Pats cut Gramatica; rookie to replace Vinatieri

The comeback attempt of kicker Martin Gramatica ended Wednesday when the New England Patriots released the six-year veteran, awarding the job as the successor to departed placement specialist Adam Vinatieri to rookie Stephen Gostkowski.


Gramatica


A fourth-round draft choice, and the 118th player selected overall in the 2006 draft, Gostkowski converted all four of his field goal attempts in the Patriots' first two preseason games, from 33, 24, 37 and 37 yards. The former University of Memphis star also did a nice job in handling the kick chores.

the rookie may look good, but i still wish the pats still had Vinatieri

Smart choice....we don't need Marty running around blowing his knees out while celebrating a 25 yard kickoff likie his brother did...

As for Gratkowski, I can remember when Bill Parcells took a chance on a rookie kicker with the name I couldn't pronouce...

What was his name again?? Vinateieri??? Vinatari??? Vinatieri?
