Cowboys Release Vanderjagt

BDBohnzie · 11-28-2006, 09:18 AM

It definitely does not hurt to bring Vanderjagt in for a try out this week and see how he does. Novak, as much as it hurts to say, just can't cut the mustard. And while Vanderjagt did play a lot of indoor games, he was still decent outdoors.

the guy is the most accurate kicker in history. We can get him on the cheap, and give him a shot. Even though he has missed some kicks, I think he is a big upgrade from Novak. Plus a change in scenary may do him some good. I think Parcells ruined what ever confidence he had in Dallas. No pressure if he comes here, we are 4-7.

They should sign the bastard. I kept trying to wait to see how long it would take for ESPN to come in saying that Washington had signed him. I honestly didn't think that we'd be at 9:44 am without him as a Redskins kicker. I guess 2:45 pm is a good time to announce his coming on board.

Yes, sign him. Just don't pay him millions..

MonkFan4Life · 11-28-2006, 10:02 AM

Yeah I'd be pretty pissed if they signed him to one of those "richest ever" deals !

Sign him, just don't unload the bank. League minimum.

Dude is likely tossing back a Grey Goose on Redskin One at this moment!

Regarding Vanderjagt..

"It is a gift.
A gift to the foes of Dallas! Why not use this kicker?

Long has Joe Gibbs, the Steward of the 'Skins, kept the forces of Dallas at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give the 'Skins the weapon of the Enemy. Let us use it against him!"

Parcells has a bad recent history w/kickers. Remember last year when they cut Cortez only to bring him back, or was that Cundiff? Regardless he doesn't show them much respect & I think he wanted to cut V'jac back in preseason. He got into his head & probably worsened the slump.
I voted no in the poll, cause he might be bringing too much baggage, but I would have to say he's better than Novak. Poor Nick, if you could only make some kicks & stick around a few years!

Cortez was shit, I would have tossed him to the wolves too. But yeah, Parcell has no interpersonal skills.

While we are on the subject of kickers what happened to Hall? All I herd is that he had fetigue in his leg then he's out on injury reserve. I know he will be gone after the year but I just never heard what really happend.

MonkFan4Life · 11-28-2006, 01:04 PM

Okay seriously it's 1:03 pm and Vanderjagt isn't a Skin yet ?

Hog1 · 11-28-2006, 01:53 PM

Check out Tony Mcgee's assessment of V. He states he is basically an indoor turf kicker and not as effective on grass. Interesting slant. In his opinion, a small upgrade

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-28-2006, 02:02 PM

What I don't understand is how your kicking technique is affected inside versus outside. It seems to me that Novak's technique is lacking. Even though the elements might affect his Vanderjagt's kicking, you'd think if anything he is fundamentally sound enough to be at least 75%+ outdoors.

It's not the technique as much as it's the surface and the lack of weather that makes him a better indoors kicker.

Even at 75% he's an upgrade over Novak who is trying to be our new 50/50.
