The Zane Gonzalez Dilemma

[jmt]

Zane is not a problem. I would be more worried about Lee.

 

[Mainstreet]

I really want to trust Zane but I almost can't watch, even on extra points now.

What a leg though. He has plenty of range on field goal attempts.

he’s a good kicker

I have never understood this guy’s inconsistency. He has cost the Cardinals so many games. How do you miss that one so short?

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Bring back Neil Chokers. Same thing.

short on 49 yader. Middle school kids are hitting those.

I understand missing left or right but to just boot the ball 3 yards short on a chip shot is unacceptable. Rackers never missed a kick in Pop Warner fashion. This was ridiculous

I understand going wide left or right
But short?
Come on man

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

49 yards in today’s world is ridiculous. Sure, they can miss. Bit short is beyond laughable.

when is the last time anyone saw a NFL kicker short?

slye for Carolina came up about 1/2 yard short from 65 a week ago.

 

[Krusher kardinals]

I agree

 

[mjb21aztd]

Zane needs competition next yr

Wish cards had a chris jackie type kicker :*

 

[AZ Native]

Who is available who is guaranteed to be better?

He kicked one today from 67 that had the distance, but was way right.

 

[Big D]

No longer a dilemma. Pretty obvious the guy sucks.

He’s a make one after I miss one type of kicker

Dolphins kicker is a stud

Had a bad feeling on that kick seen it to many times as a cards fan lol

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

After watching the game film again, I see that kick costing the Cardinals a playoff berth. There are many problems on the team (particularly on defense) but you can’t miss a kick like that

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Disclaimer: What I am about to say is not relieving ZG of any blame for missing that kick.

That being said I believe on his first FG the ball actually got deflected, but still went though the uprights. I have to think that he was thinking about that on the missed FG and was trying to hit the ball higher and that caused him to get too far under the ball.

Needs to take some Viagra on an empty stomach so he's not limp noodled next time.

Like air balling a free throw when the dolphins kicker was drilling 57 yarders with ease. Pathetic. Let's not forget he missed one last game and we almost lost because of it.

I haven’t forgotten. He also choked several times last season. Good call Illmatic. That was the equivalent of an “air ball”

 

[iLLmatiC]

Dude sucks. I'd love to get a good kicker that I don't have to worry about hitting an extra point.

 

[JosiahLee]

Take away his game ball from Seattle. I hate Kliff more for not going for it...I felt like the flow of the game said go for the win there. And I hated the 3rd and 1 call, as well as the 4th and 1 call on the previous possession. Why take the ball out of Kyler’s hands/legs when they had been unable to stop it all day? Kliff choked again when the pressure rose.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Probably needs to get cut. Would bet he's mentally toast at this point.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Just once it would be awesome to have a kicker I had confidence when he stepped on to the field for an important kick.

Surely he didn't get a game ball at Seattle? Not after missing the chip shot in overtime?
