Training camp practice updates 8-25-23

Given the last couple years, how can you 100% say Lutz is still that guy?

Lutz was once as unproven as Grupe. Now, he's looking at stiff competition. I don't think that is an accident which really means the coaches see a way to improve.

We'll know their decision soon and can second guess it for years after that.
Yeah, Lutz was unproven at one time. But when we signed Lutz it was because we let a real good kicker in Dustin Hopkins go for a rookie kicker, I think his last name was Hocker, that looked good in the preseason and then couldn't hit the broad side of a barn during the season and then the kicker carousel started. Lutz was a need back then. Grupe is not a need today. Let's not make that same mistake again of letting a really good kicker be released or be traded away again.
