Probably.

with Morestead overachieving on KO's, do we try to stash Hartley on PS?

I didn't think we could. But it looks like Hartley only played 8 games with the Saints last year. When you are active for 9 games in a season, you are no longer eligible.

any chance we carry all three on the 53? If Lance is healthy we could send Chase back to the PS.

Why? From a performance standpoint, Hartley hasn't done anything to lose his job. From the stupidity standpoint? Maybe.

Bring Hartley back. Cut Carney. Pray.

That's about it.

would suck for Carney to be so close to 2000 career points and 3rd all-time to lose his job this week

He'll get another gig. No worries.

Never thought I would say this but i want us to keep Carney. I like Hartley and all but Carney is getting it done so far, he's consistant and I liek that.

either payton didnt trust carney's range or he was just super confident in his offense to get the short yardage on 4th down

either way carney didnt get an opportunity to show his worth.....hartley hasnt missed a field goal for us in the regular season

yeah I agree
not to mention it would look good if he broke the 2000 mark with us and not some other team

when does the suspension officially end? Don't we need to make a move one way or the other?

As soon as the Jets game ended...

This scares me and this is going to be a tough one for Payton. Agree with Smashmouth. They let Carney go before and regretted it. Wish there could be another way out. I say we carry three and let the competion play out during live action before making this call. This could be done in three or four games. Place someone else on the practice squad for now.

arsaint · 10-05-2009, 04:46 PM

Did we go for that 4th and 1 because we thought we could make it or because we didn't have confidence in Carney to make a 45 yarder.

If you can't trust a guy with a 45 yarder in the Dome, that how little can you trust him outside???

I hate to change horses in the middle of the ride, but I wonder if we can afford to let GH go. Carney can't go forever (he'll be on Medicare soon!).

Maybe we get GH to sprain a toe and go on IR for the season, the keep Carney for the rest of this year.

Weather up here is wet and low 60s. Need some snow!
