Re: Throwback kicker's physique?

In the still photo he reminds me a little of Tom Dempsey, or going further back, Lou Groza.

His signing could be another trend-setter for the Rams. We have the first big running-throwing QB in Roman Gabriel, first flat-out speed and athleticism pass rusher in Deacon Jones, and now if we draft him, we move the needle from rotund cold-style kickers to long and lean soccer-style kickers to pudgy placekicker. Think fo how that would appear as a roster designation: You'd have P for punter, and...

I think there may be certain advantages to his build at the position: Look at all the power and momentum to be gained when approaching the ball by swinging the pudge to the left (as shown) and transferring that extra momentum to the foot as it is pulled through from the right. Why don't some of you Ram Bros who are thus endowed get up off the couch and try it, and let us know how it works?
