Gostowski is spotty and basically played for his job today. Our rookie sucked in training camp. We let go of Koo who has proven to be decent. We were stuckIf Folk makes the field goal in the first half all the need is a field goal. Not sure why BB is sticking with him.
Rohrwasser cannot be any worse than Folk.. give him a chance, sooner rather than later.
When Folk went out for the 51 yd. field goal, said oh f....
I'd agree in most circumstances. However, it's not that simple with kickers. They're among the most fragile athletes mentally of any sport in existence. If he gets out there in real games and starts missing at a high rate, he may never get good or recover. The practice environment might be better forb him at this time.The way I see it: If Belichick drafted Rohrwasser as our long-term kicker, you might as well let him kick to gain experience. If he sucks, so what? Nick Folk is bad, and the rest of the free agent kickers don't look too appealing either. Give him a year to improve, see if he's worth keeping next year.
Just need a holder....maybe drop kick? What’s flutie doing?For long FG’s, just let Bailey kick it, cant be any worse than **** folk
I was going to suggest that Folk shouldn't take too much heat for missing a 51 yarder, and that some blame should be put on the offense for losing two yards on the prior play. However, that shank would have missed from 35, and the average success rate for 51 yard kicks between 2014 - 2018 was about 80%, so I will go ahead and blame the kicker.
Bill had an entire offseason to find a capable kicker. Instead he wasted a draft pick on someone who couldn't even make the team or beat out disastrous, washed up kickers. Having a kicker incapable of hitting a 40+ yarder is going to be a serious killer for us. How hard is it to identify a competent kicker?Because we don’t have a better option.

'if he sucks' could cost us multiple games.The way I see it: If Belichick drafted Rohrwasser as our long-term kicker, you might as well let him kick to gain experience. If he sucks, so what?

Seeing how many bad kickers there are around the league, I'd wager it's not as easy as you think.Bill had an entire offseason to find a capable kicker.
