Bad night for Kai but can't write him off yet. He needs to turn it around though that's for sure.

Kick-offs are a major problem for Kai. I think he gets beat out because of that.

the fall from really good to average kickers is not much. especially in terms of points per season.

where it comes into play is in big moments which find plenty of examples of otherwise high-accuracy kickers failing, and lower-accuracy kickers succeeding (and of course, vice versa)

but you have to be able to get touchbacks. more importantly you have to not kick it out of bounds...

he has problems in both areas. i know he he set the record for consecutive kicks, but the risk at kickoff is just too great. the guy's job is on the line and he screwed up big time in his first shot. i don't know how you give him another...
