Ooooh **** son! Good! Gramatica should make an excellent addition too. Why was he even a free agent?

I couldn't stand how nervous that guy would look everytime he had to kick a field goal. You would think he's never kicked in the NFL, let alone been the most accurate kicker...

Hopefully this move doesn't bite the Cowboys in the a$$. Martin hasn't really played in a while. But I do remember Martin in his prime, he was accurate hardly missed.

My exact thoughts...but I'm with 1crazyls1, Vanderjagt looked nervous everytime he was up at the plate. I wonder if handling kick-offs threw the guy off balance...

I wonder why they didnt go back after Billy Cundiff if they were thinking of making a change, he wasnt all that bad until his injury.

Only time will tell if this was a smart move or not...

He was out of the NFL all of 2005 and kicked a 20ydr for the Colts this year when Viniteiri was hurt. Tony Dungy did say that Gramatica kicked better than he had ever seen him kick before, who know?...in 2004, I think he was only 11 of 19

Is it just me, or does Gramatica look like the german guy from Ricky Bobby?

Yall do realize Vandershit is the most accurate kicker in the NFL, grantit((spellcheck)) he gets paid to make those kicks but the stats don't lie.

O well hopefully this will be a good move for us.

Yeah, but that's like saying Wayne Gretsky has scored more points than anyone in the NHL. Well, that's true, but he's not the same guy anymore. Same situation here. The guy flat-out sucks big-*** ***** right now.
