If the FG is over 45 yards, I say use your punter and pin the other guys deep and play field position.
A lot of Saints games are decided by 3 or less. Imagine how many of those games we could of won with a long FG. Also, the morale of the team drops when FG's are missed after a long drive.

Everytime last year when we went to kick I always had a bad feeling.... I want to have a confident feeling like of 50 yards yep its money.... Lets see if one of these guys can be that consistent reliable kicker for us....

There is not a whole lot of them out there that I would like or that are better than Graham that we just cut.
