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. |

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..... |

honestly, I'd rather have Vanderdrunk over Hall...however, as SC has pointed out, i wouldn't take the cap hit for it...
Career Percentage by Distance 1-19 yards Vanderjagt: 100% (5-5) Hall: 100% (3-3) 20-29 yards Vanderjagt: 97% (61-63) Hall: 95% (58-61) 30-39 yards Vanderjagt: 92% (56-61) Hall: 79% (67-85) INSIDE 40 Vanderjagt: 95% (122-129) Hall: 86% (128-149) 40-49 yards Vanderjagt: 79% (58-73) Hall: 58% (41-71) 50+ yards Vanderjagt: 67% (14-21) Hall: 48% (13-27) People may knock Vanderjagt because he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, but to compare him to Hall & Chandler...it isnt even close... check the stats...the return average for both kickers is identical...and for those who contest Vanderjagt's leg...he's got one more over 50 with 6 fewer attempts than Hall... what would you rather have, a highly accurate kicker who doesn't kick off, or a decent kicker that can boom kickoffs...

I'm not denying Vandy is clearly the better kicker, hell he's one of the best of all-time.
Hall reminds me a lot of Chip Lohmiller. Cannon of a leg, not as accurate as you'd like him to be but can still get the job done. Hall also had the pleasure of kicking 8 games a year in the swirling winds of Giants stadium, not exactly a kicker's paradise. |

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.

Most definitely. Just like you say, the money could be spent to address other, more important, areas.

Vanderjagt 2004 Indoor v. Outdoor
Indoor - 12/15 (80%) Outdoor - 8/10 (80%) Vanderjagt 2003 Indoor v. Outdoor Indoor - 19/19 (100%) Outdoor - 18/18 (100%) Hall 2003 Indoor v. Outdoor Indoor - 1/2 (50%) Outdoor - 24/31 (77%) Guys like Jason Hanson, Vinatieri, and Vanderjagt are just flat out great kickers, and it doesn't matter where they kick, they produce results. Hall has never been the most accurate kicker... but, as others have stated...the money can be better spent elsewhere...i wouldn't say the kicking game is fine, but adequate enough to get through the season.
