[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 999513"] The Packers didn't have two kickers on the 53 but elevated Ahmed for that game though. In addition I don't consider having two kickers active on game day as a smart approach at all. While most teams are hesitant to draft a kicker they don't have any issue using a waiver claim on one if in need of an upgrade at the position. The Packers moving on from Carlson would result in a total of $160K of dead money. I agree that's not a reason to hold on to him if he doesn't perform up to expectations. You have to realize that kickers significantly improved over the past few decades, that's why nearly all of the current ones rank among the leaders in field goal percentage in team history. Since 2007, Crosby is ranked only 53rd among 61 kickers with at least 100 attempts though. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that teams don't want to sign a kicker who doesn't have enough leg strength to kickoff into the end zone anymore. I definitely don't consider the Packers offense to be pretty good entering this season. Yes. [/QUOTE]
