Akers blows his leg on opening kickoff

[chicago JK]

Isn't it funny, the Eagles with a one legged kicker who could barely kick wound up with the better kicker over Oakland's former first rounder and healthy Janikowski.

The irony is that Akers was undrafted and SeBas was a first rounder.

Akers is one of the best kickers in the NFL. Never draft a kicker in round one especially when you need so much help because of aging vets at so many key positions.

That was the same year they grabbed Lechler in the 4th round. Lechler is a great punter, but a kicker and a punter in the first 4 rounds?
