I can hit from 35, 40 yards. perhaps i should call the Eagles for a tryout...however, I doubt they'll sign a 320 lb kicker. djnemo65 10-26-2005, 11:40 AM This is wonderful. You guys remember when Cortez was the kicker for SF a couple years ago and he missed all those potential winners inside 30 yards? I think he missed two chipshots at the end of a game against SD - something like that. Supposedly he took some time off to change his kicking style, coming back this season rejuvinated, but it looks like he might have needed to get a valium prescipription from a sports psychologist as well. One thing that has always amazed me is how difficult it is to find 32 guys at one time in the entire world who can consistently kick a ball through a target. I mean, I know its harder than it looks and everything (so says my dad who was a kicker in college) but there's a lot of people in this world. Alot of soccer players who maybe aren't fast enough for the big leagues. I could imagine someone signing some fat Brazilian goaly who can bomb then from 60+, and he becomes the Antonio Gates of Kickers. Just a thought...

FRPLG 10-26-2005, 02:12 PM so that makes 3 nfc east teams. think he'll go for the quadfecta? firstdown 10-26-2005, 02:52 PM I am starting to think we should hold on to both our kickers thoughout the season just to keep them away from the other teams in the NFC East.I think with the leg problems Hall has had over the past year we have to keep to kickers and it will intresting to see what happens at the end of the season. Bozzy 10-26-2005, 03:14 PM What do the Eagles have against the French? runs away mooby 10-26-2005, 04:01 PM It's just like the Eagles to take the rest of the NFC East's garbage. Dirtbag 10-27-2005, 01:27 AM We should start Hall, and put NOvak ont he practice squad in case Hall gets hurt again. Luxorreb 10-27-2005, 06:09 AM I'm happy to carry both kickers for the rest of the season. Unfortunately if Novak goes to the practice squad he'll probably get an offer to play somewhere, perhaps PHILI. If Novak continues to kick well maybe we'll trade Hall in the offseason for a worthwhile player. But let's not go there. Hall and/or Novak better than Cortez hands down!
