Personally I would not mind Jeff Reed to finish our season with a ring.

Tuvecchio, Longwell, Reed anyone would be better than Akers! He should have been gone after the Rams tie!

Replace a head case with this guy? Great idea! He looks very well grounded.

Or whenever he "hurt his groin"...

IF he even hurt his groin , he prolly did it over exerting on that kick.

It's more a mental thing now he just has the yips. Hope he goes super Akers and helps us bring home #6

Kasay would be good. Always liked him in Carolina.

I think at this stage I would be happy with a kicker that can consistently hit field goals from under 45 yards out. I think we should be able to find a guy who at least has a good short game. Akers has been garbage from very make-able range FGs and thats just not acceptable at this level.

Its just a matter of time when Akers will start missing extra points. Get rid of him now.
