[QUOTE="EFN247, post: 457700, member: 3966"] This is the problem, it's not that easy. I don't think people understand not many kickers "kick it out of the endzone every time" I looked up some stats earlier. Last year the leading % touchback rate was 75% Butker over his 4 years was 2016- 74% 2015-66% 2014-60% 2013- 41% & he is an all pro kicker I do think our kicking has been sub par the last 2 seasons and clearly a HUGE dropoff from Butker, but Butker was extremely rare. Think its easy to always point fingers at the kickers but to me there is so much more than just the kick, our coverage has been terrible and clearly our game planning has too. Keep in mind we had the kid who is now kicking at Bama committed, and skipped town last minute. Also, look at USF kicker he kicked it to like the 5 or 10 every time and we only got one decent return [/QUOTE]
