Gostkowski will be able to replace Adam Vinatieri?

Who is this Vinatieri person people keep talking about? I'm not aware of such a person.

No, he won't but that's not a knock on him at all. That's like asking if Jarvis Green could replace Seymour. They're both good players but not near as good as the player that they're replacing. I think he's going to step in and be an adequate kicker and that's really all we need.

I think he can replace Adam. He is the rook (as AV once was) replacing the veteran (didn't Parcels replace Matt Bahr with AV?). He was the highest rated kicker coming out of college. AV was very good (not great), especially under pressure (when he was great). So far the rook has been the same. Of course, he hasn't had the same situations, but I think the rest of the team's confidence (in themselves and in him) will rub off on him, just as it surely must have on AV. It will be exciting to see how he does (unless of course he starts shanking everything!).

I assume the stipulation here is that this poll question essentially translates to: "Obviously no one can expect him to TOTALLY replace AV, to come through in the clutch over and over, but Gostkowski can be a good, solid kicker for the Pats." On that basis, I voted yes.

Unless we need him to make a 47 yard kick in a blizzard I'm not too worried about it. It's not like AV never missed a kick, and it's not like Gostkowski will never miss a kick, he just has to hit over 80% of them and not be one of those guys who we cringe whenever he lines up (Missin Sisson anyone?) He's already better at kickoffs than AV.

I'm going with "eventually"... though it's hard to argue with Husker's logic.

I don't know what the report was on Adam's first few pre-season games in his rookie season? Anyone? I'll take a chance and say Gost is equal to it.

As far as replacing Adam's record, only years and time will tell, I'm kinda hoping we won't be put in a good kick or loose situation anytime soon!

Replace? I don't think you replace a guy who delivered the margin of victory in three SB's. In that sense, I don't look for Gostkowski to "replace" AV. However, as a rookie, I do expect him to be more than solid day by day.

But what will he do when there's a blizzard and he has two kicks to send us to the SB or when there's no time on the clock and the Lombardi is on the line? We can't know but can only hope.
