In Sunday’s 30-24 overtime victory against the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker missed an extra point and a final-minute 51-yard field goal attempt. In an injury-shortened campaign, Butker has now missed five field goals and three extra point attempts over ten games.<\/p>\n

Former Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt \u2014 first on Twitter and then on local sports radio \u2014 has blamed his successor for Butker’s struggles. Colquitt \u2014 who spent 15 seasons as Kansas City’s punter and holder \u2014 insists that third-year punter Tommy Townsend’s holds are the reason for the placekicker’s inconsistency. <\/p>\n

In the locker room before Tuesday’s practice, Butker attempted to put the issue of his holder to rest. He credited Townsend \u2014 as well as Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, special teams coordinator Dave Toub and long snapper James Winchester \u2014 for collaborative work in the midst of middling results.<\/p>\n

\u201cDustin \u2014 he’s a big Chiefs fan,\u201d he said of his former teammate. \u201cHe obviously has given a lot to the whole community here \u2014 and I respect the heck out of him. I’m just trying to be the best kicker I possibly can be. All the guys here \u2014 James, Tommy, Coach Toub, Coach Reid \u2014 they’re all the ones that are pushing us to be our best. And we’re listening to all those guys and trying to improve every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Butker reiterated he is happy with the job his current holder is doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames and Tommy do a great job,\u201d he declared, \u201cand I’ve got to finish it and get the ball through the uprights. I’ve been happy with all the effort and all the work those guys have been putting in. At the end of the day? If the ball’s on the ground, it’s got to go through.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Reid simply dismissed his former player’s notion that an issue with holds is going unaddressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look at everything,\u201d he said of the situation. \u201cI’m not going to get into it, but there’s nothing that gets by us. We’ve got to get through this. They all take responsibility between the three of them. We’ll get it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Criticism from a former player does not carry extra weight for the head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Colquitt has] a big personality,\u201d observed Reid. \u201cHe loves to put his opinion out there. I don’t worry about all of that. We do our thing. We study all that stuff. Everybody’s got an opinion. I don’t worry at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colquitt’s thesis, in short, is that Townsend’s holds consistently leave the laces of the football in the wrong position. Butker downplayed the issue entirely.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I’ve worked on the past couple of years,\u201d he said, \u201cis just looking right under the ball so I’m not noticing the spinning laces \u2014 if there are any spinning laces \u2014 because I can’t control that . And I like to think that no matter where the laces are, I should still be able to hit a straight ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s one thing Tommy and I have been working on throughout our time together: just some drills where Tommy is putting the balls down and he’s spinning it. So I have to get better at just kicking the ball starting at basically the ground below the ball so that I’m not even noticing a spinning ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of times kickers maybe give too much credit to balls where the laces are off \u2014 or the lean or whatever it may be. I just take the approach of, ‘I can do better. I can fix that.’ I should be able to hit any ball through the uprights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The downside to dismissing Colquitt’s claims, however, is that if the holds are not the problem, then what is the issue? Citing ample distance, Butker did not blame lingering pain from his Week 1 injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve got plenty of distance on the field goals,\u201d he claimed. \u201cI’ve just got to keep working to make sure they go through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Butker and Reid cautioned against making sweeping changes to fix the problem in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ve got to trust the process,\u201d explained Butker. \u201cYou can’t just throw everything out the window and try to do something new.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big reason why a ball doesn’t go through \u2014 or why it does go right down the middle \u2014 is just a small little tweak; a small change. That’s the hard part about kicking. You’ve got to find what that small change is\u2014 and make it and come through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid expects the player to rise above his recent struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get into a little bit of a funk,\u201d he observed, \u201cand that ball looks small. All of the sudden, you work through that and it looks big again. And you start hitting it better. That’s where we’re at. We’re working through it. [I] still have a ton of trust in the process. We just have to work through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Butker knows how to work through accuracy issues because he has done it before. He cited a stretch of missed extra points as evidence that the situation can improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know in 2020, I was missing all those extra points,\u201d he recalled. \u201cOne of the things that helped me was not overanalyzing everything, because you can get yourself where you’re just trying to change way too much \u2014 and you’re hurting yourself. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ve got to go back to the drawing board \u2014 always \u2014 if something’s off. And you’ve got to come back better. That’s what I’m doing. I’m working my butt off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
