Did we have Cairo Santos at one point and cut him to stay with Hartley?

With a team like this, a kicker is the only major scoring threat. So, yeah.

Roll with what we've got at kicker until this season is over and then reevaluate the position along with hundreds of other positions.lol

Remember what KMajor told me last year on one of the threads about kicking below sea level. Also, these kickers expect us to score at home. The FGs have been missed at home, not on the road.

How exactly does this "below sea level" process work?

Been saying it for a couple years now but some of you guys don't understand that the kicking is a 3 part process. Snap, hold and kick. I've seen too many bad or mis-handled snaps to keep blaming our kickers we sign. I look for a new
LS in camp next year if not one trying out every week the rest of this year.

^That might be it, but I still believe the kickers mindsets are not on kicking FGs when we are threatening to score as the redzone FGs have been the misses.

Will, what the heck are you talking about?! Kicking below Sea level? I never stated that. I hate the kicking position & wish all NFL teams were required to go for two after ever score.
