Adam Vinatieri was not Mr. Automatic for the Indianapolis Colts in 2007

The Colts did not get what they expected out of kicker Adam Vinatieri in 2007 and they hope he rebounds in 2008.  The 35-year old Vinatieri is starting to look his age for the Colts.  Vinatieri played in all 16 games for the Colts last season and he made 23 of 29 field goals (79.3%).  He also made 49 of 51 extra points for the Colts last season.  Vinatieri is a borderline Hall of Famer as he has been one of the best clutch kickers of all time but he needs a couple of more good years just to make sure.  I think he will rebound in 2008 for the Colts.  Vinatieri has now played in 189 games in his NFL career and he has connected on 311 of 378 field goals (82.3%).  He has also nailed 454 of 463 extra points (98.1%) in his career.
