mare is not the only one to miss an important field goal either! WIDE RIGHT!Originally posted by CirclingWagons
Dolphins aren't the only team who's had to play with a dirt infield...that excuse is a cop-out.
DF1, I agree with you that we should give Mare another year to improve his performance. We know that the FO has given numerous chances to others that don't deserve it.
As to your question on Mares' time with Matt Turk, they are:
Mare and Turk were together in 00-01. Being in New York, for 2002, Turk returned again early in the season, playing in the Giants game, the NE game was a few games later.
In 00'-01' with Turk he was 47 of 52 (.90%).
In 02'-03' without Turk he was 26 of 33 (.78 %).
In 03' with Turk he was 20 of 27 (.74%).
Hope this help....

Mare SUCKS!
He needs to go. When a kicker starts missing extra points, it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that he has lost his touch.
He has not been as reliable as you would like this past year.

Here is the problem.........With what kickers are making......If Keading gets an agent that has half a brain......Keading would only except a two year contract....thus when he becomes available...he will be making the same money that Mare is making......so you save money for two years.....Is it worth it?

Well if i recall it all depends on where hes drafted!!...But more then likely it's what he'll do!!!....I am not sure its the best thing to do because we have to remember 1 thing....Out snappers have sucked all year too!!!
Hey guys and gals I think Mare is still a decent kicker, just not worth what he has been making for the last 2 years due to his performance.
He has been in the league 7 years now, he is no rookie, sure they let his coach go, due to cirumstances beyond his control. They brought in a different snapper this year due to Perry's injury, but Perry was snapping last year, and with a new holder (Royals), he was inconsistant. This year they brought Turk (holder) back and with 2 different snappers he still was inconsistant.
I am saying for that performance, if he maintains it again this year, either cut his payroll or get another rookie kicker, in next years' draft (2005), because it will be 3 years that his production has deminished.

Re: Re: Some of the 2004 Draft Top Kickers
I have not been able to get any information on Nate Keading’s touchbacks stats. I don’t believe schools use them, but here is some feedback on this kid’s ability. I believe if he drops to lower rounds or FA, he will be inexpensive and worth a try, to improve our ST. At least the Fins should keep him in the Practice Squad.
He set an Iowa record for most consecutive FG between 01 and 02 with 31 attempts. Also set school record (2002) for PAT (57) and PAT attempts (58).

2002 Honors- Winner of Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award; first team All-American by Football Writers Assoc, by Sporting News, and by CNNSI.com; second team All-American by AP.
from article written by Marc Morehouse (Gazette sportswriter), December 30, 2001.
“Kaeding didn't have any problems Saturday.
The sophomore kicker from Iowa City booted a 47-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to lift the Hawkeyes to a 19-16 Alamo Bowl victory over Texas Tech before 65,232 fans.
Kaeding's four field goals (36, 31, 46 and 47) helped the Hawkeyes (7-5) to their first bowl victory since blanking Tech, 27-0, in the '96 Alamo Bowl."
This shows me that he can play under pressure, making those game winning FG :)
What have we got to loose? At least let Mare know that he needs to improve his inconsistancy, well as he should know by now that not even DW's job is secured.

Hmm...I never really thought about the whole Mare situation in terms of releasing him. I just figured Miami should cut his pay, but after looking at some of the facts in this thread, I have to say..maybe the Dolphins should drop him.
This young kicker Nate Kaeding does sound pretty good.

That's the misconseption we have had for the last few years. The defense has not scored enough points for them to win games...
That being said that the media, sports analysts, fan base and the likes use this talented team as a synonym for this talented defense. The talented is lobsided, but people still call it a talented team.
