I agree!
However, with Bucks being the 'inventor' of the kicking test in the combine, I'd be staggered if he went with one dimensional players. |

Tom Langdon is notorious for turning it over in fact.

And Marsh is capable of over 60m by foot but is also prone to shanking it.
Even Freeman's kicking is well below elite.

That's usually easier said than done. We have tried that with several players now with very ordinary results. Maybe its about time we learnt from that. _________________ "Only the weak believe that what they do in battle is who they are as men" - Thomas Marshall - "Ironclad". |

You are probably right. In which case we'll have wasted pick 65. I'll get over it _________________ they can smell what we're cookin' |

From all the reports I've read Langdon is meant to be an excellent kick. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |
