I'd send John Carney out there and bang the kick through the posts for the win. What, we don't have Carney anymore? Oh, then in that case I'd go for it.

Yep, and because not much is more of a waste of a football scholarship than a kicker who can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Just keep practicing and having FG competitions in practice. Do whatever you need to do to get his mental game back. There's no way we can play a season acting like we don't have a kicker. They just need to figure out what the deal is. It's got to be mental. The only way through that is for him to start making them in a game. The only way to make them during a game is to actually kick it during a game. Weis going for it on every key fourth in field goal range is not a great confidence booster. At some point you will need him to kick one.

you have to kick there unless you dont have a kicker.

we used to do the free throw thing at basketball practice, someone goes up and shoots 2 if he makes both then there are no suicides if he misses either then you run. and you do it all over again.

give him 2 kicks to have the team not run sprints, he makes em both everyone is happy, if not they just end up doing it like he was in the marines.
