But I forget, does he do kickoffs? If not, BB would have cut ties regardless....
Thought he was dumb to leave, but it was really smart. His leg strength was waning. Still accurate and, obviously, as clutch as they come.
I almost fell for it, but you really ought to have used a when you wrote that his "leg strength was waning."
In 10 years with the Pats he made 8 of 17 (47%) FGA's of 50+ yards and 70 of 99 (71%) from 40--49 yards.
In 8 1/2 or so years with the Colts, he's made 13 of 22 (59%) FG's of 50+ yards and 62 of 74 (84%) from 40-49 yards.
Overall, he made 82% of his Attempts with the Pats and 86% with Indy.
I hope my strength wanes like that someday.
How long was that kick again? in the '50's?AV is more than a fine choice to be the second kicker inducted into Canton.
I said it before...and this is absolutely no disrespect to Ghost... if Vinatieri was still here there is no way Belichick goes for it on 4th and 13 in the first Giants Super Bowl. I think AV makes that kick too. I mean they did lose by 3. Just sayin.

Dome inflation. Indy has actually had to have two placekickers at times on the roster due to Adam's inability to put KOs deep. Fans may not care, but there is no way Bill would have kept Vinatieri around through that, nor should they have. Moving on was clearly the right decision.
If he stayed he would have eventually missed a clutch one, and half the fan base would have hated him.Thought he was dumb to leave, but it was really smart. His leg strength was waning. Still accurate and, obviously, as clutch as they come.
And Giselle would have had to scream 'my husband can't throw and kick the ball!!'If he stayed he would have eventually missed a clutch one, and half the fan base would have hated him.
