Chiefs to take a look at another kicker today

The Kansas City Star
September 13, 2005

Lawrence Tynes finally has some competition.

Kicker Todd France was among four free agents scheduled to work out for the Chiefs today. France has gone to training camps with the Vikings, Giants and, this year, the Buccaneers but has never made a regular-season roster. France was the All-NFL Europe kicker this year after making 24 of 34 field goal attempts for Hamburg.

Tynes made two field goal attempts against the Jets but also missed a 32-yard try.

Offensive lineman Tyson Walter, fullback Joey Goodspeed and defensive lineman Alan Harper were also scheduled to work out. Walter played the last three seasons for the Cowboys, making nine starts.

Goodspeed made nine starts over the last two seasons for the Rams. Harper played the last three seasons for the Jets.

Not exactly automatic.

"France, 25, would appear to have slightly out-performed Bryant during training camp and in games. At one point, he made 33 consecutive field goal attempts at Disney's Wide World of Sports. France also has been perfect in the preseason, making all four of his field goal tries, including a 46-yarder at Miami Saturday"

Not to shaby....
