Holding on to Novak

I'd say that Novak, even if he doesn't make the active roster this week, will remain on the team until next week. If Hall does kick and strains something, we don't want to end up in a "Philadelphia Eagles" situation where we're scrambling to sign someone because our 90% healthy kicker can't hold up to the strain of the game.

Keep Novak. Remember David Akers.

I'd much rather be scrambling to find a DL or DB than a kicker. Kickers score POINTS.

Here's the article from the Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/26/AR2005102602314.html)



Now granted, it's from the Post, where they are still crying over their tiff with the Skins, but with injuries elsewhere, and Gibbs preferring Vets to rookies, you'd have to almost guess that come Sunday, Novak will be gone.Thats kind of scary that we may have to rely on Hall with his leg problems. If it was his first injury, I'd say no big deal. This has been an on going non contact problem which might flar up at any time. I just hope they think this out before letting him go. If he does leave our O just has to score enough points so we don't have to rely on a last min. field goal.
