Cade York is out.
-
Cade is struggling mentally to focus. I get his struggle. I shoot pool in a league , and sometimes when things aren't clicking upstairs you miss shots that you make 98-100 times. It drives you fucking absolutely crazy. I've made this shot 100 times..........WTF is going on??? Then it clicks. And you can't miss............you can fucking TRY to miss but nope you make your shot. I know its stressful as a fan, but Cade has the talent. If he goes half the year and sucks, then replace him. And missing 1 field, does not mean he sucks. If he goes 5/11...........that sucks.

I get it too. I really do. But imagine a team that's never made it to a Super Bowl and you're in a game that comes down to a kick that sends you to the playoffs, or to the Super Bowl, or one that puts the Lombardi trophy on your mantle. When it comes down to it, he really needs to make his kicks. It's his only job and he needs to get it done or we get someone who can.

He really kind of redeemed himself in making those three FG's but really missed it big time when it needed to be counted. Just hope he can really get over those and redeem himself.

I was just a kid, but from what I remember, Dawson took a couple years before he became the Phil we all knew and loved.

I understand your point...that his missing FG's has affected his mental state...which is a positive feedback loop resulting in more missing of FG's. But this is the pros. All positions require the player to be able to handle it mentally. It's part of the job. - An owner might say, Look! It doesn't matter to me why an able bodied kicker misses FG's to the extant that he's consistently rated among the league's worst kickers! I need someone who can kick it such that we win!

Last year in fact the week after he won the game in carolina. He said, Im paraphrasing here( he said one week you are the goat the next you can be in the outhouse) Dude jinxed himself

Cade is a good kicker, but he likes the long FG tries. If I was Stefanski, I would tell Cade I wasn't going to let him kick over 45 yards until he started making those kicks at an 85% clip.
Field position is still a thing in football. If we aren't spotting the ball on the 35 yard line, you aren't going to get to kick. We will just go for it on 4th and 8. Heck, pooch punt.
-
He seems like someone who is working hard to improve.
My main concern is Watson, mainly because we invested everything in him.
-
Since none of the special teams coordinators were former kickers or punters, they really do not coach up kickers.
Dave Zastudil, former punter of the Browns, flat-out admitted this today on 92.3
i made that same point some days ago.
I mean, we've got so many coaches and front office people that they're falling out of windows. We can't bring in a kicking coach?

There's actually several in the NE Ohio area. My son went to several kicking camps in the area....can't remember the guy's name, but he was from Geneva & was great.

Robbie Gould
The oldest kicker on this list, Gould is heading into his age-40 campaign as a free agent after having spent the past six years with the 49ers. Last year, he saw full kickoff duties for the first time since 2016 with the Giants, and notched a career-best 47 touchbacks.
It wasn't a perfect season for Gould, however. He went 7-for-11 on kicks in the 40s, though he was a perfect two-for-two on 50-plus-yarders during the season. He finished the year with a field goal percentage of 84.4 percent and a near-perfect 50-for-51 on extra-point tries.

Well, that's 9.4 points better than our guy.
On a small sample size, 1-2 kicks can swing those percentage a great deal. I am not sure that looking at % is the best barometer.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

The best barometer would be to look at % when it's choke time. I play racquetball and when my opponent reaches a serving for the match point, I love to grab my throat with both hands as he's taking the ball from me to serve just to let him know it's choke time. Works better than 50% of the time too. And that's what I think you'll find with our kicker if you look at choke time only. You know, like missing two game winners just in a preseason game. LOL!??

If you're missing kicks in August, what's going to happen in November-December when the weather isn't so great?
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

The future never tells.
Maybe he makes them.

As has been mentioned before, his kicks look terrible even when he makes them. I see no logical justification for placing our faith in his ability. If we were a team that's building to win in the future, maybe, but we have a fairly small window to get this done.
