So I was looking at the weekly league stats today at lunch and noticed that Matt Stover is third in the conference in scoring among kickers. So far, so good, but here is the line that caught my attention -- he's 7-for-7 in PATs. I realize we've struggled to get the ball into the end zone, but that's just seven TDs in five games! It looked even more lame when I noted that the placekicker right below Stover, the guy from New England, was 23-for-23 in PATs. Yes, I know that the Patriots are scary good this season, but 23 TDs to 7?
I realize I'm stating the obvious here, but we MUST figure out a way to finish off drives with touchdowns. Given our problems in the red zone, an occasional bomb might be a good idea. It is possible to score from outside the twenty, after all.
