Thats what happens when you have a kicker thats gone 5 for 13. That just ain't cutting it up here. We need some consistency. Its not like we're signing every guy on the waiver wire.....

He is a cowboys reject, he was with the cowboys when Cundiff got hurt, nothing more than a backup from what i've heard.

I think Vandy needs some time off for a few months. I think a lot of his problems right now are Chuck Knoblauch-esque. Who knows if he'll ever recover from that.

For those of us who don't follow baseball, Chuck Knoblauch did what now? I feel like my Dad watching a Dennis Miller special.

Is it like when Dale Murphy was a catcher early in his career and couldn't throw the ball to second one day?

Yeah. He suddenly couldn't throw a baseball from second to first base. His throws were all over the place

Yeah, major meltdown. It was tough to watch, no matter what team you rooted for.

Quote:

An even worse meltdown was Rick Ankiel. He went from great pitcher to not even being able to throw the ball anywhere near the catcher. It was all mental. The pressure of the big leagues made him into a headcase. He gave up pitching and came back with the Cards as an outfielder a few years later and still plays there.

The left-hander made it to the major leagues at age 19 and was 11-7 with a 3.50 ERA with 194 strikeouts in 175 innings in 2000 but developed record-setting wildness in the playoffs. In the postseason opener against Atlanta, he became the first major league pitcher since 1890 to throw five wild pitches in one inning and had nine wild pitches in four innings during the postseason.
He went 1-2 with a 7.13 ERA in six starts for the Cardinals in 2001, walking 25 in 24 innings, then was sent to the minors.

Boswell's article today is cursing us out for not going after Vandy:

Thomas Boswell - Who You Calling An Idiot? - washingtonpost.com

Personally I agree and think we should give Vandy a shot. What do we have to lose? He could be a huge steal and if not we cut him. It's not like we're averse to deadcap.

PS - I also think we should bring back JoeCrisp. I think he's still got something left in the tank.

JoeRedskin · 11-28-2006, 06:11 PM

It would great if SS turns out to be a young good kicker we could keep until he's 36.

Now THAT would be amazing: Solidify the Kicker an QB for the next 10 years. That's almost un-redskin.

That Guy · 11-28-2006, 06:32 PM

suisham probably isn't the answer. we won't have the pick to take crosby, so unless there's a good FA kicker, vandy's the best we can do.

Josh Brown? Matt Stover?

yeah, too bad we gave up the chance at vinetari and longwell. stover's old, but they could hold down the fort for a few years. brown talks too much smack for a kicker, but he's better than anything we've had as well.

charlielyons · 11-28-2006, 06:34 PM

id rather have vander.

Redskin · 11-28-2006, 06:40 PM

probably another nick novak

dall-assblows · 11-28-2006, 06:51 PM

comcast just reported that the team is NOT interested in vandy.

but ya never know with this organization.

dmek25 · 11-28-2006, 06:55 PM

i say give the kid a legit shot, and maybe we can have ourselves a kicker for more than 1 or 2 seasons
