I don't think you want Hocker either. If we had kept him, the kickoff situation would probably be better, but then we wouldn't have a reliable field goal kicker like Forbath. Hocker's career field goal percentage in college was 77.2. In his junior year, he was 11 for 18. Yeah. Meanwhile Forbath is at 86.7% for his career and is 4-5 this year. Likely, keeping Hocker over Forbath would have fixed one problem but created another.

That missed 33 yarder against Philly made me put him in the fu*k him group. He is gonna have to earn his way out of that, like I said I would want Matt Prater over him.
