Alex Henery

Bad idea.

Do it all specialists typically haven't been very successful in the league.

K. Pretty sure Alex isn't everyone else considering he broke everyone elses NCAA kicking record.

[Lumps]

What round exactly do you draft a top kicker/punter specialist?

I like the idea. Kasay well maybe he can become a coach or something, it's time for someone like this.

[DaCityKats]

il do it.earlier in the football season i stated we should draft the k from Miami because he did all three things well and because it will give us extra roster spots.

Only Kickers worth drafting our Chris Hazley who has the leading percentage this year of 95.5% or Alex Henery who is tied for 2nd with a percentage of 94.7

[Carolina Husker]

He's the best kicker in Nebraska history, and we've had several kickers who have had long careers in the NFL.

Oh, and he's probably the best punter we've ever had, too.

[TheMostInterestingMan]

And with the first pick in the 2011 NFL draft, the Panthers select...

i would add kai forbath to that list, even though he struggled a bit this year

Kasay's not going anywhere as long as he wants to be here and JR is still the owner. With that said, if this guy is as good a punter as some are saying, then bring him in as Baker's replacement, not Kasay's. He could also do KO's until Kasay decides to hang it up, then take over FT kicker duties at that point. That way, we free up one roster spot (Lloyd), and have Kasay's replacement already on the roster when he does decide to retire.

The only question is what round do we spend a pick on a him, and what round would he go if we do not take him? While I can see his value, we have other needs. And if there is no FA prior to the draft (which seems likely), we will need to use our picks to fill definite needs since we won't know for certain who we will or can get in FA.

Stupid idea to have one player fill both roles of kicker and punter.

Atlanta tried this a few years ago with that kid named Koehner or something like that I think. Didn't work.

#1 problem with it is that the opposing team can take out one guy early in the game and ruin you. Don't even think for a minute that another team wouldn't do it in a heartbeat, especially if it was a play-off game or a win and your in type game.

I'm all for drafting the kid in the later rounds if he is there but to think that he could save us some roster spots because he can do everything is stupid.

[The Saltman]

saw him while I watched a couple of nebraska games. the guy is amazing.

[jayflip]

Just draft #90's this year to replace that one guy...

[Kevin Greene]

We need to address the kicker issue as 2 kickers and a punter is a ridiculous luxury we can't afford.

One problem I see with a do it all kicker. One cheap shot on our kicker in a big game and we're done.

Some punter/kicker combo would be advisabale me thinks.

Koenen didn't lose his PK duties cause he got hurt. He got benched cause he sucked at it. Not sure how that helps your argument.
