AllSaints

Losing Brandon Browner made our defense better and the locker room alot better

He missed them in Pittsburgh, almost every kicker sucks kicking in Pittsburgh. If Scobee can turn back the clock, maybe they have finally found a kicker

For what one season? He's near retirement. I don't thnk he's as good as Viniaterri.

I decided to do some comparisons here............

Scobee(2013 week 17) 1/1 for 37

Forbath(2013 week 10) 2/2 for 20 and 40
@Pittsburgh
Scobee(2015 week 4) we already know
Forbath(2012 week 8) 2/2 for 48 and 45, missed XP
@Cleveland
Scobee(2013 week 13) 3/3 for 44, 36, and 25
Forbath(2012 week 14) 1/1 for 44

Last year Scobee was 3/7 at home yes. Scobee, however, has never kicked here. He was injured in 2007.

With that aside those atmospheres consists of places Scobee has kicked since 2010 that Forbath also has and it's a no-brainer, Forbath is better on the road. We're looking at just our home stats, well we shouldn't be grinding games out at home to begin with.

Btw Forbath in 2014 was 88.9 for Washington. How did he suddenly do bad for us? Could it be our special teams?

I'll save you a lot of time and math on the Scooby Doo debate ...

Draft a kicker.

What did Danno do? I don't see a post in the last page.

Danno

I think it was probably for my overall astute awareness of all things related to Saints football along with my generally charming personality and smashing good looks.

Or maybe it was one of my 2 posts earlier in this thread.

Nah, pretty sure it's the "underboob" in your avatar, .

PFF must have a real large staff because the other side of the building didn't get the lead story of this thread...

ProFootball Focus: 5 BARGAIN FREE-AGENT SIGNINGS THAT WILL MAKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT

1. Nick Fairley, DT, New Orleans Saints
Nick Fairley has had the luxury of playing beside two of the most dominant defensive tackles in the NFL since being drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft. His first four years in Detroit were alongside Ndamukong Suh, while his 2015 campaign was spent in St. Louis with Dwight Stephenson Award-winner Aaron Donald.

Consistently a productive player, it’s fair to wonder why Fairley struggles to land a multi-year contract in the prime of his career (he also signed a one-year deal in 2015).

As a Ram in 2015, Fairley recorded the 11th-highest overall grade among DT/NTs. Despite this, he found his market rather dry and settled for a one-year, $3 million contract in New Orleans.

The Saints ranked 31st in the league in run defense in 2015 (129.8 yards per game allowed), and last in yards per carry allowed (4.9). Fairley seems like an ideal fit in the middle of a defense that has been gashed time and time again in a division with three other teams who run the ball well.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Graded (initially) the worst by 3 media. We will see.

I bet the season will show otherwise.
