Active Roster
YEAHHHHHH, franks
I just had a left field thought. Is it crazy to consider Miami rolls with both Kickers on the roster? I really like Franks and I think that we can run with him, but keep Sturgis as initial backup. If after a few NFL games Franks is kicking consistently well, we let Sturgis go.
Interesting to note that Buffalo played 2 kickers last season. Jordan Gay for the kickoffs and Carpenter for the goalkicking.
Does anyone think it's not right how a short FG is worth more than an XP?
Its always been this way. Is your idea to eliminate short fgs, the xtra point, or something else? Not trying to be argumentative, just curious about what you want to propose. I have heard some opt for the elimination of the xtra point and making it an automatic 7 pts of the td unless you risk one of those points in the 2 pt conversion.
Wouldn't kicking a field goal from the 5 suck?My idea, crazy as it sounds, would be to devalue FG's by distance. I know that sounds crazy. You have to admit that the league is stressing points, and TOUCHDOWNS. If 1-30 yards is worth 3, 31-45 2, and 45+ only 1, more teams would actually go for it on 4th down once they are inside the 35. I think it would be great to reward the D for not letting the opposing team cross the 40 yard line!

Another kicker traded:

The #Jaguars are trading longtime kicker Josh Scobee to the #Steelers. He’s been their kicker since 2004. Pitt had a K injury.
Saw someone mention Kyle Brindza. Looks like he's going to the Bucs.

And Kicker news RT @FieldYates: As @RapSheet reported, the Bucs traded TE Tim Wright to the Lions. Detroit sent K Kyle Brindza in exchange
