Who will it be? There is no way Grupe stays on the team after failing time and time again

Maybe you just ride it out. If you look at the 3rd best kicker in the league (Sum Yung Gai of the Falcons) he was so yippy in San Diego that they cut him. Now he has a reputation for being a cold-blooded assassin, especially from 50+ to win games.

Grupe has the physical tools and he has made some good kicks. His miss yesterday was "better" than his previous misses. It was on line, it was confident, and it just seemed like it was a little bit of bad luck on the action and the way it didn't fade as he expected it to.

I was the biggest Lutz fanboy on here but there's probably nobody better than Grupe out there at the moment.

Punter is probably a different story, although I'm happy Heds had his best day as a Saint yesterday.

Wanna bet.

Grupe is cheap and will develop into a solid kicker. If not he's still cheap.

No, he stays. Kickers just don’t make 100% of their kicks so get over it.

I guess you haven’t paid attention to Dennis Allen very much.

He either doesn’t find it an issue or he doesn’t have the balls to make a move or both. He’s a pussy.

Bro. Allen accepted a penalty that would have resulted in a FG attempt and turned into.a TD.

Whatever happened to Cade York? I wasn't following him but I know he hit some kicks to win early last season for the Browns. I assume he started missing and they cut him?

DA has already said grupe is our kicker this year

thats it as far as he is concerned about the kicking game.

it would take grupe missing 7-8 kicks straight before DA would admit to making a mistake

he is super young and nobody is perfect, so im willing to see if he fixes things before the end of this year. they say kicking is 100% all in your head so maybe he can get it together?

Grupe is at 78% this year. I seem to remember Lutz struggling majorly in his rookie year and then with coaching and experience becoming a very good kicker up until his injury.

He's had 1 shank this year. I tend to think he will be fine.

If you can’t do your job… bye. It should just be a revolving door for kickers. Not as much loyalty for them.
