oh man... I forgot what a luxury
it was to have Morten. It wasnt just the long distance moonshots. He never
jacked a chip shot. He thrived under pressure.

I grew up with the Oilers, and so Toni Frisch was also automatic. Especially in
the 4th Quarter.

No wonder I have no patience with choky kickers.

Skymike since you are old school, you probably remember the likes of Tony Franklin, Eddie Murray etc from the 80's. Only a handful of guys in today's NFL are what I would call money (Vinitieri, Bryant).

They seem to be harder & harder to come by these days.

Here's what plenty of people don't realize. All kickers go through spurts when they miss kicks. Here you just called Bryant money and yes I would have to agree with you since he's been with Atlanta he has been. But take a look at his playing career. He was cut twice in his younger days for missing kicks. I say give the kid a chance. You can work on accuracy.
