So you’re telling me the Saints are top 5 in something!?!? *high fives people*
probably because he’s a leader and looked like a stud in pre-season?
Reporters say he had a great camp and never missed all summer
we should cut him
I mean, this sounds bad, but his rate isn’t bad. He’s just taken a lot of kicks.
League average last year was 84%, for 2023 and 2024 he averaged 83.8.
Im actually concerned it’s a mix of things. The only thing that’s changed this year to last is the holder,but thats an important step in the process. Hayball was a lefty right?
Still better than the former failcon kicker
I think for what we should expect this year he’s fine. But if the trend continues downward yeah let’s cut our losses
This is a raw stat which probably could use some contextualizing. Like how many kicks is Grupe taking relative to the average kicker? Make/miss % is more valuable because it takes attempts into the calculation unlike a bare running total of kicks made or missed.
I said that the other day. Grupe who is the special teams captain shouldn’t be missing field goals or the stuoid landing zone
Atleast hes not Gay
It doesn’t help that a good portion of this fanbase will turn on anyone the second they have a rough game
Saints don’t get past the opponent’s 30 often so this tracks. We kick a lot.
He’s still on the team???
Worth noting that 4/5 of those kickers have been cut by the team they were on in 2023. May be 5/5 soon if Grupe doesn’t get his head on straight.
