Vanderjact
 

just heard on the news
it looks like Mike Vanderjact may be our new kicker. Kind of surprising since another news channel was quoted as saying he was a "long shot" At least the f.o and coaches are not wasting any time. So long Mare!
Who's next????

Re: Vanderjact
 

If they do sign him, at least we don't know what he'll do or what success he'll have. We do, however , know what Mare will do.............MISS!

Re: Vanderjact
 

Every decent kicker has a shot in our camp. If he shows up and is consistently putting them through, he may have himself a new job. Mare has made us thankful for the little things - like 3's. I had gotten burned out on 3's under Mora (Mortan Anderson hardly ever missed). What I wouldn't do for some 3's right now! Most kickers have good/bad days, and go into slumps. Mare is in a terrrrrrrrible slump, and he's hurt, and we can't wait for him to get out or get better. "You never know what your going to get with a box of chocolates..." I hope the new box is sweet.

Re: Vanderjact
 

god help us all if we don't get a sweet one

Re: Vanderjact
 

I hope we get him. If we did Ill sing a good song for Mare. It goes like this. Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye. Come on everyone sing along with me.

Re: Vanderjact
 

The only thing i'll miss is his ability to kick it out of the end zone. I think that was the big thing about him anyway.
we need all the field position help we can get.

Re: Vanderjact
 

It's about time Mr. V at least won't lose us any games and he can kick indoors that's why he didn't make it in Dallas no airconditioning. He'll be fine with us

Re: Vanderjact
 

I've got a couple of thoughts here:

1. Vanderjagt got cut because he was so terrible didn't he?

2. If anybody was at the game, hear me out, if we had asked that guy who won the field goal contest before the game to suit up, we would have won last Sunday.

3. I haven't seen Mare kicking balls out of the back of the end zone, so please, let's stop giving him credit for anything but sucks .

Re: Vanderjact
 

Vandy was the MAN among boys for a while as far as kickers go.

If we did happen to sign him, lets give him a try and see if he can't regain some of his old form. I don't see how it could hurt - anything is an improvement at this point over Mare.

Re: Vanderjact
 

Yeah he sucks . I was only pointing out that his hype was his big leg..and i did see a few go out the end zone in earlier games. Still not enough to keep him. Just don't want someone that will only kick to the openents 10 yard line on kickoff either.

Re: Vanderjact
 

Hey, if he hits 50%, he's better than Mare.

Re: Vanderjact
 

I seen the Mare kickoffs and I was not very impressed. Yes, he does kick some out of the end zone, but just like his field goals, he gets very little height on them. If a guy gets a clean catch on one of his kickoffs that go about 5 yards deep in the end zone, that guy has a great chance at bringing it out to the 30. Want to eventually see a guy take a 107 yard kickoff return for a TD against the Saints, then let Mare keep kicking them. It will eventually happen.

Re: Vanderjact
 

He is at field goals, as I am at driving a golf ball. I can hit it 300 yards, but I won't promise which way it'll go.

Mike Vanderjagt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Go give that a read. He is the most accurate kicker in NFL history and he was 100% on FGs and PATs for the season when Payton had 49 TDs. He ran his mouth a lot and missed a few crucial kicks in the Playoffs, but the talent is there. Can he keep his head straight?

Re: Vanderjact
 

I'm not worried about keeping the head straight, just the field goals. LOL
