Use 3D glasses when watching Havrisik kicking field goals. It takes the edge off.

Does Crosby really just not have it anymore? I can’t imagine he wouldn’t be better than this guy.

Crosby and Havrisuck are neck and neck under 40 yards, but Havrisuck has more "potential" whatever that means. :laugh4:

The guy a few of us wanted to try Cade York was just taken by the Gisnts off the Browns PS. I thought he'd have been worth the risk.

What that means is that Havrisik is 15- count 'em fifteen- years younger than Crosby and has room for improvement, whereas Crosby is not going to be getting any better at his age. We have seen that Havrisik has the leg strength; what he needs are composure and accuracy, and these come with experience.

Do I think he's an All Pro? No. Do I think we should offer him a huge contract? No. But he is potentially a solid kicker and we should retain him until something better comes along.

Lucas is pressing on his longer kicks. Easy to see. My guess is it's nerves that cause him slight issues in technique.

ST coach needs to have him visualize the uprights up close on the further kicks. Visualize and attack.
 
If the staff is that high on Havrisik long term and does not want to risk losing him (and I don't think it is much of a risk...), then make the roster spot somehow for another kicker and dress 2 on gameday, so that we have another leg to rely on if necessary. That feels crazy to type, but kicking will be so important down the stretch and into the playoffs, as it always is. I don't think we can risk it by dressing Havrisik alone and just praying there is no total meltdown when even his PATs miss wide by a mile. Gay and Zeurline (remember his kick in OT vs. the Saints in 2018 to advance the Rams to the Super Bowl?) were monumental in our deeper playoff runs as of late. Zero doubt we will need clutch kicking again if we want to lock in our playoff spot and, hopefully, go on a dark horse run.

The NFC is weak. Dallas and Philly are flawed. There is only 1 truly great team in the 49ers (ugh). It could be a good year for a "lesser" team with an elite QB and good offensive coach to get hot at the right time and make some noise with a surprise deep run. The Rams fit htat description better than anyone. Don't blow this by failing to address the kicker position. GO GET PATTERSON! I WATCHED HIM LOTS THIS YEAR WHILE KEEPING UP ON GOFF IN DETROIT, AND HE IS A CLEAR UPGRADE.

He has been so bad that the only explanation for him still being on the roster is they see potential in him.

Or they just don't feel anyone else out there is a better alternative. I was happy that Havrisik adjusted as his kicks were going left and on the 47 yard FG, the snap was high, but that should have not made a difference.

Overall I would like to see them add Riley Patterson to the practice squad and then like the Lions did, have a weekly competition and may the best man win.
