Football without a kicker?
On the surface, that seems like a ridiculous idea. This isn’t the Canadian Football League, where kickers and punters have historically been one and the same. Jack Fox has attempted field goals in college, but that is too much to ask from the All-Pro punter. So why should the Lions release both of there kickers on cutdown day?
As the Detroit Lions learned following the retirement of Jason Hanson, finding a serviceable kicker can be a challenge. Matt Prater is no longer with the team, and the burden of replacing him has fallen to Randy Bullock and Zane Gonzalez.
