    This is a great video. People don't realize NFL kickers are trying to kick a spot, not the ball. You want a perfect snap & perfect hold so the kicker can just kick through. If he's looking at the ball and then tries to adjust last second, accuracy plummets.

    A comment I saw on twitter yesterday said that in comparison to Sam Koch Stout holds it closer to his body / his helmet is leaning more into into the kicking trajectory so maybe Justin Tucker subconsciously compensates by swinging the tiniest bit to the left to "avoid" hitting Stouts helmet.

    I think every Ravens fan knew this would be an issue once Jordan Stout took over punting/holding duties from Sam Koch, who was one of the best in the business at both. I don't think Stout is bad at either but they maybe jumped the gun on replacing Koch a little too early when they saw a good punter in the draft.

    I think something tiny has shifted in his form and he hasn't been able to feel it yet to fix it. I've noticed that butker, on many of his kicks, no longer releases his plant foot so his form has changed too, possibly to adjust for something. Hopefully tucker gets it worked out. He hits the ball so hard, and has such a strong lean that tiny differences can have a big impact.

    I got into football in 2017, and the Ravens' Wolfpack first made me care about special teams. Morgan Cox as the long snapper, Sam Koch as the punter/holder, and Justin Tucker-they were just so locked in and were together for over seven years. It was like watching a machine run.
    It makes perfect sense that a new crew would affect Tucker's numbers. But yeah, like you said, it's hard to admit that Tucker and the field goal unit have actually been a liability this season. Feels wrong to say it.

    • @ifronnin
      @ifronnin Месяц назад +2

      For me, anything inside 45 yards should be at least a 99%+ completion percentage, barring blocked kicks and botched snaps/holds. Along the same theory, 46-55 yards should be completed 60/40, 56-60 yards should be 30/70, and 60+ yards should be 10/90. The best kickers will be nearly perfect within all of these ranges.

And even then, it required Josh Allen to play amazing, three major turnovers by us, and it wasn't truly over until the very end. We're better this year and the main issue was just figuring out what works with a young team and staying healthy.
      There's just something about the Steelers that confounds other teams, especially when TJ can do his magic and the offense can stay on the field.

    There's no question about it. Aside from 2015, which was an outlier, Tucker's lowest FG% was 89.7 and he was well over 90 in all other years until 2022. Sam Koch was the holder until his retirement after the 2021 season. Since 2022, Jordan Stout has been the holder. Since 2022, Tucker has struggled from 50+ and his highest FG% has been 86.5. Stout is most likely just a far less consistent placeholder. Kickers generally don't regress at this age.

    The exact same thing keeps happening with Koo of the Falcons. Keeps hooking left just like this. It started last season and continues. But his problem seems to be that he's not stepping over to the left before the snap. He's almost directly behind the ball when it's snapped and he wasn't doing that when he was making every kick. I hope he doesn't cause us to lose a playoff game with his inconsistent kicking.

      He’s been aligning like that for 3 years now, and has been good over that span. It’s almost as if kicking is a lot like baseball and players can develop bad habits that take them out of their mechanics over time.

    honest question, as a former futball goalkeeper (goalkicks are probably the most similar thing to kicking a FG i can think of): why are Kickers kicking "a spot" and not the ball? Taking goalkicks we are taught how to mostly send it like 60yd with decent accuracy, i know a round ball helps but it feels like adjusting to kicking the ball would be much less work thank having three parts of a singular machine work perfectly?

    • @Stephens_Rocket
      @Stephens_Rocket Месяц назад +4

      Because the kicker is running up before the ball is placed on the ground, you can't change the action at the last second and keep your technique with confidence, it'll be in the back of your head that the ball isn't where it is 9 times out of 10, it's like trying to kick with the knowledge it might be an air-kick whiff, it doesn't work.

    In an interview with Tucker after Thursday night's game he was talking about the unit (The long snapper, holder. and the kicker). Indicating that the success, and failure was that of the unit. I personally think that if the fault lied with Tucker he would own up to it, so this lead me to believe that the reason for the misses were either the holder or the long snapper, but Tucker didn't want to throw anyone under the bus.
    Problems with the holds makes sense.

  • @wompa70
    @wompa70 Месяц назад +1

    Is this the fault of the holder or snapper for not getting the ball to the right spot? Or is this on the kicker for needing the ball to be at such a specific spot? Genuine curiosity as I have no idea.

    • @LONlG
      @LONlG Месяц назад +5

      Kickers kick a spot. I'd put this on the snapper+holder if anything, but I'm not a professional kicker, holder, or snapper, so maybe there is something I'm missing or maybe all 3 are just off a bit. All I know is that when you kick, there is no ball until your foot is inches from contact, so you are just hoping the holder and snapper do their job and put it where you practice it to be.

    His kinetic chain has altered due to aging. It's difficult to fix because he needs to create new ones to replace the old, and it becomes increasingly difficult the older you get.

  • @ryanb4533
    @ryanb4533 20 дней назад

    Age makes it harder to do the little, almost imperceptible things that make players good. An old pocket passer might still be able to throw the ball as far and as accurate as he ever could, when on time. But when he's a quarter step slow moving around the pocket, or can't rotate his shoulders or hips as quickly as he once did, he'll be ever so slightly off balance or rushed more often. That will result in more off target passes or passes without enough speed on them. It's not that his arm talent has diminished, it's that his ability to make all of the minor adjustments that he needs to make has diminished.
    That could be the case here. It's likely that the snaps and holds we see on Tucker's missed kicks are no different than the snaps and holds he's had most of his career or the snaps and holds on made kicks. He's been with this snapper and holder for 3 seasons and his previous 2 were on par with his career percentage to that point (about one FG worse, which is firmly in the realm of random chance). Tucker might be struggling to make the adjustments he used to make. We're talking centimeters and fractions of seconds.

    I’ve been saying this was going to be an issue this year and everyone said that I didn’t know football. Everyone just wants to blame the kicker when he’s just a third of what it takes for a successful special teams field goal unit. I guess they took Finkles words to heart😂 “If he would’ve just held the ball laces out I would’ve made the FG”😂
