But, other than that, and Elliot's bad season, I can't remember ever having a season where we felt screwed at the position.

Did you really block out the Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards years?
Medlock? The highest % kicker in the NCAA to that point? God ****ing Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards ****ing ****ed his brain clear the ****ing **** out of his ****ing skull. Then he went to Canada and was nails for his whole career.
Conner Barth? Dude came in here and couldn't hit the ocean from a boat. Then stuck around the league for ****ing ever, just kicking field goals for everybody.
Nick Novak? Couldn't hit a ****ing thing here and then hung around the league until like last ****ing year IIRC.
I had to look the rest up because I had effectively blocked them from my memory, but here's the rest of Squrimin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards' kickers.
Dave Raynor (2007)
John Carney (2007)
GOD **** Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards. He never fielded a kicker we could trust.
Beyond that remember 900 Year old Morten Anderson not being able to kick over 30 yards and having to burn a roster spot for a kick off guy? All the while the Cheating ****ing Donko Bitch****s had Elam that would never ****ing miss.

There were several teams this year who went through 2, 3, 4, and even 5 place kickers. There were teams that kept one kicker, but that kicker missed quite a few kicks that cost the team games.
And there are teams that have a new punter every couple of years because they can't find one that can put the ball inside the 20, or because they can't punt directionally, and keep kicking to dangerous return men, or the punters are just wildly inconsistent.
Not only is Colquitt one of the best in history at putting the ball inside the 20, he is actually one of the leaders on the team. Most punters are the odd man out in a locker room. And Butker was once again the NFL's leading scorer, and was one of the most accurate kickers in the league.
As fans we never feel like we are about to give the game away when one of our kickers is coming onto the field. But many fan bases don't have that. So, we are spoiled when it comes to punters and place kickers because ours are rock solid.

Punters haven't been horrible but Succup was bad here under pressure and Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards couldn't field a kicker to save his ass.
