No one will quite compare with New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz. But Baltimore Ravens’ Jake Verity is still available, and he should be quickly claimed as a temporary fix to the Saints’ current kicker problem.
We know they have Aldrick Rosas. We also know he missed a 52-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 36-yarder in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
The Saints would go on to easily win the game, but at the time, New Orleans was only up 7-0, and Rosas’ missed kick could have potentially changed the momentum.
The 52-yarder, we can excuse. Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick called a timeout with seconds left in the first quarter to force New Orleans to kick into the open, windier end of the stadium. Rosas’ kick swerved left and missed the goalposts, and it’s tough to say whether that was a stroke of Belichick ingenuity or just Rosas’ poor technique.
