Finnegan out; Lutz in!

I think Kickers develop a little later myself.
You dont see that many kickers come out of college with great records. Well the ones i look at in the draft all have some easy misses. My guess its probably a nerve thing,they need to get a bit older and settle down and get into a routine.

He seems to have the power i his leg by what my mate reckos so lets see.

He's got 60+ yarder range. Accuracy is the question. Dude has a howitzer for a leg.

How nice would it be to have a kicker that can hit 55 yrd FGs as the norm... I recall multiple times last year we didn't even try to kick 45 yrd FGs.

True, but I'll admit I'd rather have a Kicker who is very accurate from 45 in than an inaccurate kicker who can kick a 60 yarder.

I agree but when our kicker misses a FG and coach immediately gets out his news paper with available kickers, we will never really know if they can get better lol.
