NICK NOVAK!!!!! hes the man!!...if we can get him back it would be amazing... i have a huge feeling about him...i think he is going to be amazing in this league...also if you remeber he hit a 50 yarder that was called back b/c of an offsides i believe on mike sellers.... but there are HUGE names out but dont spend the money b/c novak comes cheap~jake

I'm hoping that is an area they just haven't addressed yet. Hall hopefully will not be back...pathetic kicker to say the least. That missed FG @ Seattle still haunts me, seattle fans laughing...me being pissed off...such a blown opportunity...and I'm not saying get rid of Hall because of that instance...I'm saying that we need a reliable kicker that is consistent and someone we can have confidence in, Hall is definately not that.

GET RID OF HALL. i am SICK of seeing opposing teams catch our kickoffs from the 15 yard line. I am also sick of havin to punt from the 32 yard line and further. that is horrible. he may be accurate but he has NO leg. our punting got better as the year went on. spend $ on a field goal kicker with a cannon of a leg.

#1 We are set with Hall

#2 Hall is better than Novak

I was sad to see Tupa go however. The guy could just not get healthy. We will need to find his replacement.

A HEALTHY Joe Hall is maybe better then Novak. John Hall, if he can stay healthy, is what he is. Nick Novak is up and coming and will only get better.

I would not be upset if John Hall was our Kicker come seasons start but, I would feel a lot better if Novak filled that position instead of Hall.

I disagree. Hall is too injury prone. I have never seen a kicker miss so much time due to injury. He is a good kicker when he isn't injured but he gets injured every year. I wouldn't mind us going after Vinatieri depending on the how much cap space we had left, but Novak would be fine with me as well. He did a good job for us last year.

Our punter situation is more pressing. Derrick Frost has a worse punt average than my old high school punter. Sadly, I am not kidding when I say that. In fact, if we can't find anyone else we should find him. I'm sure he'll play for the league minimum. I hope we can get someone of Rouen's caliber. I rather give Andy Groom another shot than deal with Frost again. Yes I know Groom didn't play that well but he at least seemed to have a better leg than Frost.

We have to be careful, getting overconfident with our kicking game has killed us so many times in the past (especially in 2000).

You know what they say, "If you have to rely on your kicking game, you are in more trouble than you thought." Count Akers and Vinatieri out of course. Maybe even Jason Elam but other than that--relying on your kicking game so heavily can spell doom for your chances of winning.

We kept Hall I'm guessing as insurance for Novak. Maybe we are looking for a kicker, but I haven't heard any rumors on who. A punter like Rouen would be nice, I'm not too sure if Frost is the answer. I would love if we got Vinateri, just to see the reaction of the Cowboys fans. Right now they are all saying they need to get him, he's so good. The second we get Vinateri (big if) I'll bet they all say he's over the hill, Skins are trying to buy a championship, blah blah blah.

Venatieri anyone? :silly:

although i do think we need a reliable kicker, i think vinateri is gonna cost too much for us to sign him..

we could have gotten longwell for a bit less, but the rest of them do not exite me.. vander jagt is an indoor kicker.. peterson is old. ediger is not any better than what we have. bryant re signed..

exactly who is out there?

we are gonna get hall by default i think when it all ends

Who is still out there punter wise? Isn't Roeun still out there from Seattle?

zastudil was the guy to get.. but he is signed now.

rouen is the only older guy out there that seems to be an upgrade.

college punters are beyond risky.. i do not know who we will end up having there. it makes me nervous, but there is time
