if he continues to play like this there will be plenty of crow to go around and I will gladly eat my helping.

Let's see him make a few outside of 40 1st.

I've already got my side sauce ready just in case.

I am humbled.....my thoughts were not positive for him...
But just shows...trust NS

Pretty sure he hit 2 from +40 vs CSU.

He has done a little better. Was it the pressure that caused the early misses? Hope not. Will be more of that late in the season.

Curious, where does he rank in the SEC in number of misses?

46, and a 43 yarder. SLO's spot on with what he's said though...starting off this season we were looking at Pappy from 40 or less and JK from 40 or more.

That said, distance is coming together as the snapper, holder, and kicker get more and more work together.

A little better? He missed two 40+ in the first game and hasn't missed since (including a few 40+ yard kicks.)

And, the biggest thing here is this--it's not all on him getting better. In the first miss against FSU you can easily see the laces facing Pappy, Scott spins it (ball still in motion when contact is made,) and then there's the hold...he pushed it a bit and didn't get good contact. It's not all on Pappy here...by no means.

He's missed two. No more than anyone else. He's kicked more attempts than anyone else in the conference (except one) who has missed two as well.

I thought AJ was a better holder than that...

I don't know why I have sphincter lock up every time we go to kick, but I do. I think it is still ptsd from an arky and a LSWho game.

Years and years of shitty kickers...
And the 2013 AU game that was really bad....and then it got worse...and worse..and worse

Except it didn't. Adam improved each year he was here.

A few kicks here and there have skewed perceptions of the kicking game.

In reference to the 2013 AU game...worse n worse nworse...for the AU game....

It might be a good time for everyone to take a look at the brand spanking new record book and get a history lesson on Alabama kicking. Percentage rates and productivity for Saban era kickers and how they measure up over the history of Bama football. I think you'll see we've done okay on the kicking front. Interesting tidbits: in all of Alabama football, there have been just 21 field goals of over 50 yards make by Bama kickers. 10 of those 21 were by a Tiffin, and 8 of those 21 were made during the Saban era.

On the defensive side, Alabama has blocked kicks that were returned for TDs 15 times in our entire history. Six of those fifteen occurred under Coach Saban. The record book is indeed being re-written each season.

RTR,
