Since then, not so great. I have a friend who has been complaining since early in the season about Akers. I guess I figure he'll come back around at some point. I tend to not expect kickers to do well anyway. And having a good team and a bad kicker reminds me of the good days.
I guess if the can find a better replacement, they could bring him on. Based on Akers entire career, I imagine he'll be back to form next year.
Bottom line: They should never put their fate in the hands of a kicker.
I think they have bigger problems at this point. Both their defense and offense are not consistent and can disappear at times. They have trouble hanging onto the ball on returns. In the last 4 weeks their pass rush went away. If those problems are fixed, they won't have to rely on Akers. What do you think they should do?
at this point, i don’t think they should do anything about Akers... i don’t think they will... i don’t believe they have anyone to replace him... you are right... they should never put their fate in the hands of a kicker... as a fan, it’s just so annoying to watch those missed field goals... especially the standard ones... it’s his job!
