Interesting on Hartley

Interesting that his away percentages are better than his home percentages.
John Carney's accuracy went to hell when they switched the dome turf to the newer product, ultimately leading to him losing his job. Before that, he was pretty much money.
I don't have any stats to back it up, but that's what I seem to remember happening.

Nice fact. If other kickers have struggled in the SD the turf could be a factor but you would also have to break down stadiums with the same turf. You could really digg in the weeds on the subject. I always say train like you are going to fight so why not practice in the SD that week.

Actually Carney's last year he played 16 games (full season) with the Saints was 2006, that year he had 92% FG accuracy!
They have used Sportexe Momentum Turf since 2006.

The only teams that use Sportexe Momentum Turf.
Ravins Cundiff 83.3% at home for 2010
Saints Hartley 50% at home for 2010
Vikings Longwell 100% at home for 2010
