the are better for sending him packing. As I recall, their last kicker was a rookie once too...and unheralded.

Gramatica- 60% over last two years he played... Didn't play last year... It's bad news for anyone playing the Pats that they didn't keep him...

The Colts "upgraded" their kicking situation by replacing a kicker with a 92% on field goal attempts to one with 66%.

Maybe the colts will grab Gramatica..I heard they are in need of a kicker theirs is injuried.

The Colts would take anyone from Brady to Heath Evans just to say "HA!" to the Pats :rolleyes2

and the pats replaced a guy with a better than 81% success rate with a rookie.

I can hear the choking already.

I'll take your word on that because you have got to be an expert by now. Nobody is more aware of what choking sounds like than a Dolphins fan and why not he's heard it every december for many many years. :wink:

Did you hear, the jinx was broken last year... for the 1st time in many, many years... :nofly:

could be a sign of things to come...:wink:

on to the thread... I fiugured Bill was not dumb, I could not see the Pats keeping Gramatica as the starting kicker...

too bad...

So this rookie may seem to be good, but can he make a game winning clutch field goal like Adam could? Thats alot of pressure to put on a rookie and especially on a rookie kicker. Is he always calm like AV? Does he think of David Hasselhoff to calm himself at the free throw line?
