Bleeding Green Nation Vick Kick Holder

If Andy hasn't thought of it already, Michael Vick should be holding for Akers on kicks.  Ever since Koy Detmer left, Akers hasn't been the same.  He's now fully recovered from his pulled hamstring of a few years ago, but his league leading percentage has never come back.  It seems like everytime he misses, the replay shows that Sav is tilting it or the laces are facing the wrong way.  Sav hasn't been that great in this area.  With Vick in there holding the kicks, it will at least give the opposing team something to think about.  If they fear the gimmick play, they may not rush as hard trying for a block.  Their caution in anticipation for the fake would force them into a conventional defense on kicks.  It may help Akers this year.
