yeah, they did, and so did Tampa Bay. He must be looking for a job. Something I need to do.

If they are looking to bring him in it'll be to kick off not punt.

Why do you say that? I think Cundiff did a good job and Weathorford (sp?) struggled on a few kicks.

I think we need a kick-offing punter... Not a kick-offing kicker. Because Carney is already money on FGs... whereas, if Weatherford is struggling on punts, we could always send in Sauerbrun.

Would we then have three kickers/punters on our roster?

 

[Saint James]

Possibly they bring him in and cut both Cundiff and Weatherford to free up another active roster spot?

Agreed. Tough to tie up three active spots each week with one guy who only punts, another who only kicks off, and a third who only kicks FGs and PATs.

By the way, anyone else recall when Sauerbrun got absolutely layed out against us in the Dome a few years back ? Forget who hit him, but IIRC, he broke his nose on the play...

all kinds of signs being sent to the kicking personnel eh? Glad to see the new Saints never stop looking to improve even mid-season.

That makes sense. Seems like a good move to me if he can get the job done.

 

[Saint Boudreaux]

Didn't he get busted for steroids?

 

[jackers]

I thought it was drinking and driving actually.

It was Ephedra.

Weatherford has really been slumping, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if they're looking at another punter.

What I like here, is that this team will do anything to improve in each area..
