Re: A new Kicker
[QUOTE=Schmohams;557521]Move over Garret Hartley, we are tired of your inconsistency, So much that I've been looking at all the kickers to come in the 2014 Draft and graded them respectfully.
2. Cairo Santos, Tulane Height: 5-8 Weight: 160 If we don't get Catanzaro I think we need Santos. He was 14-20 this year, 4 of those misses came from over 50 yards so you can't really blame him (He was 2-6 on 50+) The kid doesn't have much of a boot but is very solid. I'm sure some teams will pass on him because of his size, but who cares, he's a kicker. I expect him to fall into the 7th round, so we could trade down if we wanted to. Don't know how you can say he doesn't have much of a boot when his career long is 57 yards and hit a 56 yarder this year. He didn't miss a kick in 2012 and missed only 2 this year between 30 and 50. If he is a UDFA I would like to see him brought in to compete against Hartley. |

Re: A new Kicker
If you guys think drafting a kicker in the 6th round is stupid then look back to 1979 when the Saints drafted Russel Erxleben 11th overall. A huge draft bust, only lasted 5 years in the league.

Re: A new Kicker
Kickers are streaky. If you have a decent one, and we do, no sense in spending the time and effort to find another one. He'll have his ups & downs as well so unless the decent kicker you have dies, theres no sense in running down another one to replace him.

Re: A new Kicker
We do not call for the replacement of a kicker after he misses A kick... We do when he is progressively getting worse and ends up in the bottom 25 % of the league on accuracy and we are about to head into the playoffs.
2013 NFL Player Kicking Stats - National Football League - ESPN Garrett Hartley Stats - New Orleans Saints - ESPN We also want him gone when he is 69% at home. 42% when we win by 15+ points. 50% on Monday 63% on Turf 71% indoors 66% when tied Garrett Hartley Stats, Splits - New Orleans Saints - ESPN |
