Nine signed to offseason roster

Re: Nine signed to offseason roster

I reallly want better kickoffs next season. FGs are really important, but I think I'd take a guy who missed 3-5 more than Reed would if that guy could get a lot of touchbacks and make life easier for our coverage teams. I think the points lost on the FGs would at least be a wash if we can eliminate most of the kickoff return TDs (was it 5 this season?)

You know if you get a guy who can routinely boot it out of the EZ, then a huge chunk of your KR STs practice just went away, allowing those players to practice other things. Just sayin.' There's a TON of value in having a guy who can consistently boot it out of the EZ.

Absolutely. We'd be in the playoffs this year and possibly even won our division if we had that kicker (meaning we'd have won at least 2 more games where kicks were ran back on us for td's i.e. Cleveland, Cinci). Numerous advantages were given to our opponents due to kick returns so yeah, kicking it through the EZ every time would be pretty cool
