    One article said he had never kicked in a game? Where has he been and was he good in college?

    Wikipedia says he also punts - can he do double duty and free up a roster spot?

    Scobie had an impressive history, but it ain't working any more.

    Ain't that the truth. From today's Trib-Review sports section, they have a "Back in Time - Oct 3" entry (sort of like a this-day-in-history feature):

    2010: Josh Scobee kicks a 59 yd FG, the 8th longest in NFL history, as time expires to give Jax a 31-28 victory over Indy.


    On that same date, Everyone's favorite replacement kicker, Jeff Reed missed 2 FGs at home vs Balt. And the Steeler lost 17-14 as Flacco threw a TD Pass with less than 1 minute left. Ben missed the game, and Batch was the Steelers QB
