He was great in college. I don’t understand how kicking field goals would be any different in the NFL.

Also, while we’re on the topic, how is Cole Tracy not in the NFL. He was as good as it gets in college.

Notoriously difficult to kick in Cleveland being so close to the lake.

NFL expects you to make everything from within 50 yards these days and a majority of kicks under 65 yards. Cole doesn’t have that kind of leg.

He wasn’t great in college, he was horribly inconsistent from 40-49 but people forget about it because of the long kicks and none of misses really mattered.

I think he was trying too hard to take his preparation and technique to a new level when he got here, and he admitted as much himself. He felt like that he, as a highly-drafted pro, needed to rethink everything he was doing and make sure he was absolutely perfect. Basically, it seems like he was over thinking every aspect of his technique and as the misses began to pile up (and there were some bad ones) the self-doubt started to creep in. He was a mental basket case by the time he was let go. I hope in a more relaxed situation, he'll be able to regain some confidence.
