Longwell

I was kind of shocked that nobody picked up Rtan Longwell after we cut him in camp this year. He was/is one of the best place kickers in NFL history and they ONLY reason we cut him was because Blair Walsh looked to be a great, young replacement. But other teams have had horrible kickers this season and knowing that Longwell was still sitting at home, waiting for a call surprised me.

He finally got the call yesterday. The Seahawks kicker injured his calf in the Redskin's game Sunday and that left the Seahawks with no other option. They got the best replacement possible and now Longwell is in a Super Bowl hunt. Good for him.
