At least he had the leg to hit the 46 yarder he missed, as well as 50 yarders. I don't see Vinatieri hitting any at this distance or being allowed a shot to attempt it at this distance too often. We'll see.
If Indy's running game weakens because of the loss of Edge and/or any turnover on the O-Line, we'll see how good the Vinatieri signing is soon enough.
One of the issues Belichek had was the lack of leg on kickoffs...The Pats don't carry and extra kicker for kickoffs, and Adam had something like 3 touchbacks over his career. Those hidden yards on kickoffs lead to points over the season.
