Brown missed 11 last year and was 29 of 33 the year before. Perhaps a little better and we would have been in the playoffs last year with another win somewhere.
On kickoffs, Brown has averaged two extra yards per kick, although some years Rackers had more yards.
Brown has been real good in Houston neighborhood, and last original Texan.
Rackers had best percentage of FG made last year of all FG kickers who kicked more than 2 FG.
Glad I don't have to make the choice, but likely both will be employed when season starts, my guess is it is Rackers to loose.
On end of game Saturday, they were gonna try a pass route first with 10 seconds left. I'm ok with that.

Rackers has the better, most recent track record but slipped a little in the playoffs.
I think Brown has the stronger leg but had a career low point last year. He went through something like this with Pittsburgh and it got him cut. He rebounded nicely with the Texans.... can he rebound again?
If they keep Brown, he will be under the microscope all year....
If they keep Rackers, he probably gets a little leeway. But if he starts messing up.... Houston fans are notoriously cranky about their kickers (and QB's for that matter. Thank goodness Schaub is "very good").
