This is a smoke screen. They will sign UDFA Ben Jones.

We just signed Gramatica, what's he wasting his time for ?

I kind of like Hughes myself but I've never seen any of them kick,

They're all "egh" guys.

Hughes wont be able to do kickoffs in the pros not a strong leg at all and his mechanics are known to be horrible.

I like Huston more because of his outdoor and bad weather experience. Took over for Mike Nugent at THE Ohio state university. For his career he hasn't been that great hitting 25 of 38. But has the power to hit 50+ yard FG's

Yeah, it's not a good year for kickers. Maybe Gramatica's surgery will put him back to 2002 Gostkkowski may be the better choice, he has a pretty good leg and solid accuracy numbers in college. None of them are exciting though.

The good thing about Huston is he was 22 of 28 last year, his 3 of 10 as a freshman drags his career numbers down - plus he knows what it's like to replace a top kicker

Actually, John Tomase, of the Boston Herald, reported this first.

Most of these kids have the "power" to hit 50+, it's the accuracy at that distance that eludes them. Huston's college long was 47. He was only 3-6 from 40+ and 0-2 at 50+. And realistically regardless of where they kick few college kickers have much real cold weather experience since the regular season is over in early December and their bowl games are played in warm weather venues.

Huston also has only one season as a rare 6th year senior starter on his resume. And he missed 2 full seasons due to knee and hip injuries.
