Undrafted rookie free agent kicker Josh Lambo announced himself as a candidate for the Chargers kicking job with a standout performance against the Arizona Cardinals Saturday.
When I first heard the rumblings coming out of Chargers Camp that there was a legitimate battle for the Chargers kicking job, I dismissed them.
An inherent distrust of any and all undrafted free agent kickers and the fact that Nick Novak, the Chargers' kicker for the last three seasons, has missed a total of nine kicks over that span led me to that conclusion.
These rumblings were mostly based off of the fact that Josh Lambo, ostensibly this year's camp leg, regularly kicked the ball out of the end zone while Novak delivers kickoffs to the 5-yard line on his best day.
