I would bringing in anybody to beat out Hartley

This is clearly a move to attempt improve the placekicking. Don't we all want that? Hartley is not bad, but if you can upgrade with a possible excellent replacement, then why not? Thomas Morstead remains among the elite punters in the game today. The fact that Maltos is also listed as a punter speaks for the fact that there is little or no specialization in the kicking game in Mexico. This is to be expected.

Why would they not just sign him to a one year if they only plan on using him as competition? moorestead needs no motivation. I would just as soon eliminate field goals altogether in our offense than deal with another year of Hartley

Hartley is sooooooo garbage...

In punting I would heartily agree. It is basically the same kick, but the placekick is from the ground quite often and relates to the motion (ei. soccer style) that the game currently employes for field goals.

Rugby is a drop kick, not a placed or grounded kick.

I was looking for a general reference. Not an actual comparison........dayum and you are right too.

Give him a chance to focus only on place kicking and our kicking game just might go south....literally.
