[quote=BDBohnzie;234325]Why draft a kicker? there are like 14 Zendajas brothers out there, plus a Jose Cortez, and we could always go find Chip Lohmiller.

There will be some FA kickers available in the offseason. Plus most decent kickers actually don't get drafted, and will be available for cheaper after the draft.[/quote]

Guess who the Skins drafted in 6th round in 1999?

John Hall!

We are not talking a high round draft choice here.

FA kickers typically are warn out!

Still have no idea why the Skins let Aikers go in 1999?

Nice move.

[QUOTE=TAFKAS;234132]I thought the complaint was that he gets rid of the ball too quickly.[/QUOTE]

If you are speaking of screens, then yes...but you don't need quality blocking for a screen except for the side the ball is thrown to. If Brunell is looking downfield, he holds on to the ball too long. He is afraid to make a mistake instead of being aggressive.
I don't want to make this into another brunell thread...so, does anyone know who will be available as a free agent kicker in the offseason?

We drafted Jeff Hall, not John Hall.

We wanted Darryl Hall but we would have had to take John Oates as well.

Re: Cap Sheets Update 10/18/06
 

John Hall came into the league in 1997...so if he was drafted in '99, that's pretty amazing.

Sorry I read Hall and jumped at the wrong name. Anyhow it Jeff Hall and he is a kicker.

Screw FA kickers. The biggest problem the Skins had the last 8 games of last year season was kick offs. Most only made it to the other teams 20.

Re: Cap Sheets Update 10/18/06
 

I think it's safe to say that John Hall has made his last kick for the Redskins (and he missed).

Re: Cap Sheets Update 10/18/06
 

[quote=dmek25;234181]hoo is right on the money. if the skins go back to running the football, both Samuels and Jansen play will look better to everyone. and so far, both of their play has been sub par[/quote]

True! There has been much heated talk of chemistry of late. Tossing Jansen prematurely will not impact that favorably

But would you call him "injury prone" ? LOL

Do you remember before Hall came to the Skins? We seriously lost 2-3 games a season because of the kicker. Hall is done, no doubt about it, but we NEED a free agent kicker, a solid one. Jose Cortez is not solid! Spend 2 mil a season for all I care to sure up this horrible kicking game!

Going 0-2 on FGs when the team was desperate for a kicker didn't help his cause then.

Plus the Redskins' crystal ball was a bit foggy at that time.

Re: Cap Sheets Update 10/18/06
 

at that time? i don't think it ever really cleared up. kinda like a broken magic 8 ball...

[quote=61cad;234302]Why not draft a kicker?[/quote]Because we have no picks.
