While Vanderjerk was a big choker he was head and shoulders better than Specs. Even with his bad year in Dallas he stilled retired as the most accurate kicker in NFL history (now 7th).

Michael Badgley

Brian Johnson
Austin Jones
Josh Lambo
Chase McLaughlin
Matthew Wright

Why not bring in someone who's accurate like Badgley, and if we need a bigger leg for kickoffs and long FGs bring in a kickoff specialist like we had for awhile under Dungy? Sucks to do that, but if they were any good they'd both contribute more than Banogu.

Still, I will never forget that kick in Denver with the snow.

Pretty obvious who will be signed, but I like having the kid for competition and future prospection.

Same. That night there was so much celebration on the RATS board that I finally became a poster rather than a long time lurker.

Once again..,.the greatest GM in the history of mankind, left the team with a mediocre kicker that cost us winning the first game of the season!:rolleyes:

This is a lot like what happened w/ Eason last year. They all knew he wasn't good enough, but only brought in a long term project to compete w/ him. Then what do you know: the first winnable game we have and we need Eason to come in at the end of the game. And of course instead of doing anything remotely good he shits the bed.

Ballard's a great talent evaluator, but he at times gets too sentimental w/ some players and his player succession plans leave a lot to be desired.
