Description

Not long ago, a college kicker lining up for a 50+ yard field goal attempt sent terror and doubt into the hearts of that team's fans, and an NFL kicker lining up from 60+ yards was a rare sight. Rodger Sherman, author of the Read Rodge newsletter, joins Ryan Nanni to discuss how those trends have changed over the years at both levels, why kicking is unique in its historical assessment, and how we feel about the end of #collegekickers pessimism. (Also: here's Jourdan Rodrigue's story about the changes in the NFL's K-ball rules!) Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
