kicker in the nation who kicked a 59 yard FG for Ferris. He also sucked balls.

Do you have any evidence that his field goal kicking over his career sucks more than normal? Obviously the Nevada choke and to a lesser extent the TCU game the next year stick out but thats not enough to conclude this is a long-standing pattern.

Bring in your top 10 prospects based on film and have them compete for a scholarship over a weekend. Best one gets an offer. How is that for high pressure?

That's only half the battle though. You need to see how they bounce back from a crippling miss. There's no way in that environment for one miss to mean enough to cripple them AND for them to have another big kick afterwards.

Blair Walsh was a fucking machine early in his NFL career. He misses one big kick and he's toast.

I get it, kickers are hard to evaluate. Petersens have still sucked more than they should

Solution - don't be a pussy and go for it every time

 

[Gladstone]

Pete would’ve had two additional undefeated seasons if not for kicking woes. Certainly his Achilles’ heel. That and his offense lol?

This is silly. What elite coach or team wouldn't have won more accolades if they made all their field goals?

Some coaches have more well documented issues with field goal kicking than others. Special teams have fucked up for Petersen far more than you would expect for such a disciplined program.

Prove it.

You have to start off by establishing what would be expected. What is the average FG% in NCAA? Broken down by different distances? On game winning kicks?

You can't just say oh hey, CP lost two games 10 years ago on missed FGs and then one last year ergo, well documented issue.

I'll let you do the analysis on the statistics, Chest. Petersen has had shit special teams for a while, you don't need to do a linear regression on the hypotenusal deviations to recognize it.

No, that isn't how it works.

You're making the claim- you produce the evidence.

It actually is how it works. The consensus is that special teams is not a strong point for the program. You can tell by watching the fucking games. The lone bright spot was Pettis returning kicks.

Your original claim was that CP's FG kickers always suck.

Now you've changed from FG kicking to special teams holistically and from historically to just at UW?
