Competition to try and raise Slyes game. Not giving Slye real competition just ends up handicapping him. 

this is just stupid bro thinking

kicking is almost entirely mental and no one has any idea how to evaluate kickers or coach them

It's been injuries honestly. 

Injured in 2018, his rookie year. Won the job in Chicago in 2019, then got injured again in 2020 and was placed on IR. 

Actually even more reason to not bring him in. The one position you can rarely ever afford an injury is a kicker. Almost everyone just carries one kicker and one punter. 

You just can't be an injury prone kicker.

The team talked at some point this offseason about bringing in a sports psychologist to work with him. That was what clearly didn't work.

Every other NFL team brings in competition for their kickers. Even if they are the best. You would think it’s the smart thing to do. Instead of coddling the kicker and letting him fester in his own mind.

It's just insane the Panthers didn't bring in any kickers to compete with Slye in training camp.

But we've got 2 long snappers.......

Teams head of us on the wire: 

1. Jacksonville - Josh Lambo

2. NYJ - Matt Ammendola

3. Houston - Kaʻimi Fairbairn

4. Atlanta - Younghoe Koo

5. Cinci - Evan McPherson,  Austin Seibert

6. Philadelphia - Jake Elliott

7. Detroit - Randy Bullock, Zane Gonzalez

 

I don't see Jacksonville, Houston, Atlanta, or Philly being a real threat to grab a kicker on the waiver wire. Detroit probably won't either. So really there's only NYJ and Cinci to worry about.

“That’s only some of the major news that’s come from Colts camp during the first week. And buried beneath the headlines is something that could have a major effect on the Colts’ prospects in 2021: A kicker battle is being waged. 

As of a week ago, incumbent kicker Rodrigo Blankenship and free agent import Eddy Piniero began their duel to win a spot on the Colts’ Week 1 roster. 

“Rod had a great year last year, but iron sharpens iron and Eddy is talented,” general manager Chris Ballard said recently. “Eddy Pineiro is very talented, so that will be fun to watch.””

You were saying?
