Originally posted by VA49er:Does this kicking battle really matter? You have a shaky and injured Akers. So the answer to that is to make him kick his tail off for two weeks? If he's healthy enough to do that then he probably is just a head case at this point. If he isn't then Cundiff probably should kick. Simple as that. Cundiff does not make me sleep better at night. Either one of these guys could cost us a game. So if they succeed then its a good news story. I sort of hope we just forgo field goals over 40 yadrs. I mean if you are between your opponent's 27 and 35 just go for it. If you fail to get the kick you are 7 yards behind the line of gain. Heck even most sacks wouldn't leave you in that bad a spot. If you fail to get the first you maintain or maybe improve your field position. Don't put our D in a bad spot. Last game we had a better 4th down conversion percentage than 3 point conversions.
Agree. Just go for it and not worry a bout the field goals unless we have too!
