RENTON, Wash. (AP) -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.
The 36-year-old former Pro Bowl kicker made 89 percent of his kicks last season, his first with the Seahawks. That was 9 percent better than Mare’s career average, and he wasn’t even fully healthy.
So why is Mare battling the unproven Brandon Coutu in training camp?
Last week, Seahawks president Tim Ruskell made it clear 2008 might as well be 1908 when it comes to who will kick for Seattle this season.
Ruskell said it will be a nice battle to watch.
