    Was good to see.

    Always get nervous when you have a new kicker.

    He looks rock solid. That 44 yarder was good from over 50.

    "Not so fast my friend" the missed extra point as you mentioned and I don't recall any of his kickoffs getting inside the 10 yard line. The extra point you can forgive this time because it didn't have any affect on the outcome of the game, but kicking in a dome and not being able to get kickoffs down to the goal line could end up causing some problrms down the road. I did think that our kickoff coverage was very good however, which negated any problems with the relatively short kickoffs.

    Anyone think that maybe he was TOLD to kick short? Cause those kickoffs had hang time.

    The missed PAT was obviously a slip.. you can see his plant foot going forward. I have to wonder if Wing can kickoff? He seems to have a huge leg (two really, he switch-kicks).

    I think we have to get the kickoffs to the 5 or the goal line. Dropping them on the 15 will be mighty risky, hang time or not.
