Roster Surprises the Rest of the Way?

Elliot has a little more leg, but tends to shank chip shots.  He doesn't make me "regret" going with Bullock.

My main concern regarding Bullock is the fact that, before last year, he was a journeyman with a career FG% of 81.3%.

If he keeps going at 90%, I will be unable to complain about him. My fear is he regresses back to what he was for the first 4 years of his career.

That and he is 50% from 50+ and 75% from 40+ in his career.

He's really good at chip shots though, I'll give him that (94% from 39 and below).

Comparatively, Elliot is 83.3%, 92.3% and 75%, respectively, from 50+, 40+ and chip shots.

Elliot still has a pretty small sample size, so 3 misses in chip shot range will likely not define his numbers for long. But hey. Maybe he just can't make the easy ones and it turns out that he is not fit to kick in this league.

We'll just have to wait and see. If Bullock continues to kick like last year (despite the lack of range potential) then we'll be just fine either way. 

But I just keep seeing Justin Tucker in Elliot every time I watch him kick. And when it comes to finding a "franchise kicker" that's the dream.
