3. The kickers & running backs have work to do

If you want to pick out two positions that have been underwhelming this camp, it probably goes to the running backs and kickers.

The running backs had some blunders- rookies Ke’Shawn Vaughn and Raymond Calias both had fumbles and Ronald Jones II was hurt before he could get going. The silence from that group- and the dropped passes, for example- are things that need to be changed.

And then there’s the kickers. Elliott Fry had an absolutely terrible day, missing an extra point, and Matt Gay was just ‘okay,’ according to Bruce Arians.

dark. Next. Reid Sinnett should get the nod over Ryan Griffin

We need to see more consistency from both of these positional units as competition progresses and we just haven’t seen it yet.
