No, it was on a punt I think.

Kicked outside in Washington for 3 full years. 87% on that. Rarely attempted outside of 50 yards. Basically, we gotta get inside the 30 before we press the button.

Welcome aboard, but he's about to be exposed to some shady/spotty snaps & holds so he'd best be prepared for that kind of special teams clown-ery.

I thought it would take another game of jackknifing inside the 40 but I guess it's time...I think it goes beyond holding issues. I assume his practices were also not that great.

Not surprised at the move. Hocker is not good -- and Payton knows the wages of being optimistic with non-performing kickers.

Give Morten Andersen a call! Lol!

Geaux Saints!

I wasn't kidding when I said they should hire Morten to scout, find us a kicker and then coach 'em up...

Who'd know better than the Greatest Placekicker of All-Time!

Usually great players aren't very good teachers or coaches.

Better sooner than later

Poor decision coming out of camp apparently.

If he makes field goals instead of missing them, then he will be an improvement. It just means our offense has to do better at providing better field position for him.
