If there is no competition why was Brown doing all the kicking?  If Bullock is the kicker they are going with no matter what then why not give him the opportunities in preseason?  You know to get some game time kicks, for example from 55 yards, like the one Brown nailed with room to spare?  Are they afraid Bullock will get hurt or something kicking a field goal in preseason?  Or is this some standard weird response from Merv that might mean later there really is a competition?  If not, are they just letting Brown kick in the preseason games to audition for another team?  I don't get it.  I am not sure how they have been comparing in practice, but I'd like to hope there is still a chance at a competition between the two.

you rarely find a team with just one kicker in training camp and early preseason.. for example Dallas also had a second kicker tonight and that kicker has no chance on making team.  Bullock secured the job last year and performed well and has also been fine in the preseason.  at least if something happens during camp to Bullock , they have put Brown out there to gain confidence.
