And all the surprise in the world won't make a difference if the kicker isn't able to place the onside kick where he is supposed to, which is not a walk in the park.

Fin, he kicked it right to Basket, who bounced it off his friggin head. It was a surprise kick, in fact it may have been the biggest surprise on-sides kick in NFL history, and the success rate of surprise kicks is 60%.

Oh, and this is off-topic. We aren't debating whether or not he's a good punter or a KO specialist. He is a good punter, in fact I'd say he's a great punter. But he's still a punter and a punter is the least important position on the team.

To put him ahead of Devery Henderson, Cameron Jordan, Mark Ingram, Chris Ivory, Zack Strief, Sedrick Ellis and Patrick Robinson is beyond ridiculous.

That may be the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life.
