Actually, his 3 biggest FGs.but the bottom line is, biggest field goal of his life vandy choakedin the half-dozen or so HUGE field goals vin has tried, he nailed them all. He should have been the MVP of their first super bowl!Even taking away the "clutch" label (Vandy is the opposite of clutch), he's an upgrade because:1. He can kickoff - Vandy is awful at that. That could save a roster spot on the Colts that was used on a KO specialist.Why is he an upgrade?

He's certainly not more accurate than Vanderjagt. He's more "clutch"?![]()
2. He won't be a cancer in the locker room. He'd never say that another team is "ripe for the picking" before a playoff game.
The Colts play in the RCA Dome, and Vinatieri has made 37 of 41 career field goals indoors. His only misses have come in Reliant Stadium in Houston, all in the 2003 season (3 of 5 vs. Houston and 1 of 3 vs. Carolina in the Super Bowl). He is a perfect 10 for 10 in Indianapolis.Vinatieri is 34 for 36 on FGs indoors.
I'm thrilled with this. Absolutely thrilled.
This signing doesn't solve many of the Colts' problems - but until the draft and the "cheaper" wave of FA we don't know how the Colts will replace the Edge and David Thorton. I'm willing to wait and see what happens.From the Colts' perspective, I think I'd rather have Vanderjagt and Edgerin James than Vinatieri and Dominic Rhodes.

Can we all agree to say Edge if we're talking about the Cardinals RB, and the Edge if we're talking about the U2 guy? It would make things easier for me.

Vandy has missed 2 clutch playoff kicks. Add the previously made off the field comments, I'd say the Colts have seen enough.From the Colts' perspective, I think I'd rather have Vanderjagt and Edgerin James than Vinatieri and Dominic Rhodes.
Fixed.Adam V= best clutch kicker of all time IMHO.
