ESPN - Falcons turn to Andersen, consider signing Leftwich - NFL

People want Carney gone, so he is gone. Now they don't want Mare. Then they wanted Fred Thomas gone, now they want him back as a starter. Make up your minds.

Anderson was good (scratch that) great for us. At times that's all we had => 5 Anderson field goals and we'd win 15-14. He put his foot in our butts everytime we met him in a Falcons uniform. I hope he can kick it until he's 60.

Morten was great, especially under the conservative Mora, who ran 3 times any time we reached the 35.

He is not kicking anywhere near 50 yards. He was way short against Pittsburgh last year with the game on the line

Morten kicked 13 feild goals for the Atlanta coaches monday and made them all, including a 50 yarder.

Morton was the best kicker of all time and is a class act. Good for him that he's still competetive. As for Leftwich, I don't appreciate his skills as much as I do his heart. The Falcons need something as an alternative to Harrington and unfortunately Lefty is not much better.

I hate to say it but I was hoping Payton was kinda picking up the phone to get Anderson back on our team. Could you imagine what the dome would sound like when he lines up for a field goal?

I thought I was the only one here thinking about what you just said in your post...
I strongly feel though he'll retire as a Saint and not a Falcon

OK, Guys. His name is AndersEn, with an "E". Worst mistake in Saints history to let him go.
