I'm anxious to see how he hits them in the Metrodome. I think he'll hit them very well. Aaron seems to be more poised and relaxed, bouncing back after a couple of misses. I'm anxious to see how it plays out."

Fortunately for them, head coach Mike Tice addressed reporters only after their good session. "Both kickers hit their balls very, very well," Tice said. "I'm pleased with the competition. Aaron seems to have a stronger leg, and we knew that going in, as it pertains to kickoffs. Both of them hit their field goals very, very solidly."

Thu, 02 Jun 2005 07:51:12 -0700
Don Seeholzer, of the Pioneer Press, reports the battle for the Minnesota Vikings place kicker job is underway. The battle does not appear it will be a cutthroat competition. Incumbent PK Aaron Elling and challenger PK Paul Edinger spent their first day together on the practice field engaged in congenial conversation. After signing Edinger, the Vikings made it a point to say the job is Elling's to lose, but the position is still very much up for grabs. "Probably the better field-goal kicker is going to have the better chance," special teams coordinator Rusty Tillman said. "On the other hand, field position is such an important thing; the kickoff is a big factor, too. But I think probably the first thing you look for in a kicker is the consistency making field goals." Edinger is the better field goal kicker, but Elling is the better kickoff guy.
Thu, 26 May 2005 06:01:54 -0700
Don Seeholzer, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice said despite the signing of PK Paul Edinger it is PK Aaron Elling's job to lose. "Aaron is our kicker unless somebody beats him out," Tice said. "If Edinger has a weakness, besides the fact he had an off year last year, it's that he's not a great kickoff guy. Edinger needs to work on his kickoffs, and Aaron needs to work on his field-goal accuracy. It will be quite a competition."
