Missed a 65 yarder just barely wide and it went over the upright…. When you take away the kicking block that is used in high school, you lose some yardage. I don't think 61 yards in high school translates to college ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 61 yards in high school translates to college ball. The 65 yarder he missed the week before would have been good from 75 if on target. The video is on his recruiting thread. Also 61 is the new state record so he’s out kicked all of our previous in state kickers in HS. He may never get a chance to kick a 60 plus yarder in college but he almost certainly has the distance even without the tee. May not get 75 distance he had on the one but I see no issues reaching 60 for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUB78 1,372 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Disappointing to see Mr Clutch to go to Mr. Inconsistent. That 55 yard attempt wasn’t even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting about the Covid extra year. We have a commitment from one of the top kickers in the country already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,875 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 He’s a good kicker but I’ve always thought he was a tick overrated. Not just this year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 14/19 entering the game. Hardly automatic. The Carlsons have huge legs, but they weren't super accurate. Daniel was like 80%. They have a big reputation because of distance, not accuracy.

Over 50 isn't even automatic in the NFL. The blocked FG was thanks to awful blocking up front. Edited November 14, 2021 by Brad_ATX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with our kicking woes today and playing Mss State this had a humor slant. kickoff out of bounds miss fg block fg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the very definition of Unreliable. Just making "most" of your kicks isn't good enough. Hasn't been for a very long time. He’s never been what his brother was/is. But he’s still IMO just above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Carlson was 80.7 percent for his career which puts him 8th all time in the SEC. #1 was 85% for their career. So 80% is extremely good for a kicker. He also never missed an extra point. He is also the all time SEC leading scorer. He was easily one of the greatest kickers in SEC history if not college history. His reputation was far more than just kicking the ball far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a little odd. Maybe it was actually an early concern. Just something I noticed. The point of that segment was to illustrate how doing something right every time would yield a positive result. Ironic, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
