Didn't we learn the lesson about drafting the kicking game last year?

Anyone know how Jerry Jones' wasted draft pick on a kicker/punter has turned out? I haven't heard about the guy. All of the Dallas fans were defending the pick, saying their rookie kicker was a great tackler...

re: Better kickers available?

I remember Hall plenty. He never had the leg, but the accuracy was there. He was an excellent kicker under 39 yards....

He was injured 4 times in 2004 season, once in 2005, and in 2006 was placed on injured reserve. He was a Joe Gibbs favorite, but injuries severely ended his career.

40-45 yards were iffy at best...45+ forget it. They were smart in getting rid of Hall.

Whats sad is that Suisham was deemed his replacement. He is more like Hall 2.0

He had plenty of leg before the injuries. But yeah, the injuries robbed him of distance.

According to Madden 2010 there are several better options out there.

Vet min? Or, maybe a 7th rounder if they're under contract? Maybe we could get Brees and the Saints kicker if we throw in a 5th rounder. I think they'd bite.

re: Better kickers available?

I'll tell you who i signed in madden to replace Suisham with.

Rhys Lloyd....i got him soley for the reason his kick power was 97 vs Suisham's 81 or whatever it was....and by the end of his 1st season his power was 98, and accuracy was 95.....

But lloyd is in Carolina right now IIRC....

ok, I won't but I think its far more plausible that the Skins blew the game, than that the NFL conspired to keep the Saints undefeated. again, its really just fans looking for any straw.

re: Better kickers available?

I mean really at this point, what sense does it make? Four meaningless games left, whatever. I think its more about sending a message. If this was the first time this guy failed in the clutch, I wouldnt be this upset about it... but didn't we cut Bret Conway in 2000 after he missed a big kikc against the Giants? I'm sorry, this is why kickers get paid, to make those kicks.
