Are you sure he's been in the situation to kick one? You never know, he might not been in the right position to kick a 50+ fg.Check the game play by plays and just see where the punter has been kicking from.

Of course, if he's been there, there's no reason he shouldn't be going for it. I know some people will say not enogh vision, but I think that's already been proven wrong by a few kickers with no vision that boot them.

See these examples from recent games where he could have attempted.

Could be it, but it's been shown that some players don't have any extra vision, and they kick those types of long ones all the time.

Think its a Stamina issue personally.

STAMINA should be in the 10-15 range... at least.

The guy who doesn't kick 50+ is the kicker on my team but not my kicker.

My kicker is here, with build viewable:

Stamina 7, and attempted 10 50+ FGs and made 7 of them, I'm pretty sure stamina is not an issue.

I think they are about to come. You struggled earlier in the year with 40+ FGs so your team didn trust you to do longer ones but because you have started to hit your 40+ FGs recently i think you will start to get some longer kick opportunities.

confidence is as important as punting/kicking
