Ryan Fitzpatrick Explains What Goes Down In A Team's Facility When A Kicker Is Struggling Leading Up To A Big Game

On today's Pardon My Take... RYAN FITZPATRICK! The former quarterback and electric TV personality on Amazon Prime joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk about his trip to Buffalo, Championship Sunday, what makes Travis Kelce so special, and if he ever got the shot put out of his golf hole. 

As someone who has spent more than a decade in the National Football League, Fitzpatrick has seen it all. The Harvard grad played for nine teams over the course of his career, and he has plenty of stories (and FitzMagic) to show for it.

So, that brings us to today's episode: What is it like in the locker room when the entire team knows that a kicker, a very valuable position, is struggling? Fitzpatrick gives his thoughts on what is going on in the Philadelphia Eagles facility with the Jake Elliott situation on today's show. Take a look...

Ryan Fitzpatrick's plan when he is interacting with a struggling kicker - instill confidence in him, let him know that the team still believes in him, let him know that there is a big moment in the game where they are going to really need a big kick and that the entire team has his back.

Ryan Fitzpatrick when the offense is meeting without the kicker present - discuss scenarios where the team may keep the offense on the field and go for it, instead of attempting a long kick. 

So, it is certainly an interesting dynamic that the Philadelphia Eagles are facing right now. There is certainly a good chance that this game, and a trip to the Super Bowl, comes down to the foot of Jake Elliott. And then what? Only time will tell...
