I'd say thats true if we didn't keep loosing games by 3 points with missed chip shot FG.

Prater or Longwell, we need someone more dependable

Redskins Insider - Graham Gano says misses are a matter of technique

Gano seems to think it's a matter of technique that can be corrected.

He's hardly going to say:
"The misses are because I am not good enough to be a starting kicker"

Well the suggestion was made that it might be mental, but he thinks it's mechanics. It's obvious the talent is there.

Sure, he's got a big leg, and you don't make it to this level without having some skills.

Technique my arse!

He looks like hes shaking like a hound dog crapping a peach seed every time he lines up to kick a fg or extra point for that matter. I probably would be to though, but geeze louise make a fg crying out loud! Confidence is all he needs

I'd give Gano a very committed second chance next year. He has a lot of promise but he needs to deliver with it. Bring in a serious competitor with experience and make him show in training camp he can handle the pressure. It'd be nice too if they could get him a holder and keep him. Switching up mid-year probably wasn't helpful.

Couldn't we say that about anyone who makes it into the NFL? The only thing he has done this year to impress me was making to kicks in overtime. Problem is that I think the only reason we were in overtime was because he had missed a kick.

I really think that with some competition he would preveil. I really think if we let him go, he goes somewhere and becomes an probowler i.e. David Akers

I say we keep him. It's not like we can't cut him if he falters

The Akers argument is getting kind of old. We've released plenty of kickers that didn't go on to have a career like him. I'm not saying it wouldn't/couldn't happen but it's sure as hell not certain.
