Interesting on Hartley

CashAndFlash · 12-01-2010, 07:51 AM

I really think having two FG kickers isn't as preposterous as it may seem.

I mean, on any given team, FG kickers account for a minimum of what, 30% of points scored? We've got three qbs, 5 wrs, 4 tes, and 3 running backs who are supposed to account for the lion's share of the rest, but it really might work to bring someone like Carney in for the shorter ones and keep Hartley for the long ones.

Experience and consistency for the chip shots, youth and leg strength for longer ones.

I know this will never happen, but hey, it could work.

I wonder what his stats are like in bad weather? Ultimately those kicks could be the most important.

I would have to bust out some Almanacs to figure that out.... However... He cant kick over 50% in the Super Dome with perfect weather..... I am not sure weather is that big of a deal unless we are talking 40 mph winds...

Hell, if we had a 50 mph right to left wind in the dome his kick would hook so bad it would smack him in the face.

Great stats x626xBlack. I guess Brees/Payton and the Saints have a great chance of going 4-1 in the failclowns nest when we play them.
