Re: Kicker
I was thinking about that the other day, we had the best kicker in the NFL of all time. We also went nowhere. No thanks, I'll take this current kicker situation along with the queasy feeling.

Re: Kicker
I don't trust Graham. Bengals folks warned us that he's not a clutch kicker, and they had him in his prime. He missed a freakin' preseason extra point from 33 yards out this year...that tells me right there that he has lapses in concentration. And those misses in Seattle in the playoffs still doesn't sit too well for me, regardless of the weather or the "crowd" noise.
Give me Dimke. |

Re: Kicker
I know Euphoria is not losing any sleep over the kicker situation. But you better believe Coach is, he is still plagued with Hartley nightmares.

Re: Kicker
Pick whoever can kick off the deepest to give TM's leg some rest.
Then go for 2 all the time and go for it on 4th if we're on the plus side of the field. Nothing stops the B&G Express this year - ok, well just the celebration in NOLA in mid-February... |

Anyway, I'm Team Dimke, but I think we should keep both kickers. |

Re: Kicker
I'm sorry Beast, but I have to call bull**** on this one. I can think of at least two games last year that didn't happen for us because of one player's toe. When we're looking for a home field track to February, two games are huge!
