If Brees has time to look at 1, 2, and then 3...he is getting enough protection, IMO.

Bout time Payton took the pacifier away..

I dont wanna make any WhoDats Mad But I Dont Think He Was Consistent.....Whenever He Lined Up To Kick I Got Nervous

I'd feel a lot better with Hartley attempting the Mid 40 to 50 yard field goals than Kasey. We will need Hartley back next year just for the range.

By next year we will hopefully have a new Super Bowl winning kicker.

We just might !

When he is on the field he is generally a consistent kicker. He starts out a little off and then gets it together and makes the kicks we need.

One thing NO has historically been very good at is kicking Field Goals. We were spoiled with "automatic" Anderson for so long. I'm with you I get nervous as hell with Hartley kicking especially after last year. I do think he has great potential but he also has potential to shank it as well. You would think something so repetitive you can get it down to a science and kick all off season. But what do I know.

3 things in kicking. Snap, hold, and timing of the kicker. If any of these are out of sync the kick is probably missed. Not every miss is the fault of the kicker.
