[Anybodyhome]

Morten Andersen sighting anyone?

If indeed the Saints have signed Shayne Graham they have signed a good kicker.

@MikeGarafolo: Saints will sign veteran K Shayne Graham to replace Garrett Hartley, who was cut today.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

If John Kasay kicks a GW FG for the Saints I will vomit into a mason jar and dump it on a Saints fan.

That, is funny.

Trying to light a fire under his players for Sunday's game. It won't work. We are too hungry.

Either they think points will be at a premium moving forward, or they think theyll avoid critical kicks long enough for the new guy to get settled in.

[0115]

looks like they're drafting a kicker.

Weren't we interested in Carr a couple seasons ago?

[rayzor]

sounds like they are up against the ropes.

 

i hope we take advantage of it.

Yeah,I just now saw where the Saints signed Graham. He's 36 year old so maybe he's lost some of his distance, which could allow Ginn to break some long ones.

 

He has certainly bounced around the league over the years,even played shortly for the Panthers in 2002. Seems Graham last signed with the Pittsburg Steelers on September 9, 2013. and was released on September 17, 2013. Not to long of a stay.

Hartley was terrible. In addition to the two missed FG attempts it looked like he had a PAT attempt partially blocked... it managed to go in, but it doesn't help his case at all. I doubt bringing in a new kicker will help them much if the weather is rainy like it is projected to be.

Here's to them signing Mare on short notice!

Oh man, Mare. The same season Mcclain and Fua were our starters on the D line. Rivera deserved COY that year for getting us 6 wins with Mare, Fua and Mcclain all starters.

To this day I think Mare is solely responsible for us not having atleast 8 wins in Rivera's first year.

John Kasay available?

Bite your tongue! :(

John Kasay available?

Looking at all these teams that are having trouble with their kickers makes me think Gano was probably one of the best FA signings the Panthers have had.
