The Patriots coaching staff had completely lost confidence in Adam's range and by the second half of last year was punting or going for it rather than let him kick many FGs in the 40-50 yd range.
Nowhere was this philosophy more clear than in the Jacksonville first half where on consecutive drives they:
1 - had Adam pooch punt instead of kicking a 45yd FG
2 - went for it on 4th and 10 rather than kick a 47yd FG
This is probably the main reason why Adam is no longer here from the Pats perspective.
He thinks with a dome and a new coaching staff he'll be given the chane to make those kicks which the Pats think he can't do anymore.
And if that's it he is correct. His stats in domes and warm weather climates remain off the charts. It will be interesting to see how Dramatikowski fares in the wind chill environs of the AFCE. :scared:
