No wonder he couldn't get any long kickoffs. Just amazing he kicked as well as he did!

Remember that Simpsons episode when everyone thought Bart had the power to heal and the kicker broke his leg during the game. Then during the final play he tried to kick a field goal and it looked like it would be short, and his leg came flying through the air and knocked the ball over the uprights. Classic.

broken leg or not, kaeding still sucks...and i'm a HUGE CHARGERS FAN!!! i'm not blaming him on anything this past season, but he's not as good as any of the higher calibur kickers. i'm just glad we rarely use him and have had great punters the past several years.

i miss john carney!!! yeah, he's older now, but he was the shiz while he was here.

[Durstlimpbizkit]

That's ridiculous. I can't believe somebody would be that reckless.

His kickoffs were awful. They did 'suck'. That's probably what he meant.

And yes, I do know he wasn't the usual kickoff guy. They had to cut him so they could keep all the injured players on the roster.

True, he has been terrible in clutch situations but I still admire his performance last week desipte the injury. I would hope they look for someone with a stronger leg if they don't keep him on the roster...
