He deserves to be part of the Superbowl run. Congrads.

I'm sure his Christmas just got happier.

So one Day GH and Carney are battling, the next JC is his coach? I mean consultant.
Can we hire a pass rush consultant now? Maybe Jumpy?

Re: Carney resigned...
 

2 things I can figure is that we have some trick plays in our FG kicking that Paytong doesn't want to give up.

The other is there a potential play off team in need of a kicker?

Re: Carney resigned...
 

I think you nailed it with the latter but don't overlook the trick play either.

Re: Carney resigned...
 

.. or maybe this is a way for SP to keep a quality individual with the team and at the same time help his young kicker.

Re: Carney resigned...
 

This could be a nice move. At least we know Carney won't be beating us on a last second field goal in the playoffs.

Re: Carney resigned...
 

I love this move. This means Carney is still part of the team, I really hated for him to be released after all he has done this year. This guy bailed the Saints out of a nasty situation early in the season, and really did a nice job kicking. To me it looked like he wore down as the season went on, so it did make sense for Hartley to resume duties.

Class move by the Saints

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

Can we sign Deuce as a RB consultant to Reggie?

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

I like the sound of that....Duece could use a ring too !

Re: Carney resigned...
 

I had a feeling this would happen when they made the announcement. Every time Payton talks about Carney you tell how much respect he has for the guys professionalism.

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

Glad to hear it...and I'm betting that this is insurance that Carney doesn't kick the game winner for Dallas in the playoffs...

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

Tobias I think you have it right!

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

thats exactly why they held him the week of the game ,because how bad would that look to see carney kicking against us in the dallas game,it would have been a bullet in payton's heart, and the whole team. i smelled a rat when i saw carney on side lines in earthware

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

Brees and Carney go back to the Chargers days. They seem to be really close, on and off the field. I like the idea of having Carney still with the team. He's been a soldier for us for years, and he's won us more than he's lost us. I like the move, for whatever reason.

***sigh***

Re: Carney signed as Kicking Consultant
 

Is that a good sigh? or a bad one? :)
