I didn’t realize how truly bad he’s been this year. But the question is why?

He is currently ranked #30 amongst kickers in FG percentages with 8 FGs on 12 attempts for 66.7%.

He is ranked 27th amongst kickers in extra points with 16 extra points made on 18 attempts for an average of 88.9%.

Out of our 7 games played, he has missed at east one kick in 6 of those games.

What’s odd is he was an all-pro twice and has a career FG average of 88%. He also has a strong leg which does help with kickoffs.

Did he forget how to kick?

The misses (mostly) are from 50+ iirc. But the missed PATs should get him cut

Good call. He’s 3-7 from 50+ and 5-5 otherwise.

That makes the missed extra points even more of a head scratcher. He had one blocked by the Raiders, but the others are just misses.

Why is he still rostered?

I'm pretty sure they're going to let Charlie kick the remainder of the season coming out of the Bye.

IMO Charlie has the leg but just doesn't have the time on task to have developed the accuracy and the short memory that goes along with being a kicker.

I imagine they will be searching for a new kicker in 2027 though.
