Colts foil Patriots plan to add McLaughl

With just three days to go until their showdown with the , the are still trying to fill one pretty important position on Theoren Fleury Jersey their roster. As of Thursday morning, the Patriots have exactly zero kickers, which could definitely make things interesting in Foxborough over the next 72 hours.When the week started, the Patriots had a kicker in , but after just one game. Forbath became expendable after he hit just 1 of 2 extra points during New England's 28-22 lo s to the on Sunday.After watching four different kickers struggle this year, Patriots coach Bill Belichick could end up making the highly unorthodox decision to go without one this week, but that seems unlikely. Based on Belichick's comments from this week, it seems the Patriots to add a kicker, but they just don't know who to Dalton Prout Men Jersey go after. In a rare moment for Belichick, he basically admitted that he has no idea what the Patriots are going to do at the position, which was an odd thing to hear from the future Hall of Fame coach, because he usually has an answer for everything."Well, we have a few days to work that out," Belichick said when asked about the kicking position on Tuesday, via quotes from the team. "So, we'll look at our options and try to do what we feel like is best for the team based on what our options are. So, I don't know exactly how that's going to go, but we'll see."Before signing Forbath last week, the Patriots had been using , who Elias Lindholm Men Jersey hit just 77.8% of his field goals over the course of three games. However, Folk underwent an appendectomy in the lead up to Week 13, which to make way for Forbath. With Folk presumably healthy, the general belief was that he would return to New England, but the Patriots clearly had other ideas this week. To fill the empty kicker spot, the Patriots tried to add , but the foiled their plans. The Patriots after he was placed on waivers following his release from the on Wednesday, but they didn't get him because the Colts also claimed him and had the higher waiver priority.What that claim tells you is that Belichick isn't too thrilled about the prospect of bring back Folk, even though that may end up being his only choice.If the Patriots had landed Cam Talbot Kids Jersey McLaughlin, he would have been Miikka Kiprusoff Jersey their fifth kicker of the year. After was , the team handed the kicking job over to , who was dumped after hitting just 62.5% of his field goals over four games. Forbath and Folk then followed Nugent. If the Patriots are hesitant to re-sign Folk, the best free agent kicker available right now is probably . Although Parkey comes with some baggage that includes the double-doink, he's already proven that he's put that behind him. The former kicker hit 3 of 3 field goals with the during a three-game stint with Tenne see earlier this season.
