Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Remember Tracy Porter? He lost one step and we cut him like a bad habit. Now there was a HERO. Number 5 is no hero.

Number 5 spends about a full minute of playing time on the field each week, if he is LUCKY. One minute.

The O-line, as deficient as they are, battle it out in the trenches for a full sixty minutes. This man waltzes on, in a Dome, with a home team crowd and schizophrenia takes over.

DUMP HIM. Let's see what Morestead has in that TRULY TALENTED leg of his.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Morestead is a punter only. He didn't have great stats as a FG kicker in college.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

The first miss was aweful, his typical pull left. The second kick looked good and straight but was just not lined up well. Don't get me wrong, Hartley gives me "Reggie on a punt return" heartburn, but up to this game he was doing OK.

Re: Fartley? Really?
 

No, he needs a shrink. He needs someone to help him prepare to get out of his head and just do what he does -- which is kick a football long distances sometimes accurately. But, the question isn't whether physically he can do it. He has the physical ability.

Someone here said he is a head case. Agreed. He needs someone to help him with the mental side of the job.

For what we are paying him, he can afford to hire someone to teach him meditation, visualization, grounding and focus exercises or something.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Is Erxleben still available? :)

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Yes, but he had 34 rushing yards and 4 tackles :)

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Is Kickalicious available? Hartley is good just not consistent.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Wait, he misses a couple of kicks in a blowout and people call for his job? No posts about the Brown getting blown by every game and getting Drew crushed. The guy is human. You people here have got spoiled with out past kickers.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

We just need to grab the kid from Tulane next year. Santos is money from 53 yards in.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Yes he is....

You don't read anything but thread titles do you?

Re: Fartley? Really?
 

I think, THINK, we punted on 4 occasions as follows:
4-3-NO 47,
4-16-NO 14,
4-13-BUF 43,
4-9-NO 31

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Mark Ingram was the Heisman Trophy winner. Look how far we've come.

I'm more interested in what a kicker can do NOW.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Who else do you bring in? If they were any good they would be on a team already.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Kickalicious!

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

I'll kick for them. Same results but at least it will be half off on the salary cap.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Hauschka is a FA next year


What happened it the guy we had in camp this year?

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

That's what I was thinking.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

The Mexican dude?

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Only problem is, the score was 0-0 at the first miss in the first quarter, and 7-0 Saints at the second miss in the second quarter. So at the times he missed both kicks, it was far from a blowout, and the Bills weren't bending over like many thought they would. Don't get me wrong, I supported this guy looooong after most on here had thrown him to the dogs. But now, even I get a tight feeling in my stomach every time Hartley walks on the field. I would love to see this guy turn into Morten Anderson, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

When it gets unnerving for me to watch him kick i think its time to look for another kicker, Hartley is going to have me on prescription medication soon... We are doing too good this season for us to rely on his some-timer kicking.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Correction we have enough problems with our O-line, running game, and red zone performance for us to have to rely on his some-timer kicking

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

What jeanpierre said, except for the spoiled part. Shankley is not even mid pack in accuracy in relation to the rest of the league.

56 yards, wind, rain, bad snap, bad hold, death in the family, game on the line, broken skateboard.. all completely understandable.

The most perfect circumstances a professional kicker could ever ask for, at normal yardage... Its inexcusable.


We are not expecting perfection, we are expecting 3 points when the conditions are perfect.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Why can't we have one of these?

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Perhaps we should have spent 2 draft picks on a kicker instead of a punter.;)

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Funny, I was looking for this because we know you love the punter, haha.
I would love to have a field goal kicker as good as Morestead is a punter however.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I'd much rather have a mediocre punter and a great kicker than a great punter and mediocre kicker.

I can definitely see us spending a pick on a kicker next year. Or maybe sign a stud free-agent kicker?

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Wonder if we shouldn't sign a Rockette while in New York?!?

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

I read somewhere that you are a jackass. Does that count?

This isn't the only thread you didn't read, and it's "azzh0le"; which doesn't change anything.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Fellas, f'Hartley is the schmuck that missed the field goal...

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

Off with his foot!!!

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

sHartley has seen his last season as a Saint. I can see them bringing in another kicker soon, and replacing him next year.

The Mexican dude we had in camp has to be better than Suckalicious.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

The FG Hartley missed was not the difference in the game so I don't get all of the hate on Hartley.

The majority of the blame should go to the O-Line, the WRs, namely Toon and some to the play-calling.

The defense isn't totally blameless for letting Ivory run all over them, but they did force a 3 & out late to give the offense a chance to win it.

Re: Garrett Hartley
 

made a 55 and a 43. Ill take it. He is not the reason why we lost. The o-line and the lack of a running game. If the Saints want to go far into the playoffs they better find people that can block and feed PT the ball. Drew threw the ball 51 times.
