It's funny that people have such a short memory around here. Does no one remember that up until Washington signed John Hall, they changed kickers once or twice every season. They lost several games in that stretch because of missed field goals.

What's the point of bringing in competition? They'll bring in someone who'll look solid on the practice field, and be hot for a week or two, then fall off like every other kicker that's signed in the middle of the season, and it'll be back to the drawing board in the offseason. Suisham is 70% on the season. That's not great, but it's servicable. He may just be in a rut, like 90% of the kickers in the league suffer at some point in time. If he misses a few more critical kicks, then by all means, hit the panic button.
