When you come across a guy who can get the job done - like a Suisham - it's best to hold on to them, since kicker is a position that defies all reason. We haven't had consistency at the position since Chip Lohmiller so I think sticking with Nick was the right thing to do.
i agree with your post. but who is this Nick you speak of?
