Kicking with Kai

Chip Lohmiller. He was a good kicker. Before him it was Mark Moseley. Very good kicker.

It has been a long time since the Redskins have had a reliable kicker. A long time since you could feel confident with three seconds left and down by two that getting to the 35 yard line gave us a very good chance. A long time since you could watch a field goal with both eyes open.

It seems like that day is finally here. I understand Kai is just in his second year but how impressive was he last year?! Yes, he needs to do a little better with kickoffs, but I believe that will come this year. From what I have been reading he is just as accurate so far in training camp as he was last year.

Although it is an overlooked position at times, it is great knowing that the position of kicker hopefully doesn't have to be worried about for a long time.
