Carpenter had second highest amount of PAT misses.

[HHURRICANE]

There were 71 misses in the league this year of which Carpenter had 6. Only Jacksonville had more with 7.

So basically he was almost 10% of the misses in the league. Not good.

His own helmet has better aim than does Carpenter.

And somehow he was 23 of 27 on feild goals.

Weird.

Re: Carpenter had second highest amount of PAT misses.

They should have him come into camp with competition. I did see a couple misses were a result of the laces not facing out.

Our punter is excellent but maybe he isn't a consistent holder and needs to be replaced. Just a thought.

Which leads me to believe it became a mental thing with him.

A mental thing? Of course it's a mental thing. He's a kicker!

Re: Carpenter had second highest amount of PAT misses.

It's strange how nervous I would get on an extra point, but lining up for a 49-yarder I had no doubts. Maybe I have a kicker's psyche.

The Canisius High School kicker kicked a 63-yarder this year. Broke the record of 62-yards that stood for one year.

Anyhoo...Carpenter is history. He did well, but not well enough that I would shed a single tear for him. It was satisfaction enough that he was a former Dolphin and he,lped us beat those bums a few times. See ya.

He's most likely done. If he is indeed brought back it better be along with 2 or 3 more noobs to push him during camp. We can't go into 2016 with a guy that misses one extra point almost every 2 games on average.

He usually has a 3 year shelf life with a team but usually sucks on his 3rd year. He wasn't as bad for us this than he was with the fins in his last year there.

Considering the state of the offense the last few years, he was a lot more familiar with kicking FG's than XP's. So, really, it's not that surprising.

It was more than a couple, but hopefully they see the same stuff on film we do. Almost wonder if that's not why they kept him. Challenge him in camp and may the best man win. This two kickers thing has to go though.

so now 8% is almost 10%
I see the glass half full so I say he missed just a little over 6% of the league misses.

I see your point. What was his field goal percentage compared to the rest of the league

Re: Carpenter had second highest amount of PAT misses.

I never looked up the numbers, but he had always seemed better on FG's than XP's. You'd think it would be easier to think of XP's as FG's now that they pushed them back. Just bizarre.

Re: Carpenter had second highest amount of PAT misses.

I don't think his misses is what will get him released, it's that he doesn't kick off as well. That was the same for Norwood. Everyone assumed it was the Super Bowl miss.
