Lutz is at 73% which is a career low by 10% and Dennis Allen is in so far over his head there is no one getting looked at.

At his point do you feel it would be worth the $2 million plus dead cap hit to replace him with the leftover kickers still available for the rest of the season? Is there any guarantee they would be as good?

As for someone getting looked at, I believe several of the kickers they had in during the offseason are still available. They are on speed dial.

I believe we may be in better shape at LB moving forward than some had surmised. Kaden Ellis balled out again leading the team by a huge margin in tackles with 14, 12 of which were solo. Zack Baun's name was mentioned several times with four solo tackles, one being for a loss, and one hit on the QB.

Focusing a player is not a binary decision. I said nothing about replacing him.

Then I guess I have completely missed your point. Why exactly do you expect Allen to waste valuable time by bringing in scrub kickers for a tryout which you have already tried out if you have no plan on replacing your kicker?
