The Los Angeles Chargers have had a kicking problem for a while. It has gotten worse the last 2 seasons resulting in a head to head kicking battle in training camp this year between veteran kicker Caleb Sturgis, and already crowned “draft bust” Roberto Aguayo.
This battle seems to have been pretty back and forth so far. 2 weeks ago Aguayo was winning the competition in practice, converting more of his attempts than Sturgis. Then the first preseason game happened and Sturgis missed a 41 yard FG attempt. Which brings us to this week and Sturgis converted all 7 of his attempts in practice yesterday (all the way out to 54 yards) while Aguayo took a step back and only converted 4 of 7 attempts.
