Gibbs and Firstdown Believed in Hall...Now I Do Too!

SmootSmack · 10-01-2006, 11:00 PM

Gotta give some props to John Hall. 5 for his last 5, including a 44-yarder and a 47-yarder. 200th career field goal today

Respect to the kicker. Mad respect

mad love. hail!

At first, I was screaming for Gibbs to go for it on 4th and 1 at the end, one of the reasons being Hall not exactly automatic anymore. Whatever. It was the right call.

Now, if he could only get those kickoffs a bit further...

Yes,I have to give major props to Hall today,but his kickoffs leave something to be desired,but thats a coaching descision I still dont understand,Frost kicks off deeper,I dont know why they switched back to Hall,speaking of Frost,great punt inside the 10,but 2 lousy punts in a row,penalty on the first one,instead of redeeming himself he shanks the 2nd one bigtime,I dont know what it is with him and the shanks,I've never seen a punter shank so many kicks,but at least they didnt score after his shank,so thumbs up for Hall,Frost is a no descision

Frost had a couple bad punts tonight. Hopefully he continues progressing after this, he was coming along nicely this season. As for Hall, I'm suprised. Before tonight i was concerned that he'd have trouble with anything beyond 40 yards. Hopefully he's back to his pre-injury form.

If I remember right, Gibbs mentioned something a week ago about how allowing Hall to kickoff helps keep his leg warm and that helps him on field goals; or something like that

I would trade those in for the one in Seattle last year but you are right. He was solid.

Hall still scares the shit out of me...I still think that SOB is going to cost us at least another game.

He only had one bad punt...the one where he punted nice the first time and then had to do it over again because of a penalty. I'm really impressed with him though he could be a little more consistent. He is young though and he will only get better.

Did you think the coaches just flipped a coin or something?

Of course there was a logical reason.

Me too...I was about to throw up when I saw him come out to take the lead...but I was shocked, relieved and VERY happy when he made it. It wasn't even a good looking kick, but it was good ENOUGH.

I still hope we can score enough so that games aren't put on his foot from here out though.

It does make sense...but can't they just let him ride a bike and get someone who CAN kickoff?

I trust Gibbs though...

Was I the only person on this site defending Hall a couple of weeks ago?
