New Kicker And Punter, Can We Afford Them?

[hurrykaine]

I think we ought to cut Tupa and keep Frost. Frost was one of the main reasons the Seahawks didn't blow us up in the 1st quarter. He hung his punts up there from way back in our territory allowing Jimoh and others to make good plays on special teams. I know this was just one game, but it was a playoff game, in bad weather, on the road, and he did well. That tells me something. Not to mention, he can kick off too, if needed. Tupa is old and overpaid.

If we can pry Novak from under Arizona's hands, I'd be heavily in favor of locking him up and releasing Hall.

We should have kept Nick the Kick when we had the chance, and cut Hall. Theoretically, Arizona won't need him once Rackers is backers.

Frost? whatever.

What did Novak do to convince you he was any better than an average kicker? His kickoffs were meager and his fieldgoals only reliable under 50. Sounds about like what we already have in Hall. At least he used to be better than that and could possibly get back to that. I am not saying keep Hall but Novak isn't the answer either. He is a mid season pick up kicker in the NFL at best.

I wonder about your kicking analysis.
