Saints re sign John Carney....

[Beretta.sixpack]

keeping Hartley for now as well

screwup away from unemployment, there are few jobs with more pressure.

Carney is 46 years old. They retained him as a "consultant" for this very reason. Well, that and the man was money damn near every kick for the Saints.

Signing a 46 year old already in the organizationisn't near as threatening as going after, say Shayne Graham.

Even I would have become a Saints fan if I could see him kick in the SuperDome.</p>

 

[coach66]

I mean I now the Sixpack is a pressure cooker but?

 

[patdog]

But it'd be a disaster I wouldn't miss seeing for the world.

measure the goalpost, the field, etc. It's the same. Doesn't matter. I flourish under pressure.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

 

[coach66]

characterize him more along the lines of a Tom Dempsey who achieved most of his success through his BMI or is he more of a finess guy like Garo Yepremian, who was also a fine passer.

 

[patdog]

I think he said he kicks soccer style though, so he's probably no Tom Dempsey (we know he's got a 1 hand and a 1/2 of a foot advantage over him). My guess is he's just a regular kicker. As he has said, he does have quick feet for a big man.</p>

I think we need a SPS kicking contest. I know I can hit one form 40 yards. It would be entertaining for sure.
