Extra points

May 30, 2011 at 04:15PM View BBCode

For some reason we are still having issues with extra points. The league average is 95.7%; Montreal, Chicago and Carolina are at 90% or lower. The overall field goal percentage from less than 20 yards is 100% (although only 19 attempts) and 95% from 20-29 yards which leads me to believe that somehow there is something wrong specifically with extra points, which is hard to believe as an extra point is simulated as a field goal from the 2 yard line.

I don't know what the solution is, I just wanted to give you feedback as to what I am seeing right now.

Those teams have very inaccurate kickers. Two of them have KA in the 50s.

They are going to miss a lot of easier kicks, no?

Chicago is using a punter whose rating at K is 49:

Montreal's K is at 54 on KA and 57 total rating:

Carolina's guy has 57 KA and 22 execution:

Those three guys are responsible for 12 of the 17 missed XPA so far this season.

I'm not sure there's a problem other than a need perhaps to make sure every team at least has a decent kicker.

Observations:

- The Nighthawks have a poor kicker, 57 accuracy and 22 execution
- The Bear Claws are using a punter as their placekicker. 70 accuracy and 30 execution, although it's effectively a 10 execution after out of position penalties
- Montreal has a below average kicker, 57 accuracy and 67 execution.
- 3 kicks were blocked, the rest outright misses.
- Most of the kicks that were missed are fairly near misses, ranging from 0.2 to 3.5 feet ouside the goal posts
- Windspeeds ranged from 5 to 16 mph for all misses, fairly average
- Temperatures were at 38 or above, most were 45 or above

I am going to make a slight adjustment to the angle extra points are kicked at so they aren't as affected by the wind... other than that I think I'm just going to keep an eye on it, as these three kickers are clear outliers.

Might be good to look at other leagues and see what the threshold is for kickers missing extra points...should never have to draft a kicker that can't kick extra points...I can go onto the street and get a high schooler for that!

Montreal has missed another extra point and had a second blocked in the 1st half of Week 17's game alone...on two attempts. Kinda a bit much, yeah?

I haven't put in the adjustments yet since the season is almost over.
