Who do you replace him with? Gay can't kick FG's to save his life if the preseason is any indication. The Steelers cut their kicker and signed someone that's never played a down in the NFL.

 

By this standard, we should have cut Hughes long ago given how many 15 yard penalties he's committed that have cost us points.

Who are we going to sign, Scobee?

Seriously. Who do you think among the current unsigned crop is "money?"

Usually I get very reactionary after losses, and I agree there is a good chance that Rex may cut him. This time I don't want to rush to judgements due to a loss though. He was already in Rex's doghouse during the preseason. However, as previous posters have mentioned who do sign then? It was a bad miss, and he's already missed a pat this year. I do hate to wait until we lose a game due to special teams, but he is certainly not the sole reason we lost today. I don't think it was the kind of horrible day that causes kickers to lose their job. At least it shouldn't be.

You're right. You either let your guy, who has been solid, to shake off the funk, or you cut him and roll the dice with another kicker who was probably just cut himself for missing kicks. We got lucky with Carpenter when the Dolphins let him go. Do we want to test our luck again? A lot of teams are desperate for kicking.

me thinks the Bucs may cut a kicker very soon. That Aside, this carrying a kick off specialist. and a kicker who sucked in pre season and since, needs some FO attention. I really would hate to see a 40+ yarder needed with a game on the line and Carpenter the kicker. The dude does not inspire confidence. His mojo is gone.

In this case he likely cost us a win...that miss caused a chain of events that saw us go for it on 4th and goal instead of kicking another FG to cut it to a one possession game. Game would have been tied at 16 instead of us being down 16-10.
