Kevin-  Maybe "security blanket" isn't the best way to put it.  But the offense needs to get Vernon Davis more involved.  It would be nice for Kaep to have a second target to go to reliably.

I definately think that the team needs to go into the playoffs with a different kicker.  Aker's has had an awful season field goal wise.  I think Harbaugh keeps him around because he is still able to kickoff deep into the endzone.

Off to Red Lobster for the annual family New Years Eve dinner.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
