Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!
 

Going back the Chris Russell thing talking about Gano being openly religious played a part. Here is a twitter exchange that clarifies what he said.
[B]
T Mullick ‏@TMM75
Listening to @ESPNRadio980's post game audio from Sunday and @Russellmania980 really said Gano's religious leanings are what got him cut?


Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980
@TMM75 @ESPNRadio980 That's not true, but u can walk away thinking that if u choose to believe that.


T Mullick ‏@TMM75
@Russellmania980 @ESPNRadio980 Just trying to understand what you were trying to say.


Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980
@TMM75 @ESPNRadio980 - I was asked if there were any other reason besides just performance. So I answered what I believe to be true. [/B]



Also, another gem stat:


[B]Dan Steinberg ‏@dcsportsbog

If the Skins axe Cundiff by Sunday, they'll be on 19 kickers since 1994. NFL avg is about 8.5. No other team above 13. [url=http://wapo.st/OQLjgB]Redskins lead the NFL in kicking changes[/url]

Looks like we have Josh Brown, Olinde Mare, and Kai Forbath are trying out today.

Some stats thrown out by CR this morning.


[B]Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980
PK Josh Brown is a career 80.9% in terms of FG accuracy, His % went from 84.6% to 75 % from '10 to '11, Fisher (STL) or Ryan (NYJ) said no.



Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980
Olindo Mare is 39 (22-28) last year w/ CAR, 78.6% with 84 kickoffs, & 53 touchbacks (new rules). In '10, was (25-30, 83.3%) (72 KO, 20 TB)


Chris Russell ‏@Russellmania980
Per @NFL .com - PK Josh Brown had only 15 touchbacks on 54 KO's in '11, while playing in a dome at home (STL). In '10, 73 KO's & 5 touchback

[QUOTE=htownskinfan;950616]And another kicker that couldn't beat out Gano lighting it up for texans
Graham stunk it up for us last yr
Has there ever been a kicker that left the skins and didn't get a job somewhere else?
Gano doesn't count

Novak and suisham both had horrible years after they left.

[quote=Chico23231;950737]What? take a look at his stats. dude also had a propensity to kick the ball out of bounds on kickoffs. Clearly if he was consistent he would be here.

We finally need to address this in the offseason.[/quote]


I agree with BHA that he wasnt as incosistant as some people think he was, at least in 2011. He was 31 out of 41 with 5 being blocked. If all his blocks were made he would be 88%, although some of the kicks may have been missed and some of the blocks may very well be his fault. No excuse for kicks out of bounds though.

I think why people liked him is that he is a young kicker with a very strong leg that was getting better. He also owns the Redskins record for longest field goal. I liked him because he broke his back and kept playing and made a FG. I thought that was pretty sweet. Maybe not Trent Williams bone bruise im proving myself and need to let everyone know tough, but still tough nonetheless.....

I always thought Mare had a bit of a noodle leg. Not a lot of strength but accurate.

I could be totally wrong... Considering he's been out of the NFL for.. Oh, I dunno... About 2 years?

[QUOTE=mredskins;950699]Dude can you lose that quote or put it under the quote line? It is annoying; it shows up on Taptalk too. I am tired of reading it; thinking it is part of your post.[/QUOTE]

I like it. Think about it. It is very true. :)

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!
 

Forbath to me sounds worth a shot.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!
 

I'm hoping we go with Brown or Forbath. I liked what people here were saying about him a few pages back. Go young!

I agree 100%. With Brown and Mare we know what we'd be getting.

I'm 95% positive it's going to be Brown
