How risky is move to Hodges?


Posted Oct 1, 2008

Early this week the Jets waived punter Ben Graham and moved on to Reggie Hodges. Are they taking a big chance?

It seems that way.

First off all, Hodges is very inexperienced.

Secondly, he's going to have to hold for field goals, so that adds a whole new question mark to an already struggling kicking game.

And thirdly, his practice kicking has been inconsistent.

While Hodges has a tremendous leg, and perhaps a bigger upside than Ben Graham, the Jets are certainly rolling the dice giving him the job at this juncture.
