Because punters are cheap to begin with, I would pay top dollar for Lechler. In the big picture, punter is the cheapest place to get a difference maker.

I strongly agree with you Joe. I believe most people underestimate the importance of a great kicking game. I would rather have a guy like Lechler who can consistently pin the opposing team deep in there own territory. Than say a Haynesworth who by himself can't do as much and cost a lot more $$$ When we played Philly the second game and Plack pinned them within there 10 YL four times it changed there offense they felt rushed and made mistakes. Plack won us that game IMO.
