GREEN BAY — Anders Carlson stopped himself in mid-sentence Monday, realizing what he was saying didn’t quite sound right.
The Green Bay Packers kicker was reliving his NFL preseason debut from Friday night’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, in which he’d made his first four kicks (three 33-yard extra points and a 45-yard field goal) before pushing his final two extra points wide right.
Part of a larger discussion about his ups and downs throughout training camp, the rookie sixth-round pick was trying to explain his self-assessment process and why he’s not panicking over his own inconsistency, even as factions of the Packers’ passionate fan base might be.
