re: Saints to release Zach Hocker (per La Canfora)

Maybe the issue is not with kickers but with the snap on the place kick?

Very well could be. I remember Payton discussing after one of Hocker's missed kicks that he believed it was more of a snap/hold issue for that certain kick.

Also, IIRC, during on the recent games (Eagles maybe?) one of the commentators quoted a recent kicker/coach/ST player (sorry can't remember who, drinking during the games will do that), that said the quoted kicker had issues kicking here because we consistently gave up too much pressure on the right side of the line.

89% make vs 79% make since 2012.

Forbath was only released because the saints apparently let the stud kicker Hopkins walk
