If for no other reason then you need a guy to hold onto field goals, and it might as well be the other drat kicker.

I always love that part of training camp. The LS, Punter and Kicker off on a corner of some back field just practicing over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Gotta keep up appearances that you're a savant-level talent evaluator that can Sherlock Holmes your way into extrapolating a guy's entire career off of one bit of irrelevant information. You can't do that if you're actually doing the smallest amount of actual research like a professional would.

Also the kicker and punter are essentially each others back up, so you have insurance against an in game injury.

The most disastrous special teams injury I remember is when the Raiders lost their long snapper and the backup just could.not.do it to save his life. It was painful to watch and I like watching the Raiders do dumb things.

That was the 2012 MNF late game between the Chargers and Raiders, IIRC. It was one of the dumbest games i've ever seen.

Which was two years after our long snapper went down against the Raiders and Scifres got two punts blocked for touchdowns

I really enjoy that the Dolphins drafted a kicker who can’t kick field goals but is great at kick offs...



Right as the league plans to do away with the kickoffs.

Absolutely my first thought, heh. He’s probably the only one still around from the Nix era when they were pumping the press full of supposed scout takes of Glenn being more of a guard than a tackle, right?

It's actually quite a nice change from an abstract balance-of-duties perspective: the punter has work to do even whether the offense is doing well, and the placekicker only has to worry about one style of kick.

I wonder if someday they'll widen the hash marks.
