They'd still call it in late.

Yup.
The other thing you get with a kicking competition is finding out if your snapper and holder are part of the issue on misses. There were some shortcomings there last season and GB now has competition at LS and punter/holder too.
And lastly, we now have a new kickoff routine and strategery- so having extra kickers in camp allows them to practice a plethora of options without burning out one guys' leg.
I think Anders + Bisaccia will be fine for 2024
Maybe theyβll keep both, I mean someone has to be inactive
Cupcake for the use of plethora. Enjoy.

π§ Packers fans should HOPE Anders Carlson is the starting kicker week 1.

I heard on the radio today that the Packers are having guys squirt the kickers with squirt guns as they kick. MLF said they need to learn concentration when kicking and soaking them is a distraction that should help them focus better.
I like that distraction way more than getting squirted with a squirt gun.

I hate hate hate that sort of "captioning".
The squirting jokes with the gal write themselves....
Here's Yosh Nijman blocking a FG from Anders brother, Daniel

There's been a lot of handwringing over the kicker competition in Titletown this summer
Currently, Anders ( aka Blonders) is hitting just over 80 % on FGs in camp
Here's Mason Crosby's stats - he was at 79 % for the first 4 years of his career and finished at 81 % after 16 seasons.

The league is different now, but I have to think Bisaccia can squeeze another 7-10% out of his 2nd Carlson pupil; brother Daniel is hitting at 88% these days and that's plenty good enough.

"If Anders Carlson said he was going to kick me in the dick theres a 50/50 he'd miss"
But depending on the person, wide left might be accurate.
I've always been left. Just not that wide though.

Note:
Its vewy vewy important that we all have positive thoughts as Anders steps up to make his kicks this year. So I'm trying some classical conditioning training.
These positive images are what you think about at the Moment of Truth.

Think of it as Anders splitting their uprights
Go Packers
A sort of football motor boating, if you will.
This thread took an interesting turn.
I'm not sure why but I'm rooting for Anders.
Probably time for Rich Bisaccia to receive increased scrutiny.
The organization's ROI for him hasn't been ideal.
Should have had those girls stand behind the goalposts last year!

-2 mediocre seasons of special teams despite being given better resources than his predecessors.

-Stuck with returner Amari Rodgers for way too long.
-Recommended the signings of an erratic long snapper and the drafting of an even more erratic kicker.#firebisaccia - too soon?
Michael the douchebag Rodney, the negadelphian asswipe, dickhead and purveyor of shit-ass opinions ? That Michael Rodney ?
Now there's a guy who truly needs to be shot in the face
Is there going to be a list of the players cut??? Ya know so I donβt have read all the stuff here. I just want a list please.

His XP were a bit of an adventure as well.
Brian Gutekunst says Anders Carlson's future with #Packers didn't come down to missing a 32-yard field goal at end of preseason. Simply saw opportunity to get better at that position. Gutekunst believes Carlson will figure it out and have successful NFL career, but it was time.

Moral to the story: really no need to draft a kicker.
Drafting a field-flipping punter in the mode of Ray Guy who can hold like Whelan may be a reason for a low-round pick, but not a kicker.

Disagree. They drafted Mason Crosby with a 6th. It just didn't work out with Carlson. π€·π»
I'm going to close this thread. Onward....
