Saints Release Champ Bailey and NO Kickers left on Roster

08-30-2014, 10:05 PM

Considering how much Bailey was inactive in training camp and preseason his getting cut shouldn't have been a shock to anyone.

I am more surprised that BOTH kickers were released than I am by the Saints releasing a 36 year old safety.

What does surprised me is that neither of the back-up QBs have been released; unless I missed it.

Wonder if the Saints will bring this guy in for tryout?

Seriously, even I think that was a little much.

Coaching staff must like what they see out of P-Rob. Maybe he is finally living up to his draft status.

Maybe the Saints will call Bailey back

There's no question in my mind that Payton was mad about both the kickers. If you have a house cat, and it's acting up, being obnoxious, what do you do? You throw it out the door and let it stay outside for the night and make it sleep under the porch. Then you let it back in the next day and it will be nicer and very contrite, and it behaves better.

That's kinda what I think happened with the kickers. I think one of them will be back with us before long.

I thought we'd keep Bailey for sure. I guess Sunseri will be our nickle back. They must've sung Bailey's praises to motivate PRob.

Sunseri will be lucky if he is active on game-day.

Bush/White will come in on nickle situations.

I'll take that bet; Sunseri should vie to be the special teams captain... He'll get a lot more playing time than you think
