Second Comparison: Power: Nick Folk's career long is a 53, while Feely's is a 55. Negligable, again. Feely's stats from 40-50 are 58-81(career), while his 50+ are 10-20. Folk's are 22-30 and 5-9, respectively. Folk has a slight advantage and will only get better. [B]Folk has a cannon for a leg[/B], so expect those numbers to rise.

Winner: Nick Folk

Fourth Comparison: Kickoff: Nick Folk did not kickoff in his first year, but in his career managed a 61.1 average. Feely achieved a 63.3 average. He also has about 88 more touch backs, [B]to Folk's 4[/B]. Feely also has 6 onside kicks out of 20 recovered to Folk's 1 out of 5.

Winner: Jay Feely

I don't understand this.

If Folk has a cannon for a leg, how is Feely a better kickoff man?

I see the numbers, I just don't understand them.
