Bill, do you think it's plausible, if not likely, that after 2020/2021, Will Lutz got a little too lazy competitively, physically, and emotionally and he lost that aggressive, zero-pressure, laser-focus that made him such an accurate PK for several seasons with us for 5-6 seasons.
I think things changed after his injury. We all assumed that he would eventually adjust as he healed completely. But it appears that mentally he never got over the feelings associated with the injury.
I’m not sure that Payton is going to put up with a questionable kicker for very long. And just that extra concern in his mind may make it tough for Lutz to ever get right.
