The only reason anyone would want to keep Folk is because the other players bailed him out and people feel good after the win and willing to let bygones be bygones. If Saints score on that last drive Folk isn't allowed on the plane home. We're lucky he didn't cost us our season tonight. We probably won't be as lucky in the next two weeks. It shouldnt take flushing your season down the toilet to do what needs to be done. The only thing worse than cutting Folk too early is cutting Folk too late. It would be one thing is Folk brought other assets to the table and was an exceptional kick off guy or something, but he doesn't even do that. He only has one job, and he sucks at that job.
Just because you've heard of Elam and Suisham doesn't mean they're the only guys available. I'm sure there is even a no name out there who can hit a chip shot field goal. Like I said, get one of the guys that kicked in the UFL. They've been in active competition, there shouldn't be any rust. If they were kicking well in that league that means their mechanics are down and they have the hot hand ... that's all that matters when it comes to kicking.
