The Vikings last week released veteran kicker Dan Bailey, setting in motion once again a kicking carousel that has been spinning many times over the last several years.
Why do some teams struggle to find stability on special teams while others thrive? What can the Vikings do to find that coveted stability?
To help answer those questions, I talked to former Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell on Thursday's Daily Delivery podcast. Longwell presided over perhaps the most stable era of kicking in Vikings history, making 86% of his field goals during his six seasons here from 2006-11 — all while having the same long snapper (Cullen Loeffler) and holder (punter Chris Kluwe) for all six years.
