Kickers

Mono can knock someone out for several weeks. We need the staff to locate whichever groupie gave him mono and have her quarantined.

Price is as good as most teams in the country have as a backup kicker. I would doubt that there are a lot of times in recent years when teams have had to go down to their third kicker due to injury/illness. Some have gone there due to lousy kicking but not many were forced to.

Also I had Mono in HS, doctors wouldn't even let me play basketball. The spleen swells up and any kind of significant impact presents the risk of rupturing it. It also completely saps all your energy, I couldn't do much more than lay around for a couple weeks.

Hopefully it hit him early last week so by the end of the bye period he will be 3 weeks in and only another week or two away from coming back.

Give Graham some credit after blowing a couple---he showed some grit in coming in and nailing that last one. His KO that was ruled OB was a sucky call by the ref. The KO was clearly well into the end zone, though OB.. Ninety nine times out 100 that's called a touchback.

Wtf?
 
after watching the SEA AZ game, maybe we're being too harsh on Graham. I guess making 24 yard FGs is actually kind of hard. Sure feel like I've been to a lot of high school games that make <30 yard FGs at a 90%+ clip, but..

Well, HS goalposts are 5 ft. wider and they usually kick off tees. With HS goal posts, all our kicks would've been good.

I LOLed. Twice.
 
Special teams are absolutely KILLING us. To those who say kickers aren't football players, well this is what happens when you don't have one.
