If it's true that an NFL placekicker is only as good as his last made field goal, Olindo Mare should be magnificent right now. It's no surprise Mare isn't exactly getting a kick out of having to compete. He's months removed from going 24 for 30 on field goals — many made in wind, rain and snow for a team that went 4-12 with a sputtering offense. "You would think after the year that I had that it would be a, you know, little easier decision," Mare said after practice Friday. "I feel like I was as good as anybody in the league last year, touchbacks, field goals — we didn't do a bunch of short ones, either." Source: Associated Press
