Vandy's kickoffs yesterday...

I know there's been some discussion within a couple of other threads, but I thought his performance as the game went on is worth being highlighted. It seemed to me that in the second half he definitely improved his distance, no touchbacks but he did have a couple land in the end zone that were brought out. I also thought I counted two others inside the 5.

I've read other posts here where everyone thinks he had such a poor game kicking off. Throwing out the intentional squibber when we kicked off from Titans territory after the Haynesworth incident, I think he actually had a greater number of what could be considered quality kickoffs than bad ones.
To be honest, I didn't expect him to put any in the end zone at all, I figured he'd max out at around the 7 or 8 yard line.

Vandy had a couple of kickoffs I felt were poor other than that I have no problem with a guy putting the ball at on inside of the 5 yard line. I expect the special teams unit to get down field and make big plays.

It's also worth a mention that early they were trying to have Vandy angle the kick and he struggled with that. Once he could just 'tee' off and hit it straight down the field he did much better.

At this point, I'd have to say that he is not worth the roster spot he's got. If it were any other kicker, BP would have already called in Larry Allen to free up the roster spot IMO. Hate to say it but I think we are going to have to keep Suisham on the active roster.
