The Saints are shaking things up in the wake of Sunday’s ugly loss to the Panthers, and the next change may be at kicker.

Vetearn kicker Garrett Hartley is in town for a workout, Nick Underhill of the Advocate reports. Kicker Zach Hocker is also working out.

Hartley or Hocker could be signed to replace the Saints’ current kicker, Shayne Graham, who has struggled this season and missed a 42-yard field goal wide left on Sunday.

Saints coach Sean Payton appears to be mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore after the way his team has played in losing four of its last five games. Safety Kenny Vaccaro has been benched and wide receiver Joe Morgan has been waived in other moves this week.

What remains to be seen is whether shaking up the roster pays off. The Saints have three winnable games remaining on the schedule — at Chicago, home against Atlanta and at Tampa Bay — and if they win those three games they win the NFC South. But the Saints haven’t won three straight games at any point all season, and there’s little reason to believe they’ll start now.
