One area the Cardinals certainly haven't had to complain about so far this season is their special teams, which have featured by far the most creative kickers in the league in PK Neil Rackers and native Australian P Ben Graham. Not only has Rackers, who has one of the strongest legs in the league, turned onside and pooch kickoffs into an art form, he also prides himself on his coverage ability. Graham, meanwhile, seems to have solved a major problem since the release of Scott Player with his consistently solid punting, "particularly dropping punts inside the 15- and 10-yard line," according to one team insider. "He has one kind of punt he learned from his Australian Rules Football days that is akin to a Phil Mickelson flop shot with backward spin that is very hard to handle." Daily team observers tell us Rackers and Graham regularly challenge each other in "football golf" games before practices, trying to hit different targets from various distances.
