notes	The Seahawks have been winning with defense rather than offense. Consequently my Preseason candidate for top kicker is way down at the bottom of the scoring rankings.

notes	So far so good for Martin. He struggled last year and in preseason, but has been perfect thru week 2. However, the TB offense hasn't given him many very opportunities.

NOTES:
1.	All stats are based on Standard Scoring (3 points for field goals and 1 point for extra points)
2.	"tried" = maximum number of kicking points the team could have had if they made every kick
3.	The Kdefensive "factors" are the median by which teams allow kicking points, as compared to their opponents average scoring
	(i.e. smaller numbers under 1.0 equal better kicking defense, larger numbers over 1.0 = not so good)
