Yikes.

Good info. Maybe we could get Junior Seau for him.

Lions have split place-kicking and kick-offs between 2 guys for years now. Bears should bring in a guy who can at least pin teams back on the 20 for kicks offs, and let Gould focus on getting his head / foot /whatever right in the place-kicking game.

Wow.
Two things...
Using the Lions as any kind of examples for anything is crazy...
And saying Gould needs responsibilities reduced to focus on kicking FG is hilarious.
Hello? He's a kicker
I don't think kickoffs once or twice a game are distracting to the serious business of a couple field goals.

Yup.. That's exactly why you get rid of players before they fall.

It seems obvious, but teams keep players too long all the time. We'll see if the Bears do exactly that with Forte. The right move is to cut him loose after this season.

He just turned 33 and looked like one of those guys who could kick forever. I don't think the problem is age
