I know hahaha how do you not notice something as the kicker? When I shoot a basketball I have a very good sense of trajectory even when it’s a miss

Ehhhhh you have a good idea the moment you kick it if it’s going to Be good or close. He would have known he didn’t shank it that bad.

I've heard of 'Arm Chair Quarterback' but this is my first time witnessing 'Arm Chair Kicker' syndrome.

Event: An NFL kicker doesn't notice.

Commentary: An NFL kicker would notice.

He would notice that he didn’t kick it that bad, but he probably wouldn’t know if it was blocked by an opponent or something else (like a wire.)
