I'm just saying how much learning and developing does a damn kicker need. I think we put too much into that. They just need to kick the freakin ball. That's it, no tricks, no schemes, just make the kick. In Elliott's defense I said maybe it's nerves or the goal post being closer. Never said he needs developed like I've heard on hear which is total BS.

I disagree with that.  We have a great special teams coach in Simmons who can help Elliott turn into a great NFL kicker.  I don't believe you come out of college knowing everything you need to know. If he doesn't, someone else will. Also, a great preseason isn't gonna show up in his stats, which say he's in the low 80s and hasn't played a full season since 2014. If he's so great, why has he played for 6 teams? You'd think Houston would have kept him. We're gonna go with the average guy who did well in preseason and he will let us down again when it matters. I just wish the Bengals would choose differently but they always choose that path.
