    Before the season Maikon Bonani was favorote to be kicker here due to having experience here last preseason. However in a head to head kicking battle not only in practice but also in games Coons is clearly the better kicker. Coons made a 45 yarder then drilled a 50 yarder after the 45 yarder was called back on a penalty. Bonani missed an extra point last week and has been very shaky making field goal attempts. However the reason they say Bonani has an edge is due to having a stronger leg on kickoffs. WTF? So would Webster and Whiz give Bonani the job just based on his kickoffs having a bit more leg on them? In my opinion you win this job on making those field goals not based on if your kicks have a bit more leg behind them,right???

    I sill think the favorite is the best kicker that comes across the waiver wire,
    But we will see.

    this would only be true if they were looking for a reason, any reason, to make Bonani the K and make a mockery of the 'competition'

    Coons should be the guy. He's been very solid.

    Coons has 100% been better. There may be better on the waiver wire though. We'll see. If it's Coons or Bonani, it should definitely be Coons.

    I look forward to every kickoff being fielded at the five.

    I haven't paid close enough attention... Has Coons even been given a chance on the kickoffs? I feel like it's Bonani kicking off every time. We need to see what Coons does... because he's clearly the better FG kicker IMO.

    Also any chance Kern can kickoff? Punters take over kickoff duties sometimes. So just wondering. Not suggesting it if he's never done it.

    We cannot have a kicker called Coons, we just can't.
