After a rough outing against the Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is determined to regain his confidence during the bye week. The Jaguars experienced a significant defeat, losing 35-7 in London. However, the score doesn’t tell the entire story of the game.
The Jaguars had a chance to narrow the gap when they trailed by 21 points. With seven minutes left in the first half, Little attempted a 50-yard field goal but missed, a turning point that led to the Rams exploiting the situation further. Following this, the Jaguars found it difficult to score, even as they moved the ball adequately. Head Coach Liam Coen chose to go for it on fourth down three times but failed each attempt.
Cam Little’s Struggles This Season
Throughout the season, Cam Little has struggled with consistency. In seven games, he has missed four field goals, a substantial increase from his previous career misses. Expectations were high after he made a remarkable 70-yard field goal during the preseason against the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcasing his potential.
Bye Week Recovery
Despite the challenges, the Jaguars are supporting Little. During the Week 8 bye, while many players focused on recovery, Little worked to reconnect with his roots. According to Special Teams Coordinator Heath Farwell, the bye week arrived at an opportune moment for the young kicker.
- Little returned to Oklahoma City and practiced on his old goalpost.
- Farwell emphasized the importance of resetting and getting back to fundamental skills.
- They had constructive conversations to navigate through the challenging period.
This rough patch is a normal part of a young kicker’s development, and both coaches and teammates remain optimistic. They believe Little can overcome these hurdles and return to form. With the extra practice time, they are eager to see his performance in the upcoming game.
