In case you're wondering, 49ers can't recall K Billy Cundiff for Super Bowl after waiving him on Friday. David Akers is their man.

They can't resign Cundiff, but can sign someone else. At this point I would take Jose Cortez.

Why can't a punter kick? I have ponderd this question for a long time for instance in emergency situations why does soap have to be the emergency kicker

I look at it this way... Akers had double hernia surgery, obviously he has not healed from that (not to mention he is old as hell). I think we keep him on the roster out of respect and let him do kick offs and xps, but I'd rather trust Cundiff on the longer field goals. I think that surgery took the last out of Ake.

I think they will stick with Akers although I do think they bring in guys this week. Neil Rackers or John Kasay perhaps?

I really hope the Super Bowl doesn't come down to a kick. Wow....

While I do think the Ravens defense is somewhat overrated, I could see this game being very physical and hard-fought, and coming down to a lot of field goals. The prospect of that scares me, given how unreliable Akers is...

Keep him...it will motivate the team to not settle for FGs.
