The Chiefs need a new kicker.
Cairo Santos is not a reliable kicker.
I don't care about the 80-some percentage that Santos kicked on the year. He doesn't have a lot of leg, and the Chiefs don't trust him with anything other than short 20-to-40 yarders. He's dogshit in coverage -- I've never seen a kicker stick his legs out to tackle a kick returner, but Santos is so small and slow that that's all he can do. He doesn't have the confidence of the team. He doesn't have the confidence of the coaching staff. He doesn't have our confidence here, does he? His missed kicks were huge momentum swingers in the 1st game of the year that we lost -- had we beat that shit-ass Titans team, we'd be in the playoffs right now. His misses this year have been awful -- all misses are awful, but a good number of his misses have been knuckleballs that just flew off into oblivion. Even some of his connections have been awful -- his made kick in Denver this year was a low knuckler through the uprights. I'm done with Cairo. I respect Dave Toub's ability to turn even circus clowns into competent special teams contributors, but it's time to bring in an actual kicker. I vote Kyle Brindza out of Notre Dame, but I'm open to suggestions. |

Wasn't he supposedly crushing the football in camp? I remember reading something to the tune of it sounded like gunshots when he hit the ball. Wonder what happened?

I'm sure he's gifted enough to do everything you need him to do, physically. Some people just lose it when shit gets real. |

Cold air is heavier/thicker than warm air.

Well this is ironic, considering the original post for this thread.
