faba Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 GIANTS AUDITION PAIR OF KICKERS By PAUL SCHWARTZ October 3, 2007 -- Not pleased with the performance of kicker Lawrence Tynes - who last weekend against the Eagles missed a 34-yard field-goal try and an extra point - the Giants yesterday worked out but didn't sign two kickers, Josh Huston and Billy Cundiff. Huston this past summer lost a training-camp battle with Tynes, although in many respects he was the more consistent of the two. Cundiff, 27, spent four years kicking for the Cowboys, and in the second half of last season was the kickoff specialist for the Saints. Cundiff worked out for the Giants last spring before they traded with the Chiefs to acquire Tynes. This season, Tynes has connected on seven of nine field goals. Both his misses are from 34 yards. * The Giants added another defensive end, signing Dave Tollefson off the Raider practice squad. To make room on the roster, fullback Robert Douglas was placed on injured reserve. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound Tollefson has no NFL experience. He was a 2006 seventh-round draft pick of the Packers. He had 21 sacks at Northwest Missouri State. One of the defensive ends already on the roster, Osi Umenyiora, was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award after his team-record six-sack performance in the 16-3 victory over the Eagles. ... OL Matt Lentz was added to the practice squad for the second time this season, replacing LB Rory Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be great if our defense could stop anyone from scoreing TD`s and hold them to fg attempts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
