Is he a good kickoff guy ? Graham has been fine overall but I'd love to use a roster spot on a second kicker IF he can put a few in the end zone - edit, just checked his career stats.

PASS.

I'm guessing this would be a "Rolodex" workout, nothing more.

Interesting thought. The Jets and Baltimore are top 6 in the league in kick return average and we will likely we will be playing one of them next week.

In a related note the Chiefs and Colts are in the bottom 5 for kick return average.

Yeah, I was hoping he was a kickoff stud but he has one touchback EVER (in the NFL).

Another FLorida Tusker and UFL distance record holder (54yds). Due diligence? A possible replacement for Wright's roster spot?

Reiss has talked about this before. Often times, especially in a bye week, the Pats will routinely work guys out even if they don't have a specific need at that time. It's all part of their due diligence process in case disaster should strike.

Graham has done well for the Pats but I'll be less confident than normal if he lines up for a key field goal in the playoffs. No rap on him, he's been great, just missing my Gost security blanket!

Graham has kind of been a lost hero this season. Yeah, his kick-off's leave a lot to be desired but he's hit the field goals when asked and the loss of Gost hasn't been noticeable. Then again, leads of 20+ points in the 4th quarter haven't hurt either!

Novak is terrible. I hope we don't sign him.

The Brandon Five

Gost missed three FG's this year. Graham has not missed. I think the bigger issue is his kickoff ability (or lack thereof).

RayClay

Graham has a respectable amount of kickoffs career wise. Maybe the layoff caused him to lose a little. A bye week could put a little zip in his leg.

Gost has an extraordinarily strong leg, we have to accept there's not a replacement, especially an available one.
