“I don’t know the exact number, but I know there were over 10 or 15 straight field goals that he had made going into that one,”on Wednesday. “And listen, we got another opportunity this week, and I’m going to go out there and throw him out there again. It’s a lot of trust. Look, we do that every Friday and guys yell at him. We do all this stuff to make it a competition and get underneath his skin, and he doesn’t flinch.
“In hindsight, I would have rather just kicked my kick three times, and if they’re short, at least they’re in the middle and short. Be stubborn about it. But that was the first time I ever left a kick short, and I think it’s a learning experience for me in terms of the ball isn’t traveling well. It’s cold: How do I handle it? So you have to learn and move forward.”During his seven NFL seasons, Carlson has made 196-of-224 field-goal attempts, including the playoffs.
“When you have a little success and experience, it helps to be able to look back and know you’ve done it before and you can do it again,”. “As a rookie, it’s like, ‘Maybe I’m not cut out for this.’ That’s just part of learning. Not that I handled it poorly, but you learn how to deal with adversity. You’re a little more mature and you see there’s light at the end of the tunnel. There’s another game to get ready for. Back then, you’re wondering if it’s your last chance.
