Saints sign Dustin Hopkins to practice squad

Perhaps our kicker in 2015... Or at least part of the competition.

I'm so jealous of teams like Indy and New England who've had the same, reliable kickers for it seems like a decade now...

Young competition. Welcome to the Saints.

ChrisXVI · 12-17-2014, 06:13 PM

Apparently we're the only team with a kicker on it's practice squad... Because y'know, that's the type of personnel decisions we make nowadays.

Kind of a sad commentary on our depth. A practice squad spot on a kicker. Could be worse, I reckon...next would be a practice squad spot for a long snapper or a special teams coordinator.

Hope he is as good as Morton Anderson was!! Are there any lb.'s on the practice squad.

Danno · 12-17-2014, 06:27 PM

Damn, I was hoping for K Anthony Hoffman.

at least we did not spend a 6th round pick on him so lets see what happens

Not quite sure why he is not kicking somewhere now. Everything I read shows he was winning the job in Buffalo until he was injured and out for the season. Carpenter is a really good kicker and if he was beating him out we should of signed this guy 3 missed 30 yard FG's ago.
