FunBunch7 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sure, he may have been the best kicker WE had in a while, but that is meaningless. EVERY NFL kicker should be automatic inside the 40. Hall was a waste of cap room and continued to hurt us with his injuries. I appreciate nothing. So much for the "appreciation thread" part of things...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborneskins Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I would like to thank John Hall for getting hurt so we can get rid of him and have a good kicker on our roster. Thanks John. If your leg heals up, i suggest you sign with the cowboys. Nothing would make me feel happier than seeing you step on the field for a 40yard FG attempt for the cowgirls. Are you serious? :doh: Wow.

method man Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 What a lot of you fail to realize is that when Hall got here he was a very good kicker. It seems to me that his injuries started because he was making a ton of TD saving tackles due to poor special team coverage. Once those groins etc get messed up it is hard to be 100% especially for a kicker. Good Luck John and thanks for being a good TEAM player. Those tackles are the reason I liked him so much. You just never see many kickers willing to put themselves into those types of situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorfro Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Absolutely! Give the man props. He once was a valuable commodity around here. Too bad his team wasn't when he was at his prime. I also remember Hall covering kicks and saving some touchdowns. He was a tough son of a gun. I definitely appreciate his service to the team and wish him the best in the future. Hope he can get healthy and land somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Ill Appreciate John Hall when he is no longer missing chip shot field goals in a redskin uniform . Come on kid, "John Hall appreciation thread" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Its not like he is Chip Loumiller(I know I spelt that wrong) or something. Hall was excellent for two seasons newb. I came to really appreciate Hall after watching absolutely crappy kickers like Husted, Cortez, "King Tut," and Kimrin.

terpfan Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 It's unfortunate that Hall couldnt stay healthy. He was pretty good when he first came here. But its been a bumpy ride since that first season. I mean, check this out. He made seven 50+ yard FGs his first year here. SEVEN! Makes you wonder what could have been...

Toast20622 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 It looks like Hall's career with us is now over. A lot of Skins fans have short term memories and only remember this season. I, however, remember the first two seasons he was here. In those two seasons, he was the best kicker we had since I started watching the Skins in 99. He was money inside the 40 and he still is. He was also one hell of a tackler for a kicker. It is a shame that his career got derailed by injuries. I wish Hall good luck in his future endeavors. Agree good kicker and good tackler, but some of those tackles may have caused the recurring injuries? He did his job well but injuries and age caught up. I know about injuries and age!!! Injuries don't heal as fast with us older guys :-) But good career John, take time off, totally heal up, and make a come back (but don't kick a winning field goal against the Skins in a year or two). Case in point Morten Anderson, 46 years old, just signed with Atlanta. Good job John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4481 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yea I appreciate that he couldnt make a damn field goal in the clutch if his life depended on it. Last year SD and the playoff game against Seattle come to mind. This year Minnesota and of course the Giants game. Heck even in the Jacksonville game the kick he made almost gave me a heart attack. Yes at one point in his career he was a great kicker but those days are long gone. At one point LaVar Arrington was a monster on the field but he is :pooh: now. Adios Hall.

diesel22 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 He was pretty dependable early in his career -- and I did like his competitiveness. Having said that -- the time for us to part ways has been long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin11 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Goob Bye John, I only remember 2004, 2005, 2006. Good Luck in your future life, hopefully Nick Novak isn't worse than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzSkinsFan63 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Good Luck John...we sure needed you when you got here it sucks things just didn't work out with the injuries. Get healthy and good luck and I hope your not one day talking how you'd like to get even like some who have departed. Best of Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U C S D SkinsFan Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 you won't be missed john hall...you gave the other team great field position on kick-offs and you are always injured. you hit a game winner and maybe even 2, but for the most part, you weren't very clutch. i hope novak turns out to be a steal again, he was solid last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 What the hell does that mean? It was Gibbs' choice to stick with hall through everything. When healthy, Hall was probably one of the best kickers in the game. With a player like that, you try like hell to keep him on the field.Sorry, but the tailspin started long before that kick. Jason heh exactly.. Blame the kicker on losing the game?? Blame the offense of not scoring enough, or the defense from not preventing enough scores.. But it is what it is.. He could have won us the game(I assume minny) but he didn't lose it for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyLight Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 John, I'd appreciate it if you gave me a hundred dollars. That's what I lost because you couldn't hit a sub 40 yarder in Seattle last year. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan080 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I like John as a person, I've met him a couple times and really love the guy.... But as far as appreciating him? I guess I apprecaite the 30 yard feild goal he made for us against the Jets in his first game. Thats the only "big" kick he made for us. Seriously. I honestly think the kick he made vs the Jaguars last week was the second biggest kick he's made in his career. He's cost us a number of games with his leg imo. I'm not saying he has to make them all, but he's made none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
