When the team went to the field-goal period Thursday, David Buehler was a confident kicker. His training camp and preseason had been sailing along nicely. Talk of bringing in another kicker for his job was starting to remove itself from the conversation. Buehler connected on his first three kicks with no problem Thursday, but then the wheels came off on the next four kicks.
Buehler missed two to the left and two to the right. The misses were the first real problems that Buehler had shown since OTA’s and mini camps. The once steady, reliable kicker in camp was now leaking oil badly.
After practice, Buehler spoke of being grateful that he would have another opportunity to try kicks against the Chargers. But what once seemed like a lock now had everyone that witnessed the kicking display questioning how things might go the rest of the preseason.
