Carney's last kicks?

ScottF · 10-03-2009, 11:39 AM

Is this the last week of the John Carney audition?

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

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

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

I hope not .... I think SP learned his lesson a couple of years back.

I still can't believe Olindo found a gig after the Saints. Did the Seahawks not go the tape on this dude?!

If Tynes keeps missing 21 yd. fg's, Carney may end up back in NY.

Wait O' Minute?

Wasnt Hartley missing gimmes in preseason???

No Freakin Way.

Kickers are flaky, and the best way to choose kickers is to weed out the flaky
ones first. If you're missing what amounts to an extra point, something's wrong upstairs-- dont blame the holder.

Lets go with the kicker who hits consistenly within his range and gives us no
surprises.

Carney was nailing it from 53 yards during warmups yesterday. I watched.

Seattle needs a Kicker..

I guess this is a nice situation for the Saints. I say don't mess with how things are now, but at the same time I really like Hartley. I honestly don't think the Saints could stash Hartley on the practice squad, there are some teams looking for a kicker.

As for Seattle, Mare actually had a nice year for them last season, this year he looks more like the guy the Saints had a couple seasons ago.

Very true, if Carney is released he should have no problem finding another gig for this year. He is still an excellent kicker.
