Grupe’s Wild Card for Jets Kicker Spot | Duluth News

The Jets’ kicker situation just got spicy — they brought in Blake Grupe off waivers to compete with Jason Sanders, who missed a crucial 54-yarder in the preseason finale. Grupe had a shaky start but ended last season on fire, nailing every kick in his final five games, including bombs from 50 yards out. But here’s the twist: Sanders is still on the practice squad, meaning Grupe’s job isn’t guaranteed. He’s used to indoor stadiums, but the Jets have early road games outdoors — and he’s only got one outdoor game under his belt (a solid XP, but a missed FG at Soldier Field). Can he adapt? Can he stay consistent? The competition’s far from over — and Grupe’s got to earn that starting spot. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
