    Total coachspeak BS. No way in hell we're keeping two kickers.

    Kern is the best player on the roster, no way you cut him.

    If that's the case I say let's see if he can kick field goals too.

    That fact that three roster spots are used on P, K, and LS irritates me. There's gotta be kickers out there good at both (or at least good at one and decent at the other), and the LS should be your backup center or guard.

    You know the long snapper actually runs down the field on punts, right? Those guys are regularly involved in those tackles. And they're usually involved in the kickoff coverage too. Not like they're on the roster for five snaps a game.

    Plus ls is something people work forever to get right. Throw any lineman back there and you'd see a lot more snaps over punters heads not long enough or somehow out of reach. Ain't nobody got time for that.

    What happens if that guy gets hurt? Got no one to kick.

    If you've read any Whisenhunt interviews this off-season, he's literally ruled out nothing lol.

    We're going to keep one kicker only.

    Coons seems to have the edge.

    Coons is more accurate so he's clearly the one we should keep. What good is it if you have a big leg but can't put it between the uprights. Besides, any kicker who has the ability to make them from 50+ is more than fine.

    It's beginning to sound like we might end up getting frustrated with our kicking game this year. Neither one sounds all that great to me. I know Bironas didn't have his best year last year but he was still better than the average kicker out there.

    Sometimes it's better to stick with the devil you know instead of the one you don't.

    exactly. Who wants to see a 50 yard FG anyways. Just go for the FD for crying out loud!
