    Our special teams has been playing really good, do we kick and punt to this guy? If tebow is out, James could be their biggest weapon.

    Have we ever used the Rugby punt? Remember Urban Meyer broke that out against us, when everyone feared Skyler Green, they started that in 05 game at LSU.

    yes. unless it becomes a big problem. dont forget that in addition to having good coverage, it seems that jasper has a decent shot at kicking it half way in the endzone.

    How can he kick it 8 yds deep on 1 play then cant get past the 10 yd line any other play? was the wind a factor in the GA game?

    The sky kick really hasn't done anything but give opponents the ball around the 35. I say kick away and our gunners will get to him around the 20. We've covered kickoffs very well this year. We have a couple of real headhunters.

    I would not kick to that dude. He is AWESOME. The same goes for Arenas for Bama. Every week I watch teams kick to them over and over and every week they burn them over and over.

    I don't mind doing it once (especially if it's the opening kickoff) to see if you're team is good enough to get to him (and to give the guy a shot), but if he burns you, why do it over and over. The dumb teams are the ones that can't tackle him, yet keep kicking to him. He could definitely make a difference.

    I would gladly accept the 35 yard line for Florida each time.

    Seriously.
