What's Wrong With Lutz

If he is hurt to the extent it's effecting his kicks you sign another kicker. He clearly lacks confidence right now

You might sign another kicker. I am in the playoffs, have 4 M in cap space and last week all my RBs were gone due to COVID, I am saving that cap space in case a position I actually need gets blanked by COVID. phuck a kicker

While I'd normally agree with you in signing one to the practice squad in leaving nothing to chance, I'd be worried at this stage with f'ing with the team chemistry, psyche as his teammates are still behind him...

We've got at least a couple of kickers on speed dial if needed. Don't forget we had Chandler Catanzaro and Blair Walsh in for tryouts last week. Lutz' recent struggles aside, we are always just a COVID close contact away from having no kicker at all. It wouldn't surprise me if the Saints were daily testing them both so they can immediately clear the protocols. You can't add a player to the roster without two negative tests.

Edit: I just read that we also brought Walsh back in on Saturday for another visit.

You would be agreeing with the other fellow. I wouldn't sign a kicker now for the reasons I stated as well as yours. Id rather see Peat with a square toe shoe like we used in high school kicking straight on.
