he has had it tough...

Jackie MacMullan with a pretty good Belichick joke:

In a perfect Belichickian sphere, the kicker would have stepped up to the microphone and announced, "I have to do a better job. I got outkicked in all three phases of the game."

He's going fine, and he sounds like he has his head screwed on right.

We are with you Gost. Make us proud.

Here's an interesting comparison for our 1996 rookie kicker and the 2006 version.....
Adam Vinatieri 1996
FG 27-35 77.1% longest 50 yards
PAT 39-42 92.9%

Stephen Gostkowski 2006
FG 13-17 76.5% longest 52 yds
PAT 32-32 100.0 %

It looks pretty similar to me..

And not to cherry pick stats but two of Gost's misses were blocked kicking off that dirt/sand pit we used to call a home "field".

Actually one was on the road vs the Jets in week 2.
