Well they better wake up and see they made a mistake soon rather than compounding it. His trajectory is just too low. Unless they think he can figure it out soon, he's gotta go.

I hear crickets from the Sloman supporters.
They are still waiting for that ‘I told you so moment ‘

Well this is how I feel when he is lining up for an extra point...

If they thought Lirim was the guy, they'd have him on the roster right now.

This is the part that is difficult to understand. I know that they felt Sloman really came on at the end of camp with 40-49 range field goals but didn’t anyone look at his trajectory, even in college, and say, “that’s going to be a problem”.

Fans on this page noticed it after his first extra point kick. Coaches are people, and make mistakes but this one seems to be a pretty big blunder. I wonder who it falls on. I’m going to guess Bonamego. Hekker may be the only thing saving Bonamego’s job if he continues to punt like he has.

I think I'd rather watch Jeff Fisher build an offense than Sloaman attempt another kick.

At this point, I refuse to believe Hekker wouldn't be a better option.

It's not an issue on every kick. Might be mechanical. Regardless, I think that was his final chance. I expect we'll see Forbath against the Dolphins.

I will never fault anybody for having a positive attitude.

Or having trust in the coaches decisions.

But yeah, Sloman sucks. :oops:
Coaching make bad decisions and it’s been apparent with the pick up of Another kicker. You don’t do that unless of an injury or a problem with your current kicker. Period.

Coaches make bad decisions but hey our past coaching made brilliant decisions on Craig Dahl and others in the past, (/blue font) that was brilliant!
(/bl)

Coaching staffs and GM’s, even our current ones, make mistakes and bad decisions. Nothing wrong with recognizing this and calling it out.

And yes Sam Sloman is not that good of a NFL kicker.

And of all the possible mistakes they *could* make?

Not until it ends the season because of his noodle leg.

It’s already effected decisions to go for it on 4th down because there was no confidence in our kicker.

That ice your skating on..

Just came across my phone.

Thank Goodness. Feel bad for the kid but he had plenty of chances.
