I dont trust kickers at all. They are odd shaped people that do this one weird thing on a football field and at any given point it may not work for reasons that are unknown. Its almost as bad as betting on roulette.
idk what levers Canales was puling behind the scene but whatever it was appears to be nothing short of magical. No one expected the spanish inquisition... I mean for BY to turn it around like this! No one!
the good news is the dude can RUN and he is not at all afraid to take on tacklers in the run game... some of his breaks at the top of routes, fighting thru defenders... theres a lot to like about XL the rookie.
hes certainly not the culprit but rookies are gonna rookie. those live reps hes getting are awesome for his development, he should have a very clear picture of what to work on in the offseason.
hes gotta learn to catch with his hands. the little hops and whatnot will go away when he learns to extend and catch the ball before it gets into his body. It'll also allow him to keep running thru the catch and his yac opportunities will increase.
Hes gonna have to put some work in this offseason but apparently the dude isnt afraid to grind.
