I hate having a weak kick off kicker. Still shaking my head on why they passed on strong legged Lirim Hajrullahu

I admit that I was disappointed with the missed extra point, but every kicker in this league has missed an extra point - even the Ravens kicker, Justin Tucker.

I'm pro-Sloman. It's gonna take a whole hell of a lot to change that. :p
You and me both, there are people that give me the impression they're just waiting for him to mess up so they can come slam him and gloat about it.

Sloman improved every year in college. I think he can do the same in the NFL.

Funny how people are pissed off at him for 2 XP misses and we should have kept GZ, who also has 2 in one less game. People point to Ficken, who was worse for us than Sloman has been. There's just no thought to the hate this guy gets. Let him as a rookie work through it. If McVay makes a change we'll support that kicker too, until then it's Slammin' Sammy time!

Or that he missed a 53 yard field goal in Buffalo that he kicked into the wind - which would've been a problem with Zuerlein. But no, his body language is terrible.

We have to wait a year for improvement?
Almost always do with first year kickers. GZ got better his 2nd year then regressed again the following 2 years. People seem to forget about that. Not all rookies are pro bowlers right out the gate especially kickers.

So you're assuming that every time we kick off McVay wants him to do that? There aren't times when McVay wants them to return the ball?
