Re: shaun suisham may be in trouble
Although I hate getting ex-cowboys, they did draft a very strong kicker, who apparently may unseat Folk, unless they carry two kickers. If Folk were released, I would go against my personal bias, and hope the Skins grabbed him up.

I think it is more likely that the Cowboys will: a) cut Buehler as a wasted draft pick or b) have Buehler suck up a roster spot simply to do kickoffs

Re: shaun suisham may be in trouble
Honestly, at this point, if its an even competition, I want to go with Rayner. I've had enough of Sushiam at this point. Maybe I'm still really bitter from that miss against Seattle in the playoffs, I dont know, but I've absolutley had enough of the guy.
He always starts out the season on a roll, booming kickoffs, has nice distance on feild goals. He could still be a little bit more accurate, but he overall is serviceable. Than about week 7-8, I dont know if its the continuous stress on the leg, or the weather changing, or what, but he becomes a total liability. We pretty much cannot attempt a feild goal over 40 yards with the guy. God forbid we ever make the playoffs with him as our kicker and get into feild goal range between 40-50 yards, he doesnt even have the leg to get it to the crossbar. Its almost a 0% chance sometimes. I know he kicked two game winners in OT in 2007 vs Miami and NYJ, but the bad heavily outweighs the good for me... I dont know. I havent seen Rayner, I would suspect Shuisham still wins this job, but I really hope to see Rayner really push the guy, and if it ends up being even, all things considered, I want to go with Rayner.

Re: shaun suisham may be in trouble
Danny Smith makes it clear the kicking competition is wide open, and hangtime on kickoffs is considered one of the criterions for deciding the winner in an article by John Keim in the Washington Examiner today.
