Mike Vanderjagt available?

I'd have to say that the kicking game is the least of our worries.

Ramseyfan:

I was not trying to hedge my bet here so let me be as clear as I can.

I do NOT want the Skins to pursue Vanderjagt. That is not because I think the Skins' kicking game is great - it is decent but not much better than that - but because Vanderjagt will command a big price and I do not think the Skins should allocate resorces there.

I was responding to someone who said that Hall and Chandler gave the skins a solid kicking game. With Hall's injury the Skins kicking game was really mediocre. In fact, Gibbs had to defer on a long field goal attempt in a late season game because he kinda felt like Chandler wasn't gonna get it to the goal posts on three bounces.

Can the kicking game be improved? You bet. Can it be improved without spending a lot of money on it? Not likely. Should that "additional money" be spent on other parts of the team? Definitely.

Summary:

Kicking game could be better.

Vanderjagt would make it better

Likely cost for Vanderjagt is higher than the Skins should pay.
