I’m good with it. Apparently they liked what they saw when they worked him out today. _____ According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Chargers worked out kickers Dustin Hopkins and Elliott Fry on Tuesday. One day after head coach Brandon Staley said he and the coaching staff were confident in Vizcaino, Los Angeles felt it was still in its best interest to check out some options to see if one might be capable of resolving the kicking issues. Hopkins was recently let go of by Washington after serving as the team’s kicker from 2015. In those six years, Hopkins made 163 of his 194 field goal attempts (84%), with his best season coming in 2018, where he made 26 of his 29 attempts (89.7%), including 4-of-5 from over 50 yards. chargerswire.usatoday.com/2021/10/26/chargers-tristan-vizcaino-dustin-hopkins-elliott-fry/

We will see if the Bolts chose wisely. 🤷♂️ At this point, I would have gone with experience as well.

"We have all options on the table" Hopkins being waived by the Football Team may be a timely gift. We are due at the kicker position! Overdue like a lost library book.

Seconded. In my defense the Dustin Hopkins Rainman is not the most flattering of nicknames in that context. I feel like I will offend folks if i explain so I wont!
I agree with the nickname thing.

It's pretty sad when we get a vet kicker, whose good by the way, and we can't even get excited. The only thing that is kicked is US from watching kickers fail fail fail. One after the freaking other. How about we just kick the goddamn ball through the uprights. Can we just do that. About 31 other pro kickers doing that. Ok. I feel better now. Go Hopkins !!!!!!!!!!!

No reason to believe that he won't suck as have the last few batches of kickers. I like the iron fist Staley approach. Two kickers booted in 8 weeks. Send the right message to Hopkins.
