Blake Grupe has underwhelmed this season to say the least. The New Orleans Saints named him a captain for the first time in his career. Despite the early struggles, Kellen Moore retains the same level of confidence in Grupe from the beginning of the season.
Fans may find that confidence strange and difficult to understand. In five games, Grupe has missed five field goals. Most fans are already calling for his head. It's not surprising. The Saints have been in close games, and Grupe's misses have taken valuable points off the board.
Moore is standing behind his kicker, for better or worse.
