Not CamHe might fear God, but every other QB fears Khalil
Always wondered why this hasn't become a thingI'd like to see us release Janikowski, and expand King's role to Punter AND Kicker. Create an extra roster spot. Streamline the whole kicking aspect in the NFL to one specialist player.
Fear will be great if the Raiders can add a monster DT and a bookend edge-rusher.
with the news of the LA rams releasing chris long and james laurinaitis, both positions of need, if i were reggie i'd sign both to a tidy three-year contract or two year prove it kinda deal. wouldn't hurt our cap space at all. both needed depth. and if one or both do a "crabtree" then we're laughing.

Back-up QB can do the holding, they generally do. Adds trick-play element too.Nice idea in theory, but this isn't Madden. I asked a friend who was a College Punter a few years ago the same question, and they said the technique is completely different, release point is different etc. Would also need to find a "holder" for the place kicks. Teams don't like using a "position player" as the holder because of the risk the holder has regarding their fingers.

And kicking is kicking. In the old days, players went two ways (even three ways). It's not rocket science.
Just saying it's not like players can't do that. If a team did revolutionize the roster by having just one all purpose kicker, other teams would follow imo.Teams don't like the backup QB to do the holding, because of the risk associated with getting their fingers injured on the placekick. It's why they designate that job to the punter. Very few QBs in the league are holders these days.
In the old days, kickers could barely kick 40 yards and they kicked directly front on with the toes. Times have changed. Football is now so specialised, it's not a game anymore where you will see a Blanda throw a TD pass and then kick the extra point

What happens if the kicker gets injured during the game currently? The punter has to take kicks. It's no different.And the moment that the kicker gets injured in a game, who as head coach will you give the kicking duties to in that instance? Kickers and punters do get injured during games. I was at the Coliseum when Shane Lechler got injured and Seabass did his 1 and only punt in the league. Teams just won't take that risk. It's akin to the ridiculous risk that DA had by not having a designated long snapper at the start of 2012 only for Condo to go down.
