Re: Bottom of the Barrel: Saints Off Season Moves Grade Poorly
I'd give it a C-minus at this point in time. That's based mainly on what they failed to do instead of what they actually did. Getting Fleener (overpay), Fairley (1-year stop gap), and Lauranaitis could end up as good moves. But not addressing this team's most serious holes (DE, DT, Safety, OG) is a head scratcher. Loomis has crippled this franchise with a series of terrible FA signings, unwise extensions, and poor results in the draft. Leading the league in dead money is not a good thing. Let's hope we do better in the 2016 draft.

And as Guido stated...

Re: Bottom of the Barrel: Saints Off Season Moves Grade Poorly
Forbath only made 69.2% of his field goals last year, it shouldn't be too hard for Scobee to compete

Scobee isn't any better as he missed fgs himself. I can't envision Scobee having a turnaround just because he could be on a winning team. That's like throwing darts at a dartboard. When a kicker starts falling, that's it.

Re: Bottom of the Barrel: Saints Off Season Moves Grade Poorly
I'm still guessing he kicks better than 69% in the Dome,

Re: Bottom of the Barrel: Saints Off Season Moves Grade Poorly
So what about the road? If we win the division next year we are likely going to Seattle in the divisional round or Green Bay in the NFCCG. What if he can't kick a fg there?
And guess why he got cut by Pittsburgh? Will he do this against the panthers and falcons? Steelers cut Josh Scobee | ProFootballTalk He missed two FGs and one in OT against the steelers' biggest division rival in primetime after the team was knocked out of the playoffs by them the last meeting. |
