Butker: Kickoff Rule Hurt FG Accuracy

Butker has had two consecutive seasons with below-average field goal and extra point rates. He attributes this to tinkering too much with his kicking motion on kickoffs, which affected his consistency on field goals.

'Field goals matter the most,' Butker said. 'Trying to hit those knuckleballs and the funny kickoffs maybe affected the field goals a little bit.' He changed his approach halfway through last season to use a more consistent technique for both kickoffs and field goals, which he says helped improve his performance. truewildslot.com
