Why is Hall's range suddenly below 50 yards?

Novak doesn't have the leg to be a consistent long fieldgoal threat kicker in this league. I think if he was so great like a bunch of us seem to think he'd have caught on with someone. He is a stop gap kicker who is great when your number 1 guy is down but he isn't an answer a kicker. Hell if Hall is healthy he is a quality kicker. He may not be as regarded as others but he is at least consistent. I imagine his past leg injuries may have hampered him abit. The question is whether he can fully heal and stay healthy. I'd guess not. We need to examine other options in the off-season as a precaution. Novak is not a real option.
