So are you saying that Smyth should have been the Kicker? I would be fine with that, but the truth is that Grupe was okay last year, out kicked Smyth by a bit in camp, and Smyth only attempted one Kick in a preseason game. Last week was his chance to win the job but he had a tight groin. Hard to make a guy your kicker who has only tried one kick in an NFL game, which was a preseason game, only tried one kick in a stadium with people in it, and didn't kick in college.
But, I could see them singing a vet kicker if the right guy becomes available.
This isn't the final version of the 53 man roster and it's likely not going to be the 53 man roster on opening day. It's almost certainly not he same 53 man roster we will see on the Tuesday after the first game.
