Mare will be able to put up Carney-like numbers kicking in domes 10-12 times a year.

Think about the touchback factor. EVERY one of Carney's KO's were returned, which is a potential TD or injury on every kick, not to mention starting at the 25-30, instead of the 20.

My issue is Mare's price tag- $2 million. Hopefully that will even out, since we will now have rookies and cheaper vets on special teams

I thought Carney did really well last year. I am a little weary of Mare and his numbers. I think Carney deserved another year.

Carney really lost some leg strength last year and Mare has better leg strength I think its a good pick up by the saints....

A good pick up, you save money by having only one kicker and the touchbacks will be something we haven't seen since Morten Andersons.
