TigerFanAU 586 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Carlson was waived by the Vikings on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports. This news is hardly surprising after Carlson missed three field goals in Sunday's tie with Green Bay -- a game in which Carlson missed a potential game-winner from 35 yards out in overtime. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Vikings are expected to sign veteran Dan Bailey to replace him. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/daniel-carlson-waived-by-vikings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 33,964 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 He missed 3 dang kicks. Welcome to the NFL. At a packer watch party when it happened. Can’t do things like that especially against a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,643 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 He was oddly off last year as well. It's like a batter, sometimes you get in a funk and sometimes it costs you your job. I personally wouldn't have cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure their fans would have been ok keeping him after yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,968 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Translating kicking success from college to the NFL is among the most difficult in the sport. Most of the best kickers in the league came from no-name schools and were not Garza winners. Carlson wouldn't be the first "hyped" kicker to flop in the NFL; the same thing happened with the kid from FSU who Tampa stupidly drafted in the 2nd round. Being a good kicker in college really doesn't seem to mean a whole lot in terms of predicting future success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,664 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Here is what was my problem with not only Legatron but also Cody Parkey our other NFL kicker currently. I may be wrong on this but did they have any traditional walk off field goals in their career with AU? I do not believe so. I am like 99% sure it never happened with Legatron. Less sure with Parkey but still pretty confident. I know Legatron had the game vs LSU in 2016 where he won the game by himself but I am talking like a walk off field goal like Byrum in the swamp in 07 or Byrum to win the natty or Damon Duval to knock off number 1 florida in 01. Wes Byrum will always be my favorite AU kicker for this reason. I thought he was the most clutch. And that at the end of the day is how kickers are judged. Especially in the NFL. How they kick in the pressure moments. Legatron had never really had those kind of moments till yesterday in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
