Ryland's had one of those "everything that can go wrong, will go wrong" years. Early on, he missed 2 that were on the center, then a third from 50+ in the wind and rain.
Kicking is all about the strength of the leg, sure, and, more importantly, what's in the head. Remember Vanderjack? I hope he gets over the yips. He SHOULD be a very good NFL kicker. He was great in college. But it's a mental game more than anything else for him.
And yes, I'm one of those "root for the player" posters, rather than the "I hope he sucks so I have more ammunition to ***** about BB" posters...
