Re: New Saints kicker Kai Forbath sees ‘kicker-friendly’ environment in New Orleans
Long-time friend of mine who's coached kickers at all levels except NFL (though he's had one sign there) talked about timing facets as well...
He equated better kickers to having a faster kick swing - like a baseball batter's swing speed... The better kicker's having a faster swing in their kicks not only aids in some power (he talked about core strength/torque as well), but the faster the kicker swings his legs leaves more time for better placement by the holder... Given Forbath's miss in the Colt's game did have a poor snap and placement, nonetheless, a pro kicker should still be able to "chip it in" even with the new PAT distance... We just f***ed up letting Hopkins geaux... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
