[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 698057, member: 265"] One thing people here are missing is the role of [I]confidence[/I] in placekicking. You are Wells. You have a literally perfect year in 2018. You have shown what you can do in game situations. You have some limitations - range - but when there were points on the field to be had and you were called, you delivered. Then you get a new coach who, on the basis of practice alone, decides that you aren't what the teams needs. (Btw, for me this was the most incomprehensible decision in a year that had its share of them.) The guy who replaces you has a better leg (slightly), but can't hit the broad side of a barn half the time. What has happened to your [I]confidence[/I] when you are finally called on to kick? It's in the dumpster, of course. And you become less effective as a result. And, since there's a well-known feedback loop here, your kicking suffers more with each miss. I feel for him; I truly do. Of all our players who suffered from the coaching transition, Wells is the one who suffered the most. All I can h0pe for is that the new kids fit more closely with what Collins wants and that they are handled with more care. After all, he did recruit them. [/QUOTE]
