Drafting or signing a kicker? (1 Viewer)

[geauxtigers72]

I think we should draft or sign an ufa kicker... Martin Gramatica and Olindo Marie cant get it dont...

 

[LSSpam]

I like them both and feel very confident going into camp with just those two.

 

[BoNcHiE]

Why exactly can't they get it done?

what happened to the rookie kicker we had in training camp this year, i think it was Conner or something. He had a good leg if i remember correctly.

Well As much as I don't like Mare, he was hurt for a good portion of the season

Connor Hughes is who you're thinking of, but I don't think he was in camp last year (at least not in any lengthy serious capacity). Two years ago he made a nice impression though.

Isn't the kicker for the Titians a UFA this year? Rob Baronis (sp?)

Edit:

The Titans have not approached K Rob Bironas yet about a potential contract extension.

Bironas, who's coming off easily the best season of his career, can be a restricted free agent in March. The Titans may decide to tender him at the second-round level rather than lock him up with a lot of guaranteed money.

IIRC he's a RFA. I would be in favor of drafting a kicker (I like Carmody out of Louisville personally) to bolster the position long term. Yea, Mare or Gramatica could probably get us through the season, but I think we should be looking for a guy who can kick for us for years.

The last 2 years I've called for drafting Stephen Gostkowski and Mason Crosby. I'd be in favour of looking at Brandon Coutu

i don't know when the georgia kicker gets drafted but someone will value him higher than we do... also, i was impressed with colt david this year, he seems to have potential and will probably be an ufa (he is a senior, right?)

Colt David hasn't made a kick over 40 yards I think.

:dunno: ????? :dunno: ????? :dunno: ?????

Uhhh... here are their stats from 2007:

A/M = Attemted/Made

Player 1-19 A/M 20-29 A/M 30-39 A/M 40-49 A/M 50+ A/M
Olindo Mare 0/0 5/4 4/3 3/2 5/1
Martin Gramatica 0/0 0/0 2/2 2/2 1/1

 

[SaintsFan83]

Keep Gramatica or get Bironas. Both are proven. No rookies, no Mare.

Colt David hasn't made a kick over 40 yards I think.

He made a 55 yarder,and I think it was a 45 yarder he hit 2 times in a row to win the game after the opposing coach called time out.He also had 2 49 yarders.
