The kicking competition between Mike Vanderjagt and Brett Conway will go down to the wire.
After tonight's preseason finale against Cincinnati in the RCA Dome, the Colts must decide whether to stick with Vanderjagt, the most accurate field-goal kicker in NFL history, or go with Conway.
Ideally, the team would keep both and allow Conway, who has displayed a stronger leg during the preseason, to concentrate on kickoffs while Vanderjagt handles field goals.
"But in my mind, I don't think we will," coach Tony Dungy said after Thursday afternoon's practice. "I think we're going to have one kicker.
"We've got to make the right decision."
Vanderjagt has missed his three field-goal attempts during the preseason while Conway is 1-for-2. Neither attempted a field goal Monday night against Denver.
"Brett is a quality kicker and has kicked in the league," Dungy said. "Mike is a very quality kicker who has made a lot of big kicks for us.
"We're going to be in good hands no matter who we decide on."
Good luck
