Also, he had an 82.9% FG% last season, which is very good. His 82% over his short career ranks 10th all time. Hard to believe, but it's true. BTW, he has an 84.1% FG% with the Skins, which would rank 5th all time if he had only kicked for us.
I am not thrilled that he can't hit from long range. His long was a 50 this past season, and he barely made it. We have all seen his short kickoffs too. However, I'll take an accurate kicker all day long with 5 yards less on his kicks than someone that can hit it from 65 and is all over the place.
I would love to see us hire a big kicker to do JUST kickoffs though. They don't need to be accurate, just boom it.
All in all, I like the idea of keeping him, and at only 26 years old, he is still plenty young enough to develope more strength.

I believe that 50 yarder was against the Giants in the 2nd meeting in a driving wind. I was pretty impressed with that myself.
