With all this talk about black QBs, blacks in upper management and blacks in the coaching ranks- why is there no outcry for the lack of black punters and kickers in the NFL? With the other thread about Rush, the only black punter/kicker I could recollect off hand is Reggie Roby (I think he was black, if he's not then it proves my point).
Before people ask themselves "who cares about the kicker or the punter?"- look at the Giants last year, or even the Jets. These skills are very important in the outcome of the game (see how the defending Superbowl Buccanners lost to Carolina). There's nothing that hypes up a defense more than a ball punted inside the 10 that puts the heat on the offense to move the ball.
So Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Johnnie Cochan, get hopping and find out why there is a lack of quality black punters/place kickers in the NFL and what can be done about it.

I don't recall seeing anyone black handling the sticks on the sideline, either....

there is no corellation between a team who got the wild card and lost because of stupidity, to that of a team who actually won their division and lost to a superbowl bound team.

Of course, but at the time if the Giants make the field goal they win.
And with the Jets, if Hall didn't make the FG 2 years ago, the Jets would haven't made it to the play-off.

All I'm saying that the importance of Punters and Place Kickers is usually overlooked.

Do we really need the darkies to take over the kicking positions as well?

There are a couple i know of...Rodney Williams who used to punt for the Giants, and Danny Kight, who kicked for the Browns for a while...

Seems to me most kickers are foreign(Gramatica, Janikowski, Andersen, Stenerud, etc), i guess from the soccer background perspective..
