[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 155574, member: 598"] Last season, we kept an extra tight end to help out at FB when we got a little thin there so it is possible that MM thinks along those lines as well. I cannot say as I agree with that. Sometimes you need the Mike Alstotts of the league to get the short yardage where I could not see Bubba diving into the line on 4th and goal. Atlanta tried experimenting with Koening playing both kicker and punter last year and found that he was terrible as a kicker when doing both. So they picked up Morten Andersen. On a rare occasion, like in the case of an injury, they can cover for one another but I think the biggest argument would have to be that an injury to one would eliminate 2 positions. Two many games are decided by 3 or fewer points to not keep to relatively capable specialists on the team. If you can remember back to the 80s, Joe Theissman came in for their injured punter and his kick made it something like 6 yards. (Yes, that WAS before his broken leg!!) You need someone back there that knows what they are doing. [/QUOTE]
