Giants add B. Gramatica to kicking competition  

 May 14, 2004

SportsLine.com wire reports    

 

 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants signed veteran free-agent placekicker Bill Gramatica on Friday, giving Matt Bryant a little more competition for training camp.

The left-footed Gramatica has made 75 percent of his field-goal attempts and all 60 of his extra-point tries during his career, which has been hindered by injuries.

He kicked in only four games for the Arizona Cardinals last year before being sidelined with a back injury.

He may be best known for injuring his knee during his rookie season in 2001. After kicking a 42-yard field goal against the Giants, he celebrated by jumping in the air but landed awkwardly and saw his season ended because of the injury.

Pat Tillman, the former Cardinals player who was killed in Afghanistan last month, handled kickoff duties for the Cardinals for the rest of that game.

Gramatica, who converted 34 of 45 field-goal attempts in three seasons with the Cardinals, did not receive a qualifying offer from them in the offseason and became a free agent.

Besides Bryant and Gramatica, the Giants will also have free agent Todd France in training camp.

Gramatica's brother, Martin, is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' kicker.

Probably pretty good.  Our kicking game has been HORRIBLE the last few years.

Bill is a sad NFL kicker.  Matt Bryant, when healthy is a very accurate kicker.  As a Giant fan, I would not want Bill as their kicker.

I wouldn't give up on Bill just yet ... he's still young and the injury slowed him up.

Go BULLS !!!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
