I think Gostkowski is as good as anyone in the league. Maybe not better than 4-5 other guys.

The problem is that Vinatieri's rep got so enormous that be became more than a kicker in the minds of many, which he never was. He was just an accurate, dependable kicker with questionable distance on his kickoffs. Gostkowski is the same deal, but with better distance on his kickoffs.

the o-line did good in giving campbell time tonight

Ouch, the Cult of Colt may be going after Mort after this comment:

mortreport The 'Skins wanted Colt Brennan to be the No.2 this year but he doesn't know how to play QB yet. Witness, the sack he just took.

Ok got it. It's pretty sad looking at the kickers we have had recently.

...and that is why we are going downfield more often.

A couple points.
Haynesworth aint playing like a star....decent yes...a mild improvement over Griffen, yes...but not much more.
The mid round LB draft picks have been completely invisible.
Barnes is legit...Tryon is ok...a tough decision on roster...Westbrook improved.
Safetys solid....Chris Wilson established at the #2 OLB easy...HB blades solid...the #2 picks from last year took a step back...especially Kellly...he had opps...just blew them....devon continues to be invisible as well as our backup TE...who is he? who freaking cares...not legit yet....I do like the oline improvement....adequate yes, improved, yes...dominant NOT.
Our Punter is amazing, best upgrade.
Campbell is solid but needs a dominant line which we dont have.

If colt can lead us home he's in

I think this has to do with a lot of holding non-calls to be honest. I still think he makes a huge difference.
