But that's my point Strato, if we had taken care of things, we wouldn't have had to give the game to Hartley in the first place. Twice. Yes, Hartley blew it, but his was only the last in a string of failures all game long.

totally agree with you Danno, but the kick was Soo easy. He over powered the kick an choked

I'm being serious, I don't know of anyone just "available" off top of my head. They're all playing for other NFL teams.

u have a point halo, someone may have just missed the cut because of seniority, maybe someone like that. another rookie; yes but with balls. lol

its in Hartley head, he just keeps kicking bad. 29 yards!!!!!!!! you could pick 50 college kickers out of a hat and all 50 of them will drill that kick!! Hartleys a pro and hes not acting like it. Sean P better make sure hes worth keeping around.

I said we needed a new kicker last year when he went on a missing streak and I got beat down....

He had some "big play" goals, but he really does suck. Whats his % this year, it cant be over %70? And I mean with in 40 yards!

What about Kris Brown. He is a pretty solid Place kicker, he just got beat out by Neil Rackers. Bring him in for a tire check. Lots of experience.
