What about a kicker?
 
Do any of you know of someone still available via FA or a potential draftee?

Todd Peterson, Aaron Elling, and Jose Cortez are the only remaining unrestricted free agents. I think Carney is going to stick around another year.

well he is pretty good under 40. he did kick two over 50 last year or am i wrong. i mean that seriously because i could honestly be wrong. i would like to see us upgrade but if we don't oh well i could deal with john one more year

What about Conner Hughes at least I think that is his name. Some mocks have us drafting him in the late rounds is he worth a draft pick I don't know much about him

RE: What about a kicker?
 
I'm praying that the Saints are looking another direction for a kicker myself. Carney has to go. I'm hoping they are seeing something in a young college kicker that maybe we don't see. I mean, how often do you hear about kickers coming out of college anyways.

There was another guy on here who used to make kicker threads and defend Brooks. Maybe it's just coincidence. :roll:

Here's some info on Connor and I've had this guy in my draft this year:

Connor Hughes
Virginia
Senior
5-10, 172

WORTH NOTING: A leading candidate for the Lou Groza Award as the nation's best kicker ... preseason All-American ... one of the top returning kickers in the country ... second among returnees in field goals made (45) and third in percentage made (.818) ... second in UVa history in field goals made and field goal percentage (.818), and fourth in points (233) ... 19th in ACC history in career field goals and tied for 28th in career points ... owns four of the 11 50-yard field goals in school history ...is the only kicker with more than two ... his 17 field goals in 2004 are tied for fourth in school history ... holds the record with 23 in 2003 ... second in UVa history with 109 points in 2003 ... his 93 points last season are eighth all-time.

Not too shabby...Thanks Cheramie

No problem D, this guy seems to be a good one and I think he would be worth at least the additional 7th rounder we received.

TIGERSAINT31 03-30-2006 06:14 PM

We do have another kicker on the roster. Nate Fiske I think he is the barefoot kicker maybe there going to give him a shot.

spkb25 03-30-2006 07:34 PM

No problem my brotha and I forgot all about Fiske maybe they will let Carney start the season and if he screws up one more time shoot him on the sideline during the game and bring in Fiske.

spkb25 03-30-2006 07:48 PM

well at least make it a half time show cherm. they can have john running around trying to avoid being shot. if they announce that as a posible half time show in new orleans i am flying down to the game

Wasn't me. :bart:

Carney is just getting too old. He's no Morten Andersen so we do need one. There is actually a few very good kickers comming out of college this year worth looking at.

I forget which bowl game I was watching, It was one of the lesser games but the Kickers stats were awasome.
