What about Tom?

Posted by David Winkler-Schmit on Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 10:37 PM

The Saints have just placed Gramatica on injured reserve and re-signed kicker Taylor Mehlhaff, a sixth round draft choice from Wisconsin who has yet to kick in a regular NFL season game.  What are we doing? Mickey Loomis needs to get on the horn and call in Tom Dempsey, still the NFL record holder for the longest field goal. Sure, Dempsey might miss a 29-yard chip shot, but a 46-yard kick is something he could have made with his left foot.

After Gramatica's kick was blocked on Monday night, I started an argument with the fans in my section by insisting that the ball came up off the ground too low because Gramitica is too short to kick over the defense. Very few people took my side in this for some reason.
