Reading this reminded me how great the kickers are in the AFC West. :)

"I think this is the best kicking and punting division in football. Our top five guys could be a serious contender to be ranked No. 1 in any other division. It’s a power group."
1. Shane Lechler (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2273), Oakland: He is a special talent. Watching him boom punts is a thing of beauty.
2. Mike Scifres (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4607), San Diego: This guy is a superstar, too. Scifres is a placement artist.
3. Dustin Colquitt (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8513), Kansas City: It’s too bad he plays in the same division as Lechler and Scifres. Colquitt is a star in his own right.
4. Sebastian Janikowski (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2148), Oakland: He is getting better with age. I’m not sure he was worth the record contract Oakland just signed him to, but Janikowski is a weapon.
5. Nate Kaeding (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5590), San Diego: It’s a shame Kaeding is most known for his postseason woes. The guy is very good.
6. Matt Prater (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11122), Denver: Prater is a kicker to watch. He improved greatly in 2009 and he is terrific on kickoffs.
7. Ryan Succop (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12731), Kansas City: Don’t look at his ranking as a negative. He is very good and he should be for the next 10-to-15 years. He showed a great leg as a rookie. Again, this is just a terrific class.
