56 yards, wind, rain, bad snap, bad hold, death in the family, game on the line, broken skateboard.. all completely understandable.

The most perfect circumstances a professional kicker could ever ask for, at normal yardage... Its inexcusable.

We are not expecting perfection, we are expecting 3 points when the conditions are perfect.

Perhaps we should have spent 2 draft picks on a kicker instead of a punter.

Funny, I was looking for this because we know you love the punter, haha.
I would love to have a field goal kicker as good as Morestead is a punter however.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I'd much rather have a mediocre punter and a great kicker than a great punter and mediocre kicker.

I can definitely see us spending a pick on a kicker next year. Or maybe sign a stud free-agent kicker?
