Indianapolis Colts kicker Rodrigo Blankenship mi sed a 42-yard field goal in overtime that would have won the game against the Houston Jason Myers Jersey Texans.Instead, the Matt Ryan era in Indianapolis .Head coach Frank Reich wasn't ready to discu s personnel following the tie that felt like a lo s, giving Blankenship a tenuous vote of confidence."You know, I can't even begin to think (about it)," said Reich when asked after the game about potential changes. "In my mind, he's our kicker.""In my mind he's our kicker.""We go back and everybody gets evaluated. Coaches, players, we all get evaluated. If I've learned one thing over the years it's don't rush into those kind of decisions. Those are decisions Chris ( Shaun Alexander Jersey Ballard) and I get a chance to talk about and everybody gets evaluated.""Rod has done a lot of good things for us."Reich felt comfortable sending Blankenship out for the game winner and explained his thought proce s leading up to the ill-fated field goal attempt.Scroll to Continue"No. I didn't see anything in the operation that led to the mi s," said Reich.

"We hit that same naked earlier Tyler Lockett Jersey in the game, so I thought maybe they'dplay the run and we'd get Matt out there just, hey, let's take a short sack, run some time off, just in case the worstthings happens and we mi sed.""Obviously had a lot of confidence that we'd have a 40, 42-yarder worst-casescenario if we had to take a short sack. Best case scenario is we come out of there on the naked and we getsomething clean, we go down and score a touchdown.""They played good defense and then we didn't convert."
