What is your opinion on then kicking situation with Shayne Graham? There is some speculation the saints may sign matt prater. It wouldn't be the first time the saints signed a former Broncos kicker (Garrett Hartley). Just curious to get other fan's view on Graham.

I'm all for it. Graham shanked a 41 yarder indoors last week. That's rough.

Yeah, Graham just seems uneasy, I'm on the edge of my seat every time he attempts a field goal.

He's my fantasy kicker and I want to cut him from my team

That's probably a good move. I'm in between kickers right now, I really need to find a kicker with a consistent offense behind him to give him more field goal opportunities. Fantasy kickers haven't worked out for me.

Graham sucks.

Also he's a ginger.

Gross.

I've been saying we should go after Prater all day. He's absolutely an upgrade over Graham, even though he's suspended for one more game. And we have a roster spot open since we just out Byrd on IR.

Dude fricked up an EXTRA POINT.

He should have been gone 2 weeks ago.

so let me get this straight... you'd use Byrd's spot on the roster, not Graham's??? you're keeping two kickers, when you just lost a safety?

what. the. frick. son.

We have plenty of safety depth and we don't have to cut anyone to add him. Prater is suspended for one more week so we'd still need Graham for this next game. We sign Prater now, then cut Graham next week when Prater is back and use his spot on someone else.

Im guessing to claim him you need a spot and we still need a kicker for sunday while he serves his last game of suspension

But if Prater is signed and needs to sit out one more game, what motivation does Shayne Graham have to do well for one game.

Although I agree it would be a bad situation. ..... he would not jeopardize a future job like that

Also agree that it wouldn't be a great situation, but Prater is only 30, so he still has several good years left and I'd be fine with pissing off Graham for one game while locking up a good kicker for the next several years. Although knowing our luck with kickers, he'll probably trip coming off the plane and get a career-ending concussion or something.

wasn't that partially blocked? if so, it's excusable in that it would be the line's fault

but yeah... bye week coming... may be time to make the man w/ the NFL's record for longest field goal a Saint... yes I'm talking about Matt Prater

A blocked extra point is the kickers fault. He should be able to get the kick off in a timely manner, and make it high enough so thst the defense doesnt even come close to blocking it.
