The Browns took on the Colts on Sunday.
Cleveland Browns place kicker Dustin Hopkins successfully kicks a field goal against the San Francisco 49ers in the second half.Sure, hindsight is 20/20. It’s easy to say now that the Browns made the right decision in August, trading for veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins -- especially after the last two games he’s had -- and parting ways with Cade York, the player they thought was their future at the position.
Early on in his Browns career, York lived up to the hype, booting a 58-yard game winner Week 1 against the Panthers last season. But mostly,For the season in 2022, York was just 6 of 8 from 40-49 yards; and 4 of 7 from 50 or more yards. When the 2023 preseason began, it became clear that those issues weren’t solved.
For his career, the 32-year-old was just 15 of 30 from 50-plus when he came to town, his longest kick being 56 yards. Total, he was 190 of 224 on his career field goal attempts before this season, 84.8%. “He’s just been very consistent on a day-to-day basis with his routine and specifically to the operation with Corey and Charley ,” Special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone said this week when asked about Hopkins success on long kicks. “So I think that has carried over into the game results. So he’s a true professional. He works at his craft. He understands the intricacies of the position. He’s a veteran, and he’s done a really good job for our team.
