Rift Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe Landetta still has his old playbook and we are just getting ready for the next Giants game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsWizCubsDukes Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John Hall makes too much loot for a gimp leg, sorry buddy. Welcome back Novak, I liked you the entire time as I believe many others as well. Why didn't we have him the whole time?:laugh::laugh::laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselPwr44 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 When healthy Hall is probably better than Novak. . Umm, just when is that?? After his first season here, it's been few and far between. Two things about this move I like: 1) He's a young kicker= has upside. 2) At least the staff has some familiarity with him Let's see what happens? He may turn out to be a good kicker like another young kicker we gave up on and cut some years ago......David Akers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 wait... so was hall cut, or put in IR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Novak missed two field goals from 30-39 yard range last year. He better not for the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 yahoo! if you can't get a cb worth a dang...at least get a new kicker! our season is saved! SB baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateSkins Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I still don't think Novak is very good. What he did at MD means nothing in the NFL and overall he's unproven. Do any of you actually trust this guy having to make a 47 yard kick with the game on the line? It would probably just get blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I like Novak. Especially in comparison to Hall. This is an improvement, if only that I don't need to take a piss break when theres a 40+ yard field goal anymore. hall has made 9/11 field goals this year... thats not exactly horrible. The only problem I had with hall was that he couldnt get the ball past the 10 on kickoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodiesel#44 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 at this point I will take anything over Hall. He is just old. He's got old balls He's also got a girls tatoo in the small of his back. Not kidding, I saw it at practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsWizCubsDukes Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Now all we can hope for is QB tryouts and find a replacement for Boonell!! I couldn't agree more. And I think it is pronounced Boo-smell.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The problem with Hall was Health. He was a good kicker, but he just couldn't stay on the field. Novak is like every other new guy. He has to prove that he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigswanny Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Definitely a good move getting Novak. All I know is this kid has potential and this time we should make his visit a long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodiesel#44 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I don't understand all the Novak hate. In his short time with us, he won us 2 games, has shown poise under pressure and has proven he is not afraid to hit. As a 2nd year kicker, there is a greater probability that his best years are ahead and his skills and strength can still be coached up a bit. Even healthy, Hall did not have that kind of upside. Yes, Hall is not afraid to lay into the returner, but considering the cost of losing your kicker to injury, maybe a hitting kicker is not such a good idea. If Novak turns out to be good, we should play him without shoulder pads and tell him to run for the sideline right after he kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown 43 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I just don't understand all the Novak love? What has he done in his career? NOTHING? I don't like a kicker problem during the year, this scares me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I don't understand all the Novak hate. Well, because he's an ex-Terp, some of the locals got a hard on for him, which is annoying. Also, the two he missed were blocked. BTW, he won one game for us and lost another (since the difference was the fieldgoal he missed in Denver.) Hall was at least money inside the 40. Novak better be at least that. So, what is Hall's status? Cut? IR? Someone else cut? Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm too lazy to go back and check to see who said what but it would be funny for me atleast to see how many of the "Gibbs can do no wrong" crowd are in love with Novak.Being that keeping Hall over Novak would be a Gibbs decision. This is a non issue as far as i'm concerned, we are trading another average kicker for another average kicker. When healthy Hall is probably better than Novak. None of us are going to be busting with confidence when we need Novak to kick anything beyond 40 yards in a key situation, no matter how much you love him. Ofcourse not, but we arent with Hall either. Look, enough of the pessimism. We're no worse with Novak. If he works out, he could kick for us for the next ten years or more. Give him a chance before you blast him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't kickoff either. When the game is on the line, it's at least nice to have a shot at a 50yder, not to mention all the decent field position we gain with a decent kickoff.

I'm behind Novak 100%, but he couldn't kick off for squat last year. I hope he's improved on that. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hall is no longer money inside the 40. Says who? He's been 100% for the past three years When the game is on the line, it's at least nice to have a shot at a 50yder, not to mention all the decent field position we gain with a decent kickoff. As said above, Novak's kickoffs weren't any better than Hall's last year, and we have no idea if he can kick a 50 yarder in the NFL, since so far he hasn't been asked to. Fact is, Novak is one big, fat, unknown right now. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
