we better solve the problems inthe punting and kicking game also or it could circle the bowl. we are going to be playing a lot of close games next year.
i don't care how much we improve, every nfc east game is going to be a dog fight

Those areas will be addressed, especially punter.

Hall will likely go to camp with some stiff competition.

it usually doesn't work that 2 vet kickers will be brought to camp. i don't see the skins signing peterson or longwell and keeping hall for the competition. that means we get someone like kimrin (i know he is signed elsewhere) or novack (ditto) to give hall a false sense of competition.. unless we sign someone like edinger or bryant, it won't be a realistic competition and then we will settle on hall by default because rookies or inexperienced kickers don't make pressure kicks inthe real season.

i would rather either say hall is the man, or cut him and sign either longwell or vinateri (if parcells hasn't already got him). these competitons are bs..

as for punter, we simply cannot afford to lose the field position battle all winter to the nfc east teams. they need to go after zastudil if possible.. or take rouen as a fall back. we have tried groom and frost and... well you know the difference between a vet like tupa and a youngster. it was like night and day the past 2 years..

A less reliable "source" of mine says DC native and current Falcons K Todd Peterson may want to come here. Skins may not want him though

todd peterson is 37 i believe.. it all comes down to how halls leg is.. i keep thinking it is like conway.. once they start breaking down it is bad news.

if hall is healthy i would rather him over anyone except vinateri or longwell. if he is not, then go for the best guy out there.

Who said anything about a vet going to camp with Hall?

Look for a young (and cheaper) leg to possibly beat him out, but it all depends on Hall's health.

we have been down that path before.. give me a veteran, not a young leg.
