Anyone else watching this game? He's missed 2 in OT. 33 and 32 yards. Ridiculous.

LMAO!!!

Have a buddy of mine who's a 'Boys fan. When I kidded him about TO and Vandy, he essentially wanted both of them run out of town on the first bus.

He SUCKS! Okay, all of you Vandy lovers, do want TT to sign him once Parcells cuts him tomorrow????

1) He's injured
2) Billy P is a fucking idiot for kicking the xp with a couple minutes left....
why pay another 15 minutes in the 4th preseason game....this dude is losing his marbles....

[esoxx]

Vanderdrunk's in the zone!

[Joemailman]

Gotta be impressed. It's still the pre-season, and already Vandy is in playoff form.

[MJZiggy]

I wonder who's gonna sign whichever kicker we cut...

[gbpackfan]

He's HURT! That's the excuse! HA HA HA HA. Was he hurt last year in the playoffs? He's losing it! Parcels is not going to have any sympathy.

Billy P was just on NFL Network and he stated that Vander-drunk was NOT injured. He kicked all week and was FINE! Whoops, there goes your theory.

I suppose that (HIC!) bracer before the game didn't help?

Billy P says shit all the time, he just returned from an injury and the color guy on the telecast said he was limping after the XP...haven't check the tivo on that yet, if you were paying attention, you'd have also seen him pull up after that second miss. That I saw clearly.


So because Billy P says it's true you believe every word? This dude plays more mind games than anyone but you instantly fall for it?

[gbpackfan]

Your right, you know more then the head coach. Keep dreaming pal.

I've never seen a kicker get injured so often. He usually gets injured right after he misses important FG attempts.

From this article--interesting stuff

But something beyond consistent kicks has developed this summer. Vanderjagt is nursing sore groin and quadriceps muscles — the other big injury in Dallas' camp — and has missed two preseason games. After working in pregame warm-ups and then scratching himself for game action the past two weeks, it's uncertain if he will kick in Thursday night's preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings.

It leaves Parcells in a tight spot as he ponders moves for the 53-man roster.

Just as he says about Terrell Owens, trying to rebound from a hamstring injury, Parcells says of Vanderjagt, "I've got to see something."

Never mind that Vanderjagt, owner of the NFL record for consecutive field goals (42), has made 217 of 248 career attempts. After meeting with the kicker for a heart-to-heart talk last weekend, Parcells hinted Monday that Vanderjagt's status is murky.

"I'm going to do what is best for the Cowboys," he grumbled. "What opinion anybody else has is irrelevant, because they don't have the facts I have."

A psychological ploy? Maybe, maybe not.

Parcells began camp hoping that in addition to field goals, Vanderjagt would handle kickoffs — which he hasn't done since 2003. But kickoff duty might contribute to the injury and is weighed against using an extra roster spot on a specialist. Punter Mat McBriar doesn't kick off; the other kicker left, Shaun Suisham, was among three who kicked last season.
