Pick Buehler's PK USC profile *Merged*

[casmith07]

Buehler might have to punt if McBriar isn't the same, too.

Since this thread has been brought back to life, I'd like to add this.

Whether or not we like the pick now, I do think this is the sort of selection that will have our heads spinning as we change our opinion if he's able to consistently drill the ball to the goal line or beyond.

Folk's kickoffs were such a problem last year -- system or not -- that it would be a pretty huge turnaround to suddenly have the ball sailing 3 or so yards into the end zone.

Of course, conversely, we'll look pretty silly if his kicks flutter no farther than the 7.

do you guys just ignore the difference in having 11 able bodies running down the field in KO coverage instead of 10?

THAT IS HUGE!!!!

the whole idea of returning a kick is get 10 bodies on people and the kicker should be no problem for the returner.... well now he will be..

you all remember miles austin returning kicks right? obviously the KOS can be important in defending returns, and now we have like the beastiest KOS in the league..
