    Vince Macmahon was ahead of his time... Now is the time that we need the XFL.

    From a Jets fan perspective for next year it's not going to be an advantage... we're pretty good at covering kick-offs and pretty good at returning them too.
    But this might be Westhoff's last year in the NFL and he is a big part of why we're so good on ST so in the long term who cares...
    It will also make B. Smith cheaper since (although he does many things) the one he's better known for is KRs.


    As an NFL fan I enjoy KRs and I'm pissed I'll see a lot less of them...

    Jankowski is always one of the top kickers putting in the endzone and easily kicks it out of endzone if at the 35yard line. (no doubt about that) Now reason why jankowski
    wasn't ranked that high last year is Raider special team coach didn't want him to kick it into the endzone(Teams were taking it out and still getting some big returns)

    In fact Jankowski won't probably be asked to kick it out of endzone, but use his powerful leg to kick it very high and try to pin the other team inside the ten. ( watch this 64 attempt he hits the goal post halfway up.

    why didnt they just get rid of the k ball for kickoffs?

    he is still a fat useless inconsistent slob. and YOU saying how good he is does nothing more than prove it. i never talk about people being wrong but you have a penchant for it.

    What exactly are you talking about or who are you talking to. Thanks

    If your talking about The Polish Cannon.(jankowski) You have to remember that hes going to attempt kicks with him, that your not even going to think about attempting with other kickers. Obviously your going to miss more of them and its going to hurt your number somewhat. Do you understand that.
