Taylor Mehlhaff is a K?

Re: Taylor Mehlhaff is a K?
Mehlhaff is going to win games for us NEXT year. not to belittle any of our other acquisitions this offseason, but this guy may be the best of the bunch simply because kickers put up more points than anyone else on the team! (excluding ladainian tomlinson)

Re: Taylor Mehlhaff is a K?
Drafted kickers are always good, right?
Apparently you don't even know your own Saints history there. Get a clue man. And besides, your little message board posts and idealism is not going to do anything for this guys game. But hey, if daydreaming about mostly unlikely scenarios is your thing hop, frog, hop. Just dont' act like everyone is in on your delusions about it, ok? Lets not forget the wild speculations that came with one RB that hasn't quite "lived up to the hype" so its a bit more responsible and mature to not get all wide eyes and speculative yet.... "dont call him a cowboy, till you see him ride" |

Re: Taylor Mehlhaff is a K?
God I hate kickers. I think they should pay their teams for the privelege of playing.
If the kid will tackle and be a threat on trick plays, I may warm up to him. |

Re: Taylor Mehlhaff is a K?
Great Vids : I think preseason is going to be the proving ground for him. We will see for ourselves then. Think that Gramatica will stay or will his pride be hurt if this guy beats Him out ? Hope the team will keep both for insurance as Gram did come through for us last year and I think Gram is an damn good field goal kicker (of course kickoffs he is just average). Problem is a lot of teams think kickers are expendable and the Saints traditionally have been one of the worst allowing this to happen. I hope last year taught Payton a lesson.
