The Holy Roller Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I hope this gets him on Madden's all tough guy squad now.....THAT'S a football player!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedroz13 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Very impressive....but shouldn't they have a back up kicker? They knew he was banged up all year. Do most teams not have a back up kicker of gamedays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most teams not have a back up kicker of gamedays? 1020671[/snapback] No ... most teams don't want to commit a roster spot to a backup kicker. Often times teams will have one specialist that kicks FGs and another that kicks off ... but even them most teams don't like to commit 2 roster spots to kickers.

whomper Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Akers is going to seriously hurt himself if he keeps this up. I give credit when its due that was awesome but Reid is letting this guy aggravate this hammy bad..He will never finish the year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I know teams don't carry 2 kickers normally, but considering he was hurt last week, I think I would have signed somebody for insurance. I didn't watch the game, but I know I saw one kickoff that looked like it went about 20 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Very impressive....but shouldn't they have a back up kicker? They knew he was banged up all year. Do most teams not have a back up kicker of gamedays? 1020671[/snapback] Mark Simoneau (linebacker) is their backup kicker. But, as others have said, they do not have a player in the kicker position on the roster as backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
