    Nice, smart signing. One of the best punters ever. He will really help our special teams.

    I am really really hoping that he can handle kick offs. My memory from draft time last year is that Bullock doesn't have a big leg for kickoffs. I really want to get to where teams aren't returning every single kickoff past the 20.

    So we sign 2 players that have been the best at their position for a while. I'll take it.

    THIS

    can Lechler handle kick-offs?

    Can bullock?

    I never noticed how important kick-offs were until I saw S. Graham and the texans give up ridiculous field position over and over...we need a guy that can boot it out of the end zone!
