I like Zuerlein’s big leg and I know he’s a pretty accurate kicker overall, but he’s not “money”. Not like Jeff Wilkins was anyway.

When Wilkins was called upon for a game winning kick you just knew it would be good. It was automatic.

I don’t have that same confidence in Zuerlein. He’ll make the 60 yarder in the 1st quarter but blow the 40 yarder with 10 seconds left in the 4th.

When the game’s on the line, he’s not that reliable.

Jake Long, Wells, Brockers, Laurinaitis, Jenkins, and Bradford were all out.

How do you expect JZ to hit them all without a decent supporting cast?

Do you even follow football?

I have to admit–he makes me nervous when the game is on the line.

Wilkins didn’t make me nervous.

Great kickers elevate the players around them. Even the most casual observer of football knows that.

Okay.

I see exactly where this is going.

All you casual football fans…

We didn’t have our #1 Long Snapper in there… the man who has the name of a Cowboy hero, Jake McQuaide.

He’s the guy who is so good, he displaced a dang LEGEND… the ever revered, Chris Massey…all hail Massey!

Now, if you casuals watched, every snap from Hus… the OTHER guy in there… was in the body of Hekker and completely screwed up the machinery.

Once our Long Snapping Cowboy hero returns, we’ll round up all those kicks and get them to market before they foreclose on the farm.

No problem.

Or something like that…

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

The downfall of the kicking game began with the release of Massey. Maybe he’d come back?

He has transcended daily concerns and risen to a higher plain, where he sits cross-legged in his living room, his mortal eyes shut as his inner eye watches over us with benign indulgence.

It would be nice if he conjured up some luck now and then for his former team, but nooooooooo……..
