Re: Is Our Kicker Doing A Good Job??

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.

I was hitting the panic button yesterday when he missed that chip shot up 14-6. No excuse for that. Ball missed by 20 yards EAST!!!

He's shown signs of developing a hook. Not good. When I have the hooks, I try not to swing so hard. Just a thought in case Danny Smith is a reader.

On kickoffs, I think he's either nursing something or they're purposely kicking high short ones for coverage reasons. At any rate, he's showed a stronger leg in the past on kickoffs, so I wonder.

That's like saying Pamela Anderson is hot when she's not a trashy skank.
