Dolphins struggling to find answer at kicker

Caleb Sturgis didn’t have a good day Wednesday. He was 2-for-4 on field goal attempts, continuing a trend of inconsistency that’s followed him since, well, the Dolphins drafted him in the fifth round in 2013.

This a major problem for the Dolphins.

“Let’s be honest,” special teams coach Darren Rizzi said, “that’s a tangible position. You have to put the ball between the pipes, and that’s what he got to do.”

Sturgis, whose 78.4 percent success rate on field goals ranked 28th in the NFL last season, is struggling so far in training camp.
