It doesn’t take a genius to understand how such a display reinforces the card that’s always in Taylor’s back pocket as the head coach and play caller. “Mathematician or engineer, I don’t know what the right word is, but to know the judgment on how many more yards that would go and how drastic the drop-off is, I can’t really compute that,” he said. “Sixty-five yards is no easy task, and it looked like he had a couple more yards behind it as well.” “’Fairly impressive’ is how I would phrase it,” Taylor said with a smile. One reporter called it “fairly impressive,” which elicited laughter.
You have to hit it solid, but you don’t have to swing out of the park to get it there.” On the longer ones, I’ve learned to dial it back. “I slipped on my plant foot, and I came up short. It actually served as a reminder about the hazards of approaching a kick that long. McPherson did attempt a 68-yarder during a practice last year, but it didn’t go well. It meant Taylor had to run practice over by a minute, but watching what came next was well worth it. “Darrin said, ‘There’s a strong possibility we’ll launch one here at the end.’ I said, ‘OK, great.’” “My conversations are with Darrin,” Zac Taylor said. Saturday was not the day for conservatism. The standard routine in practices tops out at 55. With the rest of the Gators, he said he hit from 68 in a practice. He said he has hit from 75 yards with the help of wind at the University of Florida as he worked by himself during practice.
“It looks like another 5, 7, maybe 10,” he said.Ħ5 yards out is too easy for Money McPherson. When shown the video, McPherson was asked how far he thought it would have been good from. McPherson uncorked one through the uprights that nearly reached the net, sending the crowd into the loudest roar of the day. “On a nice, warm day like that the ball’s compressing really well, and I just hit that ball really well.” “We definitely planned it to … show the fans in attendance that it’s actually possible,” McPherson said. On a perfect 83-degree day, McPherson asked to line up from 65 yards to end the day, and Simmons put it in the script. The man who built a legend as a rookie with 12 field goals of 50-plus yards, a long of 58 and four walk-off game-winning kicks wanted to reach yet another milepost in his ascension as one of the most popular kickers on the planet. With 28,683 fans overflowing the lower bowl at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday, back in it for the first time since the send-off to Super Bowl LVI, Evan McPherson wanted to put on a show. CINCINNATI - Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons didn’t need much convincing.
