Danny White always gave me a funny feeling, too!

I've always had this wierd suspicion of Vandy that hes purposely trying to take the Cowboys down. Like he hates them and playing for them is his opportunity.

It's one of those things I know is stupid and ridiculous but can't seem to shake.

Adrianna Lima gives me a funny feeling.

He might not have his confidence back. I feel he just needs to make a regular season kick and he will be ok. But, at this rate it may be week 6 before he makes one.

YES ive thought about that too he is trying to just get one more paycheck.

i wouldn't put it past him this guy is a jerk. also kickers have been shown to fade fast i remember when martin gramatica was mr automatica but then he slumped hard and got himself cut.

it just that when any other player is having a hard time they can adapt and do diffrent things better but when a kicker is struggling they simply fail and that causes them to be pushed out

in vandy's case i hope this is just injury stuff cuz we need a kicker badly!

Can't buy that, we have given him 5 million dollars already, we haven't kicked enough FGs (for him to miss) to actually be cut.

CliffnMesquite · 09-01-2006

This explaines what he was doing on the grassy knoll the other day. Ha! And I thought he was just checking out downtown.

wish we had Steve Hoffman still....

Only the Cowboys could take the most accurate FG kicker in history and instantly turn him into a choke artist.

I'm convinced there's a kicking curse over Texas Stadium... and I think Steve Hoffman is the one who hexxed it

seems we made a FG last in 2004 or sumthing..

..seriously...

I don't think this is a money thing whatsoever.

If his injuries were contrived, then this whole ordeal is clearly a confidence thing. He knew he didn't have it in camp and wanted to fake an injury to either give him some more time to improve or to try to hide his lack of production in camp.

whatever "it" is.... I have my doubts that he can just turn "it" on and off at will

So let me getthis straight. Vanderjerk makes 92% of his kicks last year and suddenly he's lost it???????/ Not buying that one.

BTW Faulk was on NFL network and said when he misses he ALWAYS misses right, sometimes hed correct it right away, sometimes he wouldnt. Said thats how it was his first year in Indy and still is that way

First, he looks shaky all through the early preseason. Then, much to Parcells surprise, Vandy pulls himself right before the Saints kickoff. Parcells insisted after that game that he hadn't been injured but just pulled himself.

Finally, he only kicks in the final game when he absolutely HAS to.

Now for my conspiracy theory:

Vandy KNOWS he doesn't have it anymore. This whole pre-season has been a big stalling tactic for him to hide this fact so he can assure himself of being on the opening day roster so this year's contract is guaranteed.

Any takers?

Vandy is still a good kicker and is going to be fine. But if we are talking about a conspiracy theory, how about this one. The night Vandy has to kickoff he misses 2 field goals. He has already let it be known that he does not like kicking off, could he be trying to get out of it?

who would take him?
