FG Kickers
 
What happened???

We use to have FG kickers on just about every team it seemed that could kick 50 yarders almost automatic.

Someone get to the soccer fields and find us a kicker already.

Yeah, but 58 yards is a stretch for most kickers in the league past and present. 4 out of 5 in Hartley's first game back on the active roster on a sloppy field is pretty impressive. Every FG he made was dead center. I never once cringed or looked away from the TV when he kicked.

Yeah the field conditions were horrible for long kicks. That 58 yard kick could well have been good in a dome. And remember, Hartley made 2 game winning FGs in the game. :D

No worries.

He hit it straight, but even the announcer said he hit it fat. He was trying to put a little extra leg into it and just took some turf first. Almost like he was trying to backspin a 9 iron. I think in the dome he makes that kick.

Carney MUST go.

Its time to get rid of Carney thank him for his services and gear up for the playoffs with Hartley. He looked good yesterday outside of the miss and that last minute field goal would of been good in the dome

My guess is Sean Payton keeps both kickers on the roster throughout the playoffs.

Did someone check Hartley's bag for adderol at the gate before the game? He sure looked like he was concentrating really hard. :p

I don't think Euph was diss'n on Hartley. I think his point was that 10yrs ago it seemed like 50-55yd field goals were more common than today... and I tend to agree.

He's right and Morton was automatic. I think we forget how powerful of a kicker he was. He was automatic from practically anywhere.
