Re: Value of a Kicker
Kickers don't get much respect because they don't get the media exposure that their teammates do. So, nobody really knows who they are with the exception of Adam Vinatieri.
As for the value of one, it depends. At a field like Mile High Stadium or some domed stadium, you can get away with having a weaker kicker. But at a place like Giants Stadium, the swirling winds kill a lot of long kicks, which is why we go through like one kicker every one or two seasons.
