Vanderjagt misses 2 in OT tonight

[MTK]

LOL what a joke, gotta wonder what's wrong with him. Is he hurt or messed up in the head from his epic shank in the playoffs last year?

[ArtMonkDrillz]

The epic shank still lingers

[Redskins8588]

Anyone here think that Parcells will cut him?

[mooby]

Nah, no way Parcells would cut him, he's at least ten times better than all the kickers they were using last year.

Dude, any nitwit who has ever kicked a ball can kick 10 times better Jose whatchamacallhim. Dallas PAID Vanderjagt to make those kicks but him choking does put a smile on my mug.

But it is just preseason right???

I guess preseason only matters for kickers who play for Dallas.

Hey, we're just as worried about Hall. I feel like we might have the Dallas syndrome this year having a crappy kicker. Preseason doesn't affect how your kicker should perform.

touche sir...well played...well played indeed...but however the kicking game does matter in preseason its the only position really where the 1st guy plays most of the time...unless there is a battle for the spot

And really, if you call out the Cowboys for overpaying a free agent, then I would hope that your house ain't made of glass.

What free agents are you talking about? The Redskins haven't overpaid a ton of free agents since 2000. If you are talking about this past offseason's free agent acquisitions, then you also have to consider the increased cap room insofar as it boosted future contracts. I'm not a big fan of building through free agency, but the Redskins have done a pretty good job of it over the past few years.

As for the Cowboys:

$2M/yr for "that idiot kicker" is a little steep IMHO.
$4.3M/yr for a 30 year-old, fat, and lazy DT (Ferguson) is a little steep too.
$4M/yr. for a 33 year-old, over-the-hill guard (Rivera) is way too much.
$8M/yr. for the biggest ass of a wideout (TO) is laughable.
And let's just forget guys like Marcellus Wiley.

I think that he is calling out Dallas for over paying for a KICKER!!!! You are right it is only preseason, but when you are a KICKER at his level you should make kicks, esp. chip shots...

says a fellow fan from the team that vastly overpaid for one john hall.

[Redskins8588]

yeah but we know that john hall sucks...

[dmek25]

the two positions that is expected to perform in preseason like it is regular season is the 2 kickers. vanderjagt has a sore hamstring but his physche(sp) might be damaged as well

[steveo395]

Did anyone see Ray Finkle, I mean Mike Vanderjagt's interview after the game? He said how he'll be ok and how he has the ability to turn it on when it counts, even though he obviously doesn't, or else he wouldn't choke on every important kick.
