Seahawks have another great weapon in kicker Jason Myers

Myers looks like a game-winner for the Seahawks

So far in OTAs and minicamp, Myers has been killing it. In OTAs, the Seahawks put Myers in three high-pressure game-winning scenarios, and he nailed all three kicks. He did the same at the end of minicamp. As the great Bob Condotta reported for the Seattle Times, Pete Carroll couldn’t say enough great things about Myers.

"“Both of our opportunities to end these sessions have come down to a tie, last play, last-second kick, which just highlighted the consistency that Jason Myers showed for us,’’ Carroll said. “He did a great job throughout this offseason. We’re really fortunate to have him. Just consistency was really there and the leg power and all that working together with (punter/holder) Michael (Dickson) and (snapper) Tyler Ott. Those guys did a great job. So that move that we made to get him I think is going to work out great for us and it’s going to give us the confidence to utilize the kicker like you’d hope to in crucial situations, long balls when we’ve got to go for it.”"

Based on his leg and his multiple clutch performances last season, you have to think Carroll is right. The Seahawks have no reason to hesitate using Myers, and this should pick up at least a couple more wins for them. Granted, hitting “game-winners” in June is a far cry from doing it in the regular season or the postseason. Speaking of the playoffs, Myers has exactly zero game experience there, unlike Janikowski. Then again, Myers does have something in his stat line for 2018 that even the great Seabass doesn’t. That would be a tackle. That’s one game right there.
