What is the big deal about Verity? He made some kicks in a preseason game against the Saints so now he's some sort of kicking machine? If he was really as great as some around here think why hasn't any of the other 31 teams snatched him off of the practice squad?

Well?

Same reason we snatched up Will Lutz from the Ravens a few years ago. He's consistent, young, and accurate. If the Ravens still have you on their squad as a kicker, you must be legit. They just so happen to have a legend, J Tucker, in front of him.

Low-risk, high reward on Verity ... Unless you believe our offense is so good that we can't use his services

Lutz had a groin injury & those can & will linger.

How do you know he is consistent? He's never attempted a regular season kick in the NFL. I'll give you young. Accurate? Maybe. No way to know for sure until he actually kicks for real.

6 - 7 extra points. 4-5 FG attempts. Is that not consistent?

He couldn't be any worse than the Cody or the dude we just cut. You can only do so much when Tucker is getting all the reps at practice. Nonetheless, Verity is a damn good kicker & sure as hell got my attention in the preseason and also against playing us (53 yarder). Pre-season is for evaluation right?

The Saints aren't good enough to get by right now. We need all of the points we can get.

In preseason against backup special teamers ... nothing there to get excited about. He kicked a 53 yard meaningless FG against us in preseason. Once again, if he was all that then why hasn't any of the other 31 teams picked him up off the PS?

As Matthew pointed out, Verity was only 14-21 in FG attempts his senior year at East Carolina. 74-98 his entire career. He was no more than average at a small school.

What's the hype?
