IR that makes a big difference. Thanks sam,
Well I am still concern about our kick coverage unit. I guess we will find out how good they are now that every kick off will be returnable.

Re: Saints sign K Martin Gramatica
 

I heard it on 1420 ESPN Radio yesterday but haven't read it anywhere..

Re: Saints Sign Martin Gramatica!!
 

I may be wrong, but based on their stats, I think that Gramatica is an improvement over Mare. Gramatica only had 8 attempts, but he did convert on 75% of them, with the longest being 48 yards. He was also 14-14 on PAT's. However, Carney is better than either of them IMO, but, unfortunately, we missed two opportunities to re-sign him this season.

From what I saw in my time in TB he couldn't hit near the end zone nearly enough times on kickoffs.

Re: Saints Sign Martin Gramatica!!
 

One thing no one is mentioning (which is a huge asset), is Mare's ability to onside kick. The guy is money.


Now, if we could keep Bullocks off the 'hands' team :(

Re: Saints Sign Martin Gramatica!!
 

I'm guessing that Weatherford will be kicking off again.
Weatherford has been the most consistent player for the Saints all year.

that is exactly what I was thinking. Wetherford has a strong leg, leg him practice kicking off and send Automatica in when the attempt is less than 45 otherwise punt. I just hope we do not need any long FG's the rest of the way.

Re: Saints Sign Martin Gramatica!!
 

Hey, if he's 50% he's as good as what we had. Have faith until he proves you wrong. Seems like everybody's down on him already and he hasn't kicked a ball for us yet. Sure he has a past but as much of it was good as was bad. Give the guy a chance.

I am with you JOESAM, give the little Hamburglar dude some slack.
