Time for a kickoff specialist?

[Green Phin]

Given that our ST return coverage units cannot get the job done, I was thinking that, as a short term solution (i.e. the rest of this season), we should get a kickoff specialist. At least, that would solve half of the problems. Then, at the end of the season (i.e., after we win the SB), we can change the ST coach and/or the ST players.

If we're changing the bottom of the roster on a weekly basis, I think a kickoff specialist is worth a try, regardless of the roster spot it takes. What do you think?

This was brought up a week ago or so, and someone posted the stats that the best kickoff kicker (Janikowski) does not kick touchbacks more than 40% of the time (i think that was it) and Dan Carpenter was kicking the ball pretty often into the endzone and a few times out of the endzone. Our problem is definitely coverage, your not going to find a kicker who can consistently kick touchbacks out of the endzone

Maybe we can get a German Shepard signed to our coverage unit and rub some bacon grease on the ball before we kickoff.
