Kicker Battle

They are saying its a draw but I believe Hocker will beat out Forbath

The first day of the place kicker competition was a draw. The Redskins worked on kickoffs (Zach Hocker’s were longer than Kai Forbath's) and field goals. Forbath made all four of his attempts -- two from 35 yards, as well as from 43 and 45 yards. All were down the middle, though the latter was too low and, with a hard rush, would have been in danger of being blocked. Hocker made his three attempts from 38, 40 and 45 yards. All were dead middle and at a good height.

I agree. If its a dead heat the job should go to Hocker b/c of his kickoff ability. The guy kicks touchbacks every time. That is a huge weapon in special teams. Is there a punter competition or does Malone have this wrapped up.

Almost none of this matters. The victory will go to who performs better in the preseason.
