Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Is it early? Yes. However this man deserves a fan club. Who's with me? We will meet every Tuesday to discuss the greatness that is Sav!

He's a beast.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Smashing Patrick Peterson(or any other punt returner) = gold. Count me in.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Liked that monster hit he put on the returner at the end of the game. Australians go hard

I've been singing his praises since he hit that 63 yard punt that went out of bounds at the 4 in preseason. I'm in. I haven't felt that good about our punter since Tom Tupa.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

A trip to Hawaii would be deserved as of today and would also shorten his trip back home Down Under.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Rumor has it Sav Rocca is the one who killed Osama. Took on the job because kicking cars 50 yards in the junkyards was boring him during the lockout.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

YEAH, that was a freaking awesome hit on the returner. Rocca is a large dude.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Everybody knows not to f' with an Aussie. Sav Rocca sic'd that stingray on Steve Irwin because he was tired of Irwin taking all the glory for being Australian.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Those British prisoners had some fine blood that they passed down. (Of course, Rocca's geneaolgy might be completely different, but w/e).

Best punter in the league so far

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

When Sav Rocca punts:
- Women in the next state have unexplained orgasms;
- Death takes a holiday;
- Babies are afraid to cry;
- Eagles fans die a little.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

G'day guys from Down Under.

Was ecstatic when I heard Sav was joining the skins. Without doubt one of the top 10 kickers i have seen in Aussie Rules..

Check out this youtube clip

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=civKdIgEC6I]Saverio 'Sav' Rocca kicks a goal from a mile away - YouTube[/ame]

Keep in mind, that he is kicking the ball from approx 65 metres (70-75yards) The red markings on the ground are the 50metre arc and he is a fair way behind that. Also, the type of kick does not travel as far as a spiral (or what we call a torpedo).. He can kick 80+ yards...

As for the tackle, not surprised as our game is built on hard hits, and everyone is taught to tackle from a young age..(unlike most punters)

Also, his younger brother Anthony retired from AFL a couple of years ago and is a better kick than Sav..

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

If the Eagles had Sav Rocca tonight they would have won in a blowout.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Rocca is freaking awesome.. i think we should recruit all our future kickers from rugby

Who's the dude at the end wearing the white suit and hat? He's be a candid NFL ref.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

The guy with the white suit is the Goal Umpire..Adjudicates whether it is a goal or not....He waves the flags to signal to all that a goal has been scored.

Also Bucket...big difference between Rugby and Aussie Rules (what Rocca played)..Rugby is simlar to NFL..more throwing the ball (think laterals)..whereas Aussie Rules is kicking of the ball, hence Rocca's ability

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

I know.. I play Rugby video games all the time. lol

Obviously I like American football. But I also think that Aussie rules football is cool. It is a true man's game.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

Still send Sav to Hawaii, but take a quick detour up to Alcatraz.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

As a punter, he was awesome. As a holder, where you have to be perfect every play he wasn't.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

As much as I hate settling for field goals, we could've used those 3 points tonight. Still though there's a multitude of reasons we lost tonight's game, so I'm willing to forgive Rocca on the grounds that's really been his only negative play in 3 games. Just work on it and hopefully we won't see it again.

Hopefully we won't be settling for FGs all the time.

This as well.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

*Jumps off the Rocca bandwagon.*

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

While thinking about Rocca's goof...I just realized, Sundberg is doing a great job on snaps this year. We have not noticed him...which is what we want. He was HORRIBLE last season, but it seems he's really worked hard to improve since last time we saw him.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

I coached in HS and college for years and we always put our best sure handed receiver as holder on expts and fg's. Why dont the NFL and major colleges do this? Maybe cause of player absence, injuries, etc.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

I don't want Moss being at risk on holds or any special teams position, even punt returning, which he's always been successful with.

A lot of HS teams don't have 53 talented players and often have to improvise to fill every roster spot in the 3 squads. That's why you'll have your TE playing LB too. :D

Well we all know Gano wont be going to Hawaii

Id rather have a proven player on your team in a critical spot than some rogue punter. But kickers are sooo much easier to curse at. BTW and just what are the percent of injuries that come from the fg holder?? Im sure its very high.

Re: Send Sav Rocca to Hawaii!
 

yeah, the holder gets pummeled on every field goal.....................I dont think ive personally ever seen the holder get into much danger, well, other than when he ****s the hold up and then proceeds to look like he is freaking the **** out all while trying to pick the weirdly shaped ball up, just prior to getting nailed while trying to throw some half assed doomed from birth throw to the back of the nearest linemans helmet.

I think Ive seen em get lit up doing that shit.........
