Gibbs presser 9/12/06

I thought punting was fine--except the first punt. I remember an excellent punt that was downed around the 5 yard line. I must say I was surprised, and 37 NET yards is pretty darn good.

I can't remember - did the Vikes do anything with the good field position after Frost's first crappy punt? Frost needs to have a few consecutive games with no shanks before I would say he is doing his job. Nobody should be satisfied with him shanking one per game, regardless of how the rest of the punts turn out.

Blindly sticking with Hall is bound to cost us another game, two or three. We should at least bring in a few kickers for try-outs.

Frost kicked pretty well. But Gibbs being locked into Hall has me worried too. When Gibbs likes a guy he is very stubborn about changing things, so it'll be Hall for a while. Let's hope Gibbs is correct, and he snaps out of it.

Good idea - it (sort of) worked with Frost.

But Gibbs being locked into Hall.


Yes, he is! Locked into the Hall of Fame!

Once they see the replay I don't see how they could fine Taylor. He clearly hit him with his shoulder and he even pulled up a bit. He could have totally lit him up but he actually showed some restraint. The call was just horrible.

It's not just the Redskins and their fans that think that.

49ers QB Trent Dilfer, appearing as a guest on Fox Sports Radio, on the penalties being called for hitting quarterbacks: “I’m waiting for them to bring out the flags, and make us all wear flags around our waste. I’m an offensive player but the thing that bothers me, is don’t blame the refs; the refs are just doing what they are told to do by the league. It’s become a two hand touch league, I saw the hit by (Sean) Taylor last night by the Redskins on the sideline, I mean that’s the cleanest hit you cant have and he gets flagged 15 yards for it.” (I guess he meant to say cleanest hit you can have)

finally someone besides me sees the light. What has John Hall done for us lately? the answer seems to me to be get hurt and still get paid and when we need him most he chokes. We need to have a kicking competition. Hell Hall doesnt even handle the kickoffs. Making FGs is his only job. If a part of my job was on the line for the rest of the company and i choked I would get fired. Think back to opening day last year...antonio brown fumbled a kick return and on monday he was cut. To stick by hall after two years of nothing but injury problems and missing a very makeable field goal monday night has me baffled.. There needs to be a change in the FG kicking department. I wonder Like twilbert does how many more kicks does he have to miss or better yet how games does he have to cost us before a change is made.

I agree with you here, vaoutlaws2006 - I just don't get the loyalty to Hall. Maybe he has polaroids of Snyder getting cuddly with a goat or something.
