I’m pretty sure we’ll lose a game or two this year to kicking, but it’s not too big a deal. This is an improving year to gauge where we’re at
Definitely a concern. 71% in college is not very good. Seems not reasonable to expect him to improve a ton off of that. The good news is if he’s really awful there’s always vets you can sign off the street.
TL;DR – He’s rushing the kick instead of slowing down to give himself a chance to square up.

I miss Mason already
He seems to always miss right which makes it seem mechanical and fixable. Give him time, we are planning to contend for a Super Bowl this year.
Need to bring in a vet at this point
Do we expect to compete for a Super Bowl this year? If not, I see no reason to be worried about him before the season even begins. Especially as it was kind of expected mechanics were something that would have to be adjusted.
Was there ever an official announcement from the Packers on Crosby? Not sure if I missed it or if he just has kind of faded away quietly.
You can coach direction, you can’t coach leg strength. Let him hang around unless there’s a much better option.
He has the ability he just has to slow is down and go through the process. He’ll be fine, but I do think its a good idea to bring in a veteran kicker.
