Giants kicking tires on kickers

BasX · Dec 1, 2009

The New York Giants have been kicking around the idea of getting a new kicker.

And, on Tuesday, they'll kick the tires of a couple more. Kickers.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Steve Hauschka and Graham Gano will come to town for a tryout. Hauschka beat out Gano for the kicking gig in Baltimore. Gano went on to kick the championship-winning field goal for the UFL's Las Vegas Locomotives; Hauschka got cut after missing several key kicks.

Matt Bryant, who kicked for the UFL's Florida Tuskers, took a physical with the Cardinals over the weekend, but he was not signed. Bryant and Gano are both scheduled to try out for the Falcons, who have been considering giving Jason Elam the boot.

The maneuverings are evidence of how fungible -- and cruelly accountable -- the kicking position is. The men who hold these positions have one job . . . to make kicks. When they don't, they're done.
