Positives: Has a strong enough leg... Accurate and is money in the bank from 40 yards and in... Very productive... Consistent and extremely reliable... Was a four-year starter.
Weaknesses: Was not put in many high-pressure situations... Never devoted his full attention to football...
I think most of us are OK with him, it's just a matter of what $$$ he would want and whether he's worth it vs. a minimum salary guy. His 40+ numbers are very good, for some reason he has bad 30-39 numbers the last two years. Is it just one of those things or does he have some kind of mental block in that range ? His 3-8 in that range last year isn't going to work for us.AndyJohnson said:I think Edinger is a good K. Those that don't can you give some reasons?

I liked Edinger too. And then I started looking at how he's performed recently and I was appalled.
In 2005, Edinger was 3-8 in kicks from 30-39 yards last year, but 8-10 from 40-49 yards and 3-5 from 50+. His kicks avg. 63 yards, but 8 games were in the dome of Minnesota. Edinger also failed to record a touchback.
In 2004, Edinger was 2-5 from 30-39 yards, 4-7 from 40-49 yards, and 3-5 from 50+. His kicks were a paltry 60 yards and he failed to record a touchback.
Needless to say, I'd rather bring in Josh Huston or Steven Gostkowski. Especially since many of us were complaining about the fact that the returners from the opposing team were always starting from between the 7-10 yard line with Adam kicking the ball.

363839 said:I thought Edinger would be good as well and I was aware of those numbers that you posted regarding his accuracy at 30- 39 yds. Not good there, I guess. But I thought his kickoffs were alot deeper than AV. He consistantly put the ball in the endzone. If the player can bring the ball out and avoid a touchback isn't that more attributed to special teams ability or lack thereof, to contain.
Anyways, another strike against Edinger was that he choked for the Bears in big game kicks. I'm not positive but I think that may have been the reason the Bears let him go.
If the Pats really wanted this guy, they would have signed him by now, I think.
Not being an NFL scout, I'll just have to trust Belioli to come up with the right kicker.
