The general rule of thumb in football is that placekickers should keep their mouths shut when it comes to calling out their teammates.

Most of the time it's the place kickers who score the most individual points for their teams over the course of a season..

And why is a place kicker forced to kick a field goal? Because the offense couldn't put the ball in the endzone.......

That’s a silly statement to make. For one thing, football teams typically have just one kicker on the roster — compared to a dozen or more players who score touchdowns via run, reception, turnovers, punt/kick returns, etc. In addition, a quick look at an NFL kicker’s statistics these days will show that they typically get at least 20% — and as much as 40% — of their point totals from extra points. They can’t even attempt one of those unless someone scores a touchdown.
