I remember seeing a sight I had never thought possible in Martin Grammatica wearing a Saints uniform last season at the end. Why? Because after Dallas cut him and he seemingly fell off the map, I never thought I would see him doing his antics and post kick celebrations and his passion for the game. Not downing Olindo Mare at all because he is a good kicker, but Grammatica is special IMO. He is the proverbial underdog who over came a lot to make it to the NFL and succeed with a SB winning team.
but that isn't all to me.
I think after all these years he is trying to prove himself again in the NFL, to himself and to the NFL teams that think he is over the hill or overrated to begin with.
I think he would perfect as a Saint and I want him to stay here and I think somewhere in SP's mind he knows Martin is a much better kicker ands more suited to this team. Sure he does not have the TB ability Mare has but man he make up for it in other ways. He is a clutch kicker who still has the leg power we need and he did a damn good job for us those last three games. He looked like the guy we expected Mare to be.
If the Saints know what their doing, they will keep Grammatica. something tells me that if we do, we will have a huge upside and benefit from it like John Carney did in his career after leaving San Diego and in coming here.
bottom line we cannot let this guy get away. He brings more to the table which means he is much better player for this team then what we had before
