Saints kicker Wil Lutz focused on fixing his trajectory problem

Saints coach Sean Payton's review of the film Friday morning showed a ball that rose a little more than he initially expected after watching Butler's block live from the sidelines.

"The kick is a little lower than you’d like, but coming off that field and talking to you guys last night, it felt like it was a real low get-off. And watching the tape from the end-zone copy, the protection has to be a little bit better," Payton said. "I don’t see it being as low on film today. It still needs to get up a little quicker."

Question, why can't we find a kicker. A kicker?????

Not his fault people can't block...
Now that he is focused on something aside from making the kick, expect some misses...

Coach him up ...

Bring in Carney to consult/assistant to special team... someone, anyone. There is potential from Lutz but his form needs improvement. A competent special teams coach would have diagnosed and corrected/taught him to do things better.

In the meantime I would hold a player on each side to prevent a run back
in the event of a blocked kick.

Pay Morten Anderson's flight down and wine and dine him in all the local hot spots. Spend the days c ashcoursing Lutz

And get on Payton's case for being so lacks

Hell we could be 7-3

Also tackling.

I agree it is a bit of an issue, needs to stop kicking it like it is a 50 yarder vs a 30.

Bigger issue is the right hand side of the OL allowing way to much push by the defense.

we need to do a lot of work on our OL depth

Right now it suxs and has suxed for years.

So he's saying he can't get it up?

That is why the "little blue pill" is football shaped!
