Well with Gano's historical percentages, you should right?

I don't care about Gano nor I am an apologist, but I do like to argue just for the sake of argument. Have you seen those blocked FGs? Have you seen the terrible job players in the line did in all of those situations? You make good points on the low FG pct and the missed FGs. And that alone should call for a FG competition...but just let the blocked FGs go.

If you want to call out mediocrity, see Will Montgomery getting blasted and allowing two FGs to be blocked in the Seattle game.

A great kicker goes out to the field alone, blocks for himself and kicks the ball through the goal post.


Gano had a couple kickoffs out of bounds in pivotal games this past year. One really help swing a game, but forget which game...SS a little help?

Wouldnt mind if we carried 2, Gano kicking off, but the dude has to get better, we shouldnt just settle for his production when so many of our games are close.

I would say that the Rackers signing shows that this may be the sentiment among the coaches. I would mind if we carried two kickers, I'd rather have roster spot for another player (o-line, d-line).
