    Novak had an NFL-low 10 touchbacks in 2014, all coming in the first eight games. Opponents had an average starting point of the 24.7-yard line after Chargers kickoffs, second worst in the league.

    Forbath is definitely the more accurate kicker, but I guess his leg is just not strong enough.

    Will be interested to see what they do to address the spot next year. Draft a big leg.

    He's a good field goal kicker but our special teams needs to get ready to stop kickoff returns because he sucks at getting toucbbacks

    Where is the guy who was defending Bullock the other day and saying he is a better kicker than Tucker? Is he going to come in here and bash BOB for making this move?

    He just lacked confidence. He looked scared out there.
