In 2018, New York Giants placekicker Aldrick Rosas was Pro Bowler, connecting on 32 of 33 field goal attempts and missing just one of his 32 point after attempts.

That was last year. A lot has changed since then. This year, Rosas won’t be going to Orlando, sadly to say. He is mired in a slump that most players at his position go through, and he is not resembling the automatic kicker he was just a season ago.

On Sunday, Rosas missed an extra point attempt wide right in the third quarter. It was the third consecutive game he missed a PAT and fourth straight game with an unsuccessful kick, counting his missed field goal try against the Cardinals in Week 7.

That has reportedly led the Giants to try out some kickers this week during their bye.

Rosas had had only attempted 10 field goals this season, converting on eight. He has converted 19 of 22 PATs.

“Just have to go back to the drawing board,” special team coordinator Thomas McGaughy said of Rosas last week. “It’s a rhythm thing, he’s starting to get more into a rhythm. Sometimes he has a tendency to get a little fast, he gets a little anxious. He has to calm himself down, slow down and go through his mechanics and go through his progressions and not rush through anything. That has been his issue right now, he just has to stay within himself and be himself. He’s a Pro Bowl kicker, the kid has a ton of talent. You have to realize, too, he’s a young player, young players make mistakes and he has to make sure he limits those mistakes.”

The Giants did not think they needed to replace Rosas this soon after his Pro Bowl season and perhaps they won’t. This summer, they brought it just one kicker to challenge him, Joey Slye of Virginia Tech, who they cut at the outset of training camp.

Slye is kicking for the Carolina Panthers this year and has not fared much better that Rosas, missing six of his 22 FG attempts and two PATs.
