QuoteOn special teams, Pro Bowl kicker David Akers was back on the practice field and Reid said he could return to kick field goals against the taterskins on Sunday. Jose Cortez, whom the team added last week, figures to handle, at the very least, kickoffs.
:paranoid
I don't quite understand how the "paranoid" face fits in to that one.
Any chance we could resign France and have three injured and mediocre kickers on our team?
For FG's, hmmmmmmmmmm....
Akers, Cortez...
Akers, Cortez...
Akers, Cortez...
Yeah, I'll take Akers.
Personally, I want to see more Simoneau.
If brother Akers isn't healthy enough for kick-offs, I'd rather he didn't kick TGs either. Sounds to me like courting further injury. Take another week and come back when you're healthy, mr. Kicker.

The plan is for him to not do kickoffs anymore this season, even when he's completely healthy, to help prevent another injury. Cortez is going to be on this team for the rest of the season no matter what.

Are you suggesting that someone else's post didn't make any sense?
Well Mr. Smartypants, in that case...I'd still hold the farger out one more week. Let him be well healed before he goes back at it.
But I'm a farging fool, so who cares what I think?
QuoteAkers ready to kick field goals again
By REUBEN FRANK

PHILADELPHIA — David Akers kicked 50 balls yesterday and pronounced himself ready to play football.
Akers, who hasn't kicked in a game since tearing an already injured hamstring against the Raiders on Sept. 25, returned full-bore to Eagles practice yesterday.
"It was a little awkward out there with pads and a helmet on," Akers said. "It felt like minicamp or something. But I felt great."
Akers initially got hurt in the 49ers game on Sept. 18 and tried to kick again a week later against the Raiders. He's been rehabbing since.
Although he did some kicking on the side last week, yesterday was his first work with a full rush in a team practice session.
"I felt great," he said. "It was real windy, but I hit the ball real well. We went right after it. I had a lot of pop on the ball and there was no pain at all. Barring any setbacks, (playing Sunday) is my goal."
Akers, a three-time Pro Bowl kicker, is the fifth-most accurate kicker in NFL history with 82.0 percent accuracy. He only made two of five field goal attempts before he got hurt this year.
Todd France went 6-for-7 subbing for Akers before he was replaced by Jose Cortez, who kicked extra points in Denver Sunday but didn't have any field goal attempts.
Akers has not practiced kicking off and Cortez is expected to stay around at least a couple weeks to handle them.
The Eagles face the taterskins at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
"I'm definitely feeling good," Akers said. "(Today) is a big day for me to see if I'm sore at all, but right now, I'm encouraged."
Sounds a lot like his quotes before the Oakland game........
Doesn't it? Good thing he was okay for that game afterall.
I sure hope he gets to kick alot of TG's

You hope he kicks a lot of transgendered people? Whassamatter, the "girls" of 42nd street dump your dragged-out trick ass for some fresh chicken? :evil :-D
He's making fun of Dio for calling kickoffs "TG's". As if his posts ever make any sense.

Pardon me, I wasn't speaking to you PH. If I was, I would have said Douche Bag first. I will, however, forgive your bad manneans this time.

Yes, and now I'm making fun of
him for talking about kicking TGs. Thanks for ruining the joke, though. :P
Incidentally, I thought
Dio was talking about field goals and not kickoffs but what do I know?

stillupfront you ignorant slut, I have the right to express my opinions to anyone at anytime. Kinda like a heterosexual version of
rjs246. ;)
Thanks for having my back FF. These illiterate nincompoops are always looking to attack me. I am so persecuted.
Does that mean we can drive spikes through your hands and feet? Please?

Your joke was lame. Because he was mocking someone else by using that term. Please don't take my cut on you wrongly as support of stillupfront. He's pretty damn stupid too.
This thread shtein the bed.

Yeah, but why should this one be any different? ;)
Back OT: Does anybody else think it's ironic that Akers is in the opposite situation he was in when he joined the Eagles?

From #2 to #5. He's slippin'.

Not really. That's how kickers come and go. They fill in for a solid guy who started slipping, and take over. Then it happens to them.
Right?
