New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton expresses confidence in kicker Garrett Hartley

I agree there is no better option right now, but I'm not totally against him. You can't blame him for the missed 58 yarder against Washington, so this was really his first miss in my book. Sure it couldn't have come at a worse time, but hey, it happens.

The way Payton has been with specialists in the past couple years, I was figuring his job was in jeopardy. But to read how Payton is still standing behind this kid and the fact that he went so far as to say this guy will be our kicker for the next 5-7 years is astounding. That right there proves how good he is.

As for Hartley, he shouldn't have to be in that position anyway. We have the #1 offense in the NFL and only mustered up 17 points? I might be getting spoiled, but we should have steamrolled the Bucs like we did earlier and not relied on a field goal to win it.

Garret, if you're reading this.....keep your head up bro, we got your back!
I'll be putting my order in for a #5 Hartley jersey!
