Any thoughts on Big Al in Philly?


NFL.com Blogs » Blog Archive Wyche: Eagles a fit for Haynesworth? «


I'd almost be willing to give him to a division rival just to get rid of him. Hopefully it will work out as well as the McNabb deal did for us...payback in a way.

I could see Haynesworth and the Philly fans really turning on each other and getting very ugly fast, which would be very entertaining.

Also, we may target a new punter in Maynard from the Bears, but I think people are forgetting about Bidwell when healthy.

Hmmmm...
Akers played one game for us back in 98. Two attempts 2 misses.
Two years later he's 33/29.

He potentially has four years left on him.
I'd have more confidence in him than Gano.

so your point, I believe, is that Akers developed into an excellent kicker, and we let him get away, so now near the end of his career we should let another young kicker go, so that we can bring Akers back. Does that mean I can pencil in Gano for our 2020 season?

Just saying, Gano showed some potential, his name means win(absolutely no bearing but still cool), and he is young enough that if he "gets it" he could be our solution for 10 years.

[Alvin Walton]

No, basically my point is that I was surprised that Akers was at one time a Redskin.

Gano makes me nervous but I could live with him for another year and see if he turns into Chip Lohmiller..
I would be less nervous if we picked up Akers but yea, we would not have a 10 year solution or whatever.

lol!
seriously, Gano has a strong leg & could be the guy for us for years to come. I'm glad Shanny has been patient w/him. If he's missing kicks that keep us out of the playoffs that's one thing, but as this team stands now, kicker might as well be added to the list of positions the staff is developing w/young talent.

I know he was a Redskin but your comment still makes no sense, at least in English.

[Alvin Walton]

Whats not to make sense?
I just pointed out he was formerly a Redskin.
He had one bad game (for which he apparently was a temporary fill in) and he was gone.
Two years later he turned out to be a very good kicker.

[MTK]

It doesn't make sense because 33/29 isn't possible, obviously you meant 29/33

[Alvin Walton]

FGA 33
FGM 29

Thats the order NFL.com has it listed in.

That doesn't mean you list it in that order. made always goes before attempt. You made it sound like he made 33 and only attempted 29. Man we are really fishing for stuff to talk about aren't we? I hate these bastards that won't get this lockout over with.

Yes we are discussing basic math right now. Gotta love the lockout
