^^^^

I will look up his splits later today about distance.

I will also have to look up what his kickoffs were.  Janikowski was the kind of kicker who could guarantee a touchback. 


You do realize that touchbacks are now going to the 25 don't ya?

It connects to the value of kickers and touchbacks, especially with the kickoff at the 35 now.

If the Bills had a guy who could guarantee a touchback, it means not only would the Titans have not had the chance to do a miracle play, but they would have had to go from the 20 (now the 25), to field goal range in 16 seconds.

Whereas, with a return, you have a chance to get between the 35 and 40, complete a long pass down field, and call timeout.

So one fluke play almost 20 years ago brought you to that decision.

You could be right...but we'll never know. Congratulations on getting an awesome kicker. Wink

So far this preseason, he has looked anything but awesome.  He's missed a PAT and three field goals.  He never missed a PAT at Florida State.

That's why you never draft a kicker. And you never trade up and give up multiple draft picks for a kicker

One "good" note is that the Dolphins DIDN'T draft Shaq Lawson, as he is going to need shoulder surgery and will miss at least eight games to start the season.  Now he may go on to have a prolific career, but Miami has not fared well with this type of situation in prior years.  (Bills drafted him if your wondering)

Joey Bosa, the #3 overall pick, remains unsigned by the Chargers; and the Chargers have pulled their best offer saying that at this point Bosa won't be able to contribute all 16 games.  What a mess in SD.

Tony Romo breaks his back...possibly out 6-10 weeks. Difference between this Romo injury and all the other Romo injuries is that Dallas may actually have a decent young backup ready to go in Dak Prescott. It should be interesting to see how he does in real-game action, but he's been dynamite in the preseason...though that's mainly been against backup defenses.

Tony Romo injured...yep, it's officially football season.

If you're a QB not many better situations to be thrown into than that offense. Dallas should be fine especially in that division.

Dallas is stacked at almost every position.  Great place for a young QB to succeed.

Yes, and one that should be well known at this board - he features in the Ring of Dishonor as one half of "The Bust Brothers"

BUMP

Aguayo ended up with the worst FG percentage in the league.   He was so bad that the Bucs brought in Nick Folk offor the street to compete with him.   First date of OTAs at One Buc Place, Folk goes 4/4 and Aguayo 1/4
