Well,I guess we'll start to see kickers hold out for bigger contracts now. Why is the NFL so hell-bent on changing the game?

Its interesting, but I still don't like it. It makes kickers more important than they should be. Its football, not soccer.

I get it, but let's not act like kickers don't feel the pressure. No matter who plays poorly during the game, if a kicker misses the 45yd kick to win a game - the loss on his shoulders and it's his picture in the papers.

There's a reason Andersens and Janikowskis and Vinatieris only come around so often.

I really liked the fact Ingram and Robinson catching the ball out of the backfield more than anything. They will be a very nice 1-2 punch running the ball. Watching both so far I think Robinson has played a little better of the 2 so far. I also like the fact that both could be feature backs if need be. Not a bad situation to be in. Bold predition but I see 150+yards a game this season easy.
