It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Field goals are more important.At one moment vs Bengals - when G hit the exact goal line with one of his kicks - it dawned on me as well that maybe the much bigger emphasis on kick-offs this year (namely treating them as punts - meaning that its not only about accuracy in placement but also in extended time of the ball in the air) - and his excellence in execution - might have something to do with field-goals efficiency ..
Of course it is debatable what is more important - better success at FG or KO - in case one technique indeed clashes with the other. What is more important is that in the light of new importance of the KO game that BB embraced with both hands - the evaluation of Ghost's success should take in account both aspects of his game. Excellent at KO, struggling a bit at FG should make for a solid grade.
Yes but missing the XP vs CIN made the scoring and defensive strategy a little more complex than it should have been.Field goals are more important.
Oh for sure. But the post I was responding to was comparing field goals to kickoffs.Yes but missing the XP vs CIN made the scoring and defensive strategy a little more complex than it should have been.
Field goals are more important.
Not sure the various numbers he throws out should be treated like gospel.Here's Rich Hill's attempt of calculating the importance of both. It's far from clear cut you want to make it.
I bet BB put more than one thought in it too.
A closer look at Patriots K Stephen Gostkowski’s field goal funk
In any case it shouldn't be on Ghost. Coaches took calculated risk. Now they'll try to manage it accordingly.
I expect he'll get closer to his usual FG efficiency while continuing to provide ST with a chance to put Pats D in favourable field position after KO.

I'm generally a fan of stat-based looks at things, but if you're saying 4 yards on a kickoff is a good trade-off for missing field goals, I ain't buying it.

But but....Felger and his pet rat said anyone who thought one could affect the other was stupid!
