Zane Gonzalez sits alone on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart at kicker

With the way the kicker position has played out for the Arizona Cardinals over the last several seasons, it is a bit surprising to see Steve Keim and company stick to their guns one more time.

Since Chandler Catanzaro’s first two seasons, where he was 57/64 (89%) on field goals and 80/85 (94%) on extra points, the Cardinals kickers have been a bit of a problem.

Chandler Catanzaro finished out his Cardinals career in 2016 going 21/28 (75%) and 43/47 (91.5%) on extra points.

The Cardinals brought in Phil Dawson to get the kicking game fixed and he went out and went 80% on field goals and 89% on extra points.

Dawson struggled in the preseason and that carried over to the regular season in 2018, before an injury ended his time in Arizona, where he was a 77% field goal kicker over his 26 games.

The Cardinals opted to go with Zane Gonzalez the final five games of 2018 and he was decent, going 7/9 on field goals (only misses were from 50+) and 5/6 on extra points.

Gonazalez now sits alone as the only kicker on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart.

He was a bust in Cleveland, converting only 68% of his field goal attempts and 90% of his extra points.

Yet, the Cardinals and Steve Keim have faith that he can find the stroke again that made him the 2016 Lou Groza Award winner and a Consensus All-American.

Is it the right move?
