Here's the kicker...

Is it too much to hope that we've drafted our QBOTF, our new Hunter, AND our kicker for the next decade?

Thanks for the painful reminder.  22% more missed extra points than the next worst.  You can't win championships when you are not able to count on your kicker for "gimmee's".  Totalling up the missed extra points and field goals, we left 103 points on the field.  How many additional losses did this contribute to, over those five years?

And now the kicker that missed a lot of those field goals and extra points is the Packers nightmare.

Is Zimmer still working on Deion's staff at CU? Maybe we can bring him back to work with the new kicker using some of his motivational techniques.

That's right.  Kendricks playing for him again.  Didn't EK lambast Zimmer's intimidation coach style?

I dont recall that.

Kendricks called his coaching style "fear-based." But it sounds like he's got nothing but praise for his ol' buddy Mike now.

Speaking of Packer kickers, I saw Mason Crosby over the holiday weekend.  He has a lake house on the same lake as me up North (about an hour and a half from Green Bay).  We know each pretty well and he is well aware of my lack of Packer fandom.  I think he finished the season last year kicking for the Giants when their kicker went down and did pretty well.  I was surprised the Packers didn't turn to him at the vet minimum to compete with Anders Carlson rather than Joseph.  I understood releasing him before when we was still looking a salary commensurate with being their all time scoring leader.
