2. The fact that we are bemoaning a kicker move and the fate of Graham Gano speaks volumes to how stable and sane this offseason has been. It's nice to go into a season with little to no drama for once.

Not automatic as the poster suggest, actually about 43%of the time on touchbacks, but better then Gano.
