Sarge Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 So much for being a breakout player. Went from hero to goat in two weeks.Is Andyman really 15 years old? :laugh: Haven't you heard? That's how the Danny got rich, from child labor. Thanks Andyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzod Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 novak was the kicker for MD, i went to MD he was a stud, really strong leg and was pretty consistant in college..i would say he was one of the top3 or 4 kickers in college when we was...im not sure how different/harder it is to kick from the nfl hashmarks, but if he plays like he did for the terps it he'll be a good replacement for the time being.... Yup. When he first started he was shaky, but then he knocked in a game-winner (GA.TECH?) and was off and running from there. He was in Bears camp last year.

@DCGoldPants Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 So, nobody else is signed because Hall is still on the roster, right? How many WR's do we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabR Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sorry AB. You had your chance, and you dropped it. Now. Who in the h-e double hockey sticks is Nick Novak?

Underwater Ally Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Good to hear, Brown was getting frustrating. Hopefully we'll see some Santana. I bet we will, because with Brunell at QB, we won't need him as much at reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soljaofjesus Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 could this be the return of dyson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Why does it matter. Chances are if we did pick up someone like that, they are free because NO ONE WANTS THEM (read: they suck). Who knows maybe this kid will turn out to be awesome and can stick around for a while (read: andy groom) You must have missed 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project myu Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 maybe dyson will be brought back now and give us that tall receiver threat. I didn't really like what I saw of Dyson.. Let's see how Sean Taylor pans out! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpark Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 WOW! I thought having only 5 WRs on the roster was keeping it a little thin. Now we only have four? And one of them is practicing this week for the first time in a month and a half? Seems a little risky. I hope the team gets the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepo11 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 just because novak wasnt on a team doesnt mean he isnt any good, not many kickers come right in out of college and get jobs, yeah there are a few like nugent, janowkoski, but most young kickers get there chance like this....he really is a good kicker, he was really solid after his first few games his freshman year....i think he a much better fix then bringin in proven bums like kimran and chandler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I agree, they may want to get Dyson. For what he is washed up, doesn't play special teams and doesn't seem to really want to prove anybody wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorgantownHokie88 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Three years ago, when we had our kicking problems, I remember posting.....I know one guy who the Skins should go out and get....Shayne Graham. The guy was clutch in college. Of course nothing happen. Then, the following year, the Bengals gave Shayne a shot, and, whammo, he's one of the best kickers now in the NFL. Just thought I would share that story with all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernSkinsFan Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Concerning our new friend, Nicky: http://2005.otcdraft.com/content/profiles/kicker/NickNovak.php "Nick Novak has been among the top place kickers in the country for several years now. The fifth year senior who redshirted in 2000, has been starting for the Terps since his redshirt freshman year in 2001. As a sophomore in 2002, Nick was 8-10 on kicks of 40 yards or more and 3-4 on kicks of 50 yards or more. He was a Lou Groza award semi-finalist both his sophomore and junior seasons. Novak holds the ACC career scoring record with 393 points, shattering the previous record of 326 points set by Scott Bentley from Florida State. In 2004 he became the first player in Maryland history to receive the James E. Tatum Award, which is given annually to the conference's top student athlete. Nick has a strong leg and good accuracy. He is almost automatic from inside 40 yards and pretty consistent up to 50 yards. Quite a few of his misses have been between 55 and 62 yards. Nick is also one of the better kickoff specialists in the country. He has a great deal of talent that warrants late-round consideration in the draft." Sounds like a viable option. He was, however, apparently released by the Bears and the Cowgirls this preseason. Both teams chose to keep veterans. We now have a rookie kicker and punter/holder. At least we don't have a rookie quarterback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hell, he sounds better than I initially believed. Let's just hope hall isn't out forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 uh oh, this kid was a cowboy for a while.... A little more info... Tue Aug 30, 6:31 PM ET IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys finally found someone to compete for their vacancy at kicker, claiming Nick Novak off waivers from the Chicago Bears on Tuesday. Novak is a rookie from Maryland, where he became the ACC's career leading scorer and fifth-best in Division I-A history. He produced 393 points, making 80 of 107 field-goal attempts and 153 of 159 extra-point tries He made all three field goals he attempted for the Bears this pre-season. The Bears elected to keep veteran Doug Brien. In Dallas, Novak will challenge Jose Cortez for the job Billy Cundiff held the last three seasons. After Cundiff was released last week, the Cowboys traded for Seth Marler of Jacksonville, but he failed a physical, voiding the deal. http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20050830/ca_pr_on_fo/nfl_cowboys_moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
