Kick Off Team Must get better!!!

[JWsleep]

Our kick coverage has looked weak to me. I wonder sometimes if they ask Hall to kick is short...

I'm ok with Brown, and he earned his right to catch em with the Arizona game. But I admit that I'm still nervous with him back there.

A quick look at NFL.com player stats would seem to indicate John Halls' leg is declining:

Kickoff Average

1997: 66.6
1998: 67.8
1999: 66.0
2000: 64.6
2001: 63.3
2002: 62.4
2003: 61.5
2004: 60.8
2005: 60.5

I'm not saying he sucks or anything, but there's a very obvious, steady decline in distance.

Taking a quick look at other kickers there doesn't seem to be a tremendous difference - average kickoff is in the 62 - 65 yard range.
