That was a thunderous doink from Matt Gay last night as he misses another kick in a commander's uniform.

0:13.9

800636-1067 is the number.

0:17.7

So I've pulled up kicker stats, something I rarely, if ever do, on ESPN.com. And you've got to scroll

0:24.3

towards the bottom to find Matt Gay's

0:26.9

numbers. He's 10 for 14.

0:29.5

He's at a 71.4 percentage

0:31.8

on the year through six games. He's tied

0:34.7

with Josh Cardi of the Rams.

0:37.5

The only players below him

0:39.0

in kicker rankings are Young

0:41.2

Wayku, who got released by Atlanta

0:43.3

already. He now kicks for

0:45.2

the Giants. And the guy

0:47.1

who kicked the game winner against them last night,

0:49.4

Jake Moody, who was released by the

0:51.2

49ers and was just called up

0:53.1

from the Bears practice squad yesterday. He delivers the game winner against the commanders. What is the cake solution? You're posing the question. What is your solution, Kay? He wants to go find somebody else. I bring in a cavalcade of kickers until I find somebody that I like. Do you want the OCD guy back?

1:44.7

What was his name? Gonzales. Same Gonzalez? I think he's available. Sure. Bring him in. Bring him in for a tryout. Send him a bus ticket. Bring him to Ashburn. Let him hit a few kicks. But not just him. Bring in a handful of guys. And there has to be somebody better. I'm not saying you're going to find Nick Falk, who's at top the kicker leaders this year, who's, by the way, I get five of five from 50 plus. I mean, Matt Gay can only dream to be five and five from 50 plus. I don't think he's missed a kick. There has to be somebody better. That's my take. And they should... I don't know where you're going to find. I don't know where you're going to find him either. That's not my job. That's Peter's job. So correct me if I'm wrong... It's also a special team coach's job. Correct. He knows. Inside of 50, he's missed one. Correct. All right? He's six for seven inside of 50. And he's good on an extra point. It's 16 for 16. Outside of 50, he's 4 for 7. Mm-hmm.

2:03.4

Which is actually above 50%.

2:04.8

That's where they have the problem, if he's kicking 50 plus. I don't know. I think... I don't think they have to replace him yet. The percentages are not great right now, but it is kind of a small sample. He seems to be reliable under 50. He is.

2:18.8

Yeah, but you need a guy who's reliable from 50 plus.

2:21.8

I don't think it's ever been easier to kick 50 plus.
