Carli Lloyd shoots down critics who say she couldn't kick in the NFL

After video of Lloyd hitting field goals at a joint practice between the Eagles and Ravens went viral on social media, fans were quick to call for her to get a shot in a real game. Just days later, Lloyd revealed that some teams had contacted her with a real interest, even inviting her to join the roster for the final preseason game of the year.

But while Lloyd had plenty of supporters, there were also doubters - self-appointed kicking experts on Twitter criticized her for taking longer than a two-step approach on the ball, and claimed she might be a liability should one of her kicks get blocked.
