The kick is still coming from the 35, so you want a Kicker with a big enough leg to give you options.Same with FG's.  Yes, teams are going for it on 4th down more, but is it not just because the metrics say so, but they know that their kicker can't kick much past 50 yards?  I also wouldn't want to be down by 2, with 3 seconds to go in the game and have to go for a hail Mary, because my kicker had a weak leg.Yes, accuracy on XP's and FG's is the top priority with a kicker, but that didn't seem to keep Mason Crosby employed.  Leg strength is still important.The other factor in all this, that I think some of you are forgetting, the Packers are trying to make the best out of their available options, which weren't all that great of options.  High percentage Kickers don't just grow on goalposts.</blockquote>
