Training Camp Battles

I want to see some pressure put on Garrett Hartley in camp. I think Jason Hanson could be a great addition, to fill that Carney/Kasay role of kicker-waiting-on-the-couch to come in, when Hartley screws up, and have him either jump in and take over or else coach him up a little bit. Hanson would be ideal for that "pushing him and mentoring" role, like Carney did when Hartley was actually kicking his best.

You're aware that Jason Hason retired, right? And stated that he's had heel problems.

Did not know about the heel problems. I knew he'd retired, but figured that retired kickers (without heel problems) can un-retire pretty quick if they get a call with the right offer, while they're on the couch. The reason I liked him was because, other than the emo freakshow of Hartley, Payton does tend to like older kickers, there is some precedent there.
