I would honestly bring in Gramattica for FG and cut Folk. He is 33 years old and fairly accurate within 45 yards. If they want any success in the Playoffs we can't keep giving Folk second chances. I feel Gramattica would be much more accurate than Buehler.

Jason Elam would be my choice...though I can't remember how he did in Atlanta.

I'd rather pray Folk comes back to life than take on another kicker who was sucking just like he was and either got cut or couldn't get signed because he sucks.

Elam was only 12/19 this year but was rock solid for his whole career otherwise. I don't know if he has been injured.

Grammatica was only 6/10 for NO last year. I don't know if he is in game shape.

Didn't Grammatica leave here in a huff in 2007, because he felt he wasn't given a chance to compete with Folk? What an odd full circle turn around that would be. :D

Gramattica is only 33?? I thought he was much older for some reason. Anyway, kickers are wierd....they may suck on one team then go to another team and light it up....or still suck. It's more of a mental thing with most of them. I always thought they had about a 3 year shelf life anyway.

The Saints used John Carney for part of this year when their kicker was out.

Dont forget Washington cut Shaun Suisham and he was 18/21 with a long of 48, and this kid is still young.

Nick folk is a pro bowl kicker.

missing one kick shouldn't cost his job

He looked alright from 45 yards in.

Are you serious? You must be trolling. How about missing 7 of the last 11.

He was a Pro Bowl kicker.

He has missed far more than one kick. He is getting worse and worse as the season progresses with the misses becoming shorter and shorter.

He sucked, thats why he was cut.

Carney is still on the Saints roster. He was struggling for a while and then they went back to Hartley. Saints just keep him inactive.

If we would be in that situation, I don't know if I could watch. :eek:

bring in Graham Gano for a tryout. The former Groza winner from Florida State was the best kicker in that UFL league.

oops Commanders already did this.
