[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 339087, member: 322"] King was a blue chip player and one of the few in D1 football to get a scholarship guarantee. So I don't really blame CPJ at all for this as he took reasonable steps to cover Butker leaving. I agree that it drives me crazy since this seems to happen all the time that we go through a period of lousy FG and KO kicking. But to be positive, the punter (Harvin) is fabulous for when we fail to score. I don't want to line him up against the wall. He was doing his best. As I said elsewhere "Georgia Tech; where doing your best isn't good enough since 1888.". It sounds really sarcastic, but it has a lot of truth. It's the way I feel when a project I'm working on as part of a team fails. Drilled into me by Ma Tech. The question is how to respond if he is our best. My obvious answers are: 1) On KOs either attempt an on-sides kick or pooch kick all the time. Even kicking OOB is better than what we saw. 2) On FGs, screw it and go on 4th and 20 or less in scoring position where it isn't worth a punt. Otherwise let Harvin put it inside the 10. There are options. Not good, but it is as it is. [/QUOTE]
