Mike Vanderjagt available?

Not worth the tag. Hall has accuracy problems at times, but is solid enough for us!

Despite what SC says when healthy, Hall is a solid kicker. He missed a lot of time this year but this was the first year since he's been in the league that he missed more than 1 game.

And by the way he had 11 touchbacks in 2003.

Vandy has 8 for his entire career.

All fine points Matty, but the question is 'is Hall going to get a bust in Canton?'

Because if not then he just plain sucks right? ;)

Let me make this clear. I do NOT want the Skins to sign Vanderjagt. OK? He would cost them much too much in cap room; he is not a good value.

However, saying that the Skins kicking game is solid is looking at the world through rose colored glasses.

I don't know how many kickers have been here since Danny Boy bought this team, but I'll bet its more than 10 and probably it's close to 15. So none of them can be all that good.

Hall has been hurt a lot since he arrived at a pretty hefty price tag of his own. And without Hurricane Betty at his back, the next time Hall kicks one through the end zone, will be the first since he got here. Injured or not injured!

Chandler is a refugee from the SF 49ers who are just plain awful. What might that tell you?

Comparing either them to "the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL", is just plain wrong.

SC,

You seem to be hedging your bets. On the one hand you say anyone who says our kicking game is solid is looking at the world through rose colored glasses and it's unfair to compare Hall to Vanderjerk. On the other hand, you say you don't think we should grab him.

And are you saying Hall hasn't had a touchback since Hurricaine Betty. I recall differently.

I know you like playing the wise cynic, but I think your standards are WAY too high for evaluating players. Hall had a damn rock solid year his first season here. He was injured this past season, but it's not like the guy is a waif-thin pencil-neck. He's HUGE.

And who compared him to Vanderjerk?

11 touchbacks for Hall in 2003 compared to Vanderjerks career total of 8? WOW! Apparently Hurricaine Betty stuck around for quite awhile in 2003.

Hall's accuracy from 50+ yards was also among the tops in the league (if not the top) in 2003. Saying he has injury issues based on 2004 alone is like saying Jansen (aka THE ROCK) or Arrington have injury issues.

Vanderjerk is so bad kicking off that HE DOESN'T. The Colts brought in some other guy to do the kicking off for them.

no vanderjack please we have a kicker he was just hurt this year.

I'm happy w/ Hall or Chandler. I think they both showed they are good kickers. I say let those two fight it out during training camp.

Hall has a beast leg which means he can hit from the 50s. I like him as a kicker, but his biggest weakness is acuracy. I bet the JETS wished they had him last weekend.

Gmanc - I'll take Kimrin - thanks.....

yeah they brought in spaz wad gramatica cuz vande just doesn't have the leg strength(if he really ever did) to kick solid kickoffs on a regular basis.
