Coming July 19: AFC South Burning Questions, Bold Predictions
Houston Texans -- Kris Brown and Neil Rackers
Arguably, if the Texans had a reliable kicking game last year, they would have been in the playoffs. Brown, who has been with the team since its inception, became unreliable in practice and unreliable in games. Brown claims that his issues were mechanical and fixable but that they weren't in-season fixes. The Texans decided to bring in competition in Neil Rackers, another kicker who went from reliable to ... well ... not so much. So far, their competition has been pretty evenly matched. Special teams coach Joe Marciano says that the Texans even obtained smaller, arena league-sized goal posts for practice so that the regular ones seem bigger.
Kickers are notoriously inconsistent from year to year, but last year was a particularly bad one for kickers throughout the league.Tom Brady
