I actually can't remember off top my head. It was adderall which contains amphetamine. If he legit has ADD or ADHD, there are non-amphetamine medicines that treat it.

All this is speculation as neither Hartley nor the team have said anything about it since it happened.

And I thought he was having hip flexor problem that had been nagging him and eventually turned into crap when he played in the preseason game last year?

Keep the young dude.
I doubt if we are consistently asking either of them to hit a bunch of 50 yarders.

With all the veteran kickers on the street, I wouldn't be shocked if we cut both and signed one of the proven vets.

At this point, that don't sound like such a bad idea, Danno.

My problem with Hartley is I don't trust him in pressure situations. I would go with Kasay...and if he doesn't cut it, I would fall back on whoever else is out there. We need consistency, and Hartley doesn't represent that. Let him be someone else's project.
