October 3, 2007 -- Not pleased with the performance of kicker Lawrence Tynes - who last weekend against the Eagles missed a 34-yard field-goal try and an extra point - the Giants yesterday worked out but didn't sign two kickers, Josh Huston and Billy Cundiff.
Huston this past summer lost a training-camp battle with Tynes, although in many respects he was the more consistent of the two. Cundiff, 27, spent four years kicking for the Cowboys, and in the second half of last season was the kickoff specialist for the Saints. Cundiff worked out for the Giants last spring before they traded with the Chiefs to acquire Tynes.
This season, Tynes has connected on seven of nine field goals. Both his misses are from 34 yards.
