The Toboggans
Jamarcus Vinatieri is hurt again, and this time it is an ACL and the whole season. The backup inherits the job for now.
Across five seasons: 6,892 yards from scrimmage, fifty-six touchdowns, seventy-five games. He got to 2,358 once. Not this time. He has done it in two buildings.
Twenty-eight, and Ojo Caliente, New Mexico before that. Ask anybody: he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. He was a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team.
The Toboggans are 7-5 through thirteen weeks. Terrell Thackeray is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.
Vinatieri never takes his helmet off between series.
