Re: Saints kicker calls regulation miss “unacceptable,” “unfortunate”
Well you live and die with your kicker been a bit of a revolving door here.
With kickers it's all a mental game and seems to be percentages. SP does not have a great track record not to mention a love hate relationship. |

Re: Saints kicker calls regulation miss “unacceptable,” “unfortunate”
It was an invaluable lesson learned, one because we still won the game, and two because that is an experience in humility that will never be forgotten.
The real question is how much that will affect him when he is put into the same scenario, as to just how he handles it. |

I think he'll be fine. He's young. I'm sure every kicker has missed a kick like that.

Re: Saints kicker calls regulation miss “unacceptable,” “unfortunate”
True, very young and probably really nervous. I was looking at the Falcon's kicker Ryan's stats. He's one of the best but also 40 yrs old and was really average to good most of his career. His stats improved later in his career. Main thing he did a lot right that game, including a sweet punt.

He can title the next one "unemployed."

I didn't think Hocker would win the job over Hopkins.

Re: Saints kicker calls regulation miss “unacceptable,” “unfortunate”
The most important thing a kicker can do, is make the last kick of the game.
Make the 4th Quarter kick. If you cant do that, especially a 30 yarder, I got no use for you. People talk sh&$ about Hartley, but he made the one that counted, didnt he? |

Re: Saints kicker calls regulation miss “unacceptable,” “unfortunate”
Like DAnno said. I think we might have another Hartley. Hartley 2.0 that is. Can make the long ones but cannot hit the broad side of a barn inside 30. Hope hes not another head case.
