Gonzalez vs Elliot was a bit of a wash with all things considered. Not a huge mistake on any level, but an intelligent pick.
Elliot has cold weather experience much more than Gonzalez does. Has a great record at short distance kicks and PATs. His percentage isn't the highest all-tolled, but thats purely due to one season of poor play.
In all honesty, I'm not fussed about the kickoffs. People act like they all have to be touchbacks, but that's nonsense. Most kick returns don't make the 25 yard line, so if we're making other teams field kickoffs then let them, they'll likely have worse field position.
