I remember years back when the opposition would almost always start at the 35 because the kickoff landed at the 10.

You really need to consider this as a major factor

That's good to know. That's what I like to hear. This, hopefully, means he's gotten stronger in the offseason.

Re: We need competition for Suisham
Suisham has power in his leg this year. My fear is that he will burn out before the season starts having to make every kick in every preseason game and practice.

He's only had 3 chances to kick and I think this season Suisham won't get on the field as much. He'll be fine

If he gets burned out from kicking in the preseason we seriously need a new kicker.

100% agree. Any kicker that gets burnt out in the preseason is useless and weak. That's what they do for a living, if they can't handle the preseason, how will they handle the regular season and postseason?

The way he's reaching the endzone and appears to have a longer leg, maybe he worked out harder in the offseason to be more valuable to us. (thus the no competition brought in) At this point, I am mildly satisfied that he has developed more power, which is what I was seeking from our kicker.

Yeah, I meant to tell you about that since I know you don't like the preseason very much. He hit a mid 40 yarder with ease and most of his kickoffs are getting to the end zone. No touchbacks that I've seen (I don't think) but they're getting in there.

Re: We need competition for Suisham
Maybe we could sign J.Feley to compete with him. For the vet min of course.

ESPN - Dolphins cut injured Feely, a year after he set team record - NFL

That may not be a bad idea. For some reason i just don't trust Suisham in pressure situations. Feely is coming off on of his best years. He won't be w/ out a job very long.

Re: We need competition for Suisham
Some team is going to give him a contract which will make it impossable for us to bring him in for kicking comp. with Suisham.

It's not just kicking in pre-season it's making every kick in training camp.
