“… after serving his four game suspension for using performance enhancing substances.”

No more performance enhancing than coffee, right?

I would want both active – in case a long FG is needed. However, only if this didn’t jeopardize or create a depth problem at an every down position.

If they’re counting against the roster, what’s the difference in active/inactive?

What’s the benefit of making one inactive?

Like a pro-bowler. For now you can keep them both, you can always cut one or the other at a later date.

the fantasy ticker on the sidebar claims that Carney is keeping his job, at least through the Giants game. I wonder if they both will be active, who drops off the actives list? Also, if Dinkins returns as the blocking TE, do they drop Leckey again? I can’t see Strief or Nesbit being inactive, nor Wendys. I would like to see if Dinkins will be worth the roster space, though. He’s stuck to the roster despite being unusable for pretty much the whole time.

I’m digging how the ghost of Sam Mills decided to subliminally show up in that photo of Hartley and Carney.

It looked like the D has been channelling the Dome Patrol during the last 2 games….

I doubt Payton would worry about whether he can activate Leigh Torrence, for instance, instead of Hartley. The problem is the 53 man roster. Who do they cut? Leckey? They brought him back for some depth on the line, which is still needed. Casillas, and hope to get him back on the practice squad? Chase Daniel, again back to the practice squad? Tough choices.

I know they want to keep Hartley for the future, but Carney has proven he can kick the long ones even this late in his career. I’d like to keep them both, but I can’t see who would get cut to make room.

no brainer, he keeps putting them in the end zone, none out-of-bounds he was big time v.s. the Jets, no chance for Leon W. Plus been good on punts too. I remember The Great Dane doing it consistently early in his career here. Carney’s been solid, inside 35yds, but i cross my fingers everytime, still haunted by ‘River City Relay" PAT ARRgghH,
kinda dont trust him. Carney would have no problem being picked up by another team. Hartley unproven, PAT fine, 30-35yd fine, but I don’t want his 1st 50 yarder to be a miss in a big game. Hopefully our Off. can keep the FG’s inside 35. Ques?: We drafted Morstead, is H artley a FA or Draft?

he was a free agent. Pretty positive we didn’t draft him because he didn’t come in until late last season.

What none of you have said or realized is the fact that t morstead kicked field goals as a backup in college, quite well too! Don’t believe me? Check his profile. He does much better than cheesey hartley on kickoffs and we can keep him around for the ocassional long field goal. It’s def worth the risk and this way we avoid the carney curse! Wait and see, I might just be right…

Lets have both for back up!!
