Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
I think, barring injury and/or a major drop-off, Gostkowski wins the job.
BTW this guy has a long leg for kick-offs which I believe BB thought was not a strength of Adam's game and gave away too much field position. |
Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
I'm sure the team is very hopeful of him winning the job as well. He's young and they invested a 4th round pick on him. Plus, Gramatica has had an up and down career, be it because of injury or inconsistency.

Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
When asked who would kick next preseason game I think Bill was uncommitted.
My guess is that if the Ghost gets to kicks again ... he's got the job. If one has to be cut I just can't see the younger guy being let lose. He won't make the PS ... someone will snatch him. If both kickers are about the same how do you not go with the one with the greater upside .... the one with many years ahead? |
Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
Gostkowski is clearly the frontrunner now IMO.

Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
gramatica is a wash.. Ghost is the man in new england.. young, strong leg.. may not have the best year, but he's a rookie.. he'll be solid eventually.
cmon the guy did a 1 planted 40 yarder in the ESPN Rookie Challenge. |
Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
I'd like to see the Pats in a pressure situation where a kicker has to make a 45 yarder. I don't think any kick has been made that has been longer than 40 yards. The Pats haven't been in that situation yet, though Gramatica came through in the Atlanta game (it wasn't a long kick), even though we lost.

Maybe they will keep both just for insurance....

Re: Did Gostkowski solidify the Kicking spot
If we weren't keeping both then I'd have to say that Gost has matched grammatica step for step from what I've read, heard, and watched. The tie breaker could be age and cost. From that vantage point, it's gostkowski.

He's Gosto make it.
