    Problems on the field? What? He misses one field goal ever with the team, and suddenly he's having problems on the field?

    In regards to the suspension... probably drug related, I would guess.

    Yeah, I wonder what he did. I was thinking banned substance as well.

    He claims he didn't know it was on the list. Not a very good excuse when you're a pro athlete (if you can call a kicker that :hihi:), but that's his story.

    Oh well, get ready to play the first 4 weeks without Grant, Smith, AND Hartley.

    Well, Hartley is suspended, so it's a no-brainer. I don't know where you're third kicker is coming from though. He won't stick around, though. I suspect that we'll keep Hartley on to do kickoffs, since he's got a stronger leg than Carney. But I don't see this team making the same mistake twice by releasing Carney, ESPECIALLY considering he had a Pro Bowl year last year kicking in an outdoor stadium.
