He doesn't have the booming leg as Blake.

On Nick's last podcast, he used the word "inconsistent" a bit when describing the new guy. If he starts shanking em, he won't last very long.

What's crazy on Blake is that 2 seasons ago, he was considered one of the best punters in the league. Fast forward to now, he's fallen off badly.

And thus is why he's on the street.

Looks like Sean building a football team :beatnik:

Will the Saints be the Farm Team for the rest of the league again :rolleyes:

He might even be a better kicker in the mile high stadium. Thin air helps the ball travel farther. Although, if you've ever kicked a ball in cold weather it doe feel like kicking a big rock.

If Grupe does what he did in training camp and works on his long kicks over 60 yards I won't miss Lutz too much.

I like giving the kid a chance. Here's hoping he sets a league record for extra points. 😁

I wonder if Grupe and Headley were each others holders in training camp. Honestly the punter battle was so close that it could come down to skill/familiarity as a holder. Also, if Hill is going to be our gameday #2 QB not Winston with the new rule, that could change some dynamics if either of them were the preferred holder for anyone else. It's best if everyone is on the same page.

I think I remember a update by Underhill saying that the last few practices had Gillikin holding for Grupe and vice versa for the other two. Can't find it right now. I remember thinking it would be Hedley and Lutz moving on. Could be wrong, but think it was that way.

I believe Headley will be on a short leash.

He didn't exactly light it up at training camp or in preseason games.

My guy Blake G just had too many 20-yard shanks :rolleyes: .

I cannot emphasize enough how critical special teams play & field position will become down the stretch.
