I think it will send the message that H...it ain't happnin' for you here. I need to get some boys in here and run em' through some paces under live fire to see if we can find some answers....THIS season that will benefit us next season.
Do you see some sinister Mike "the axeman" Shannihan thing here?

The funny thing is, when we cut Sushiam last year he was the scapegoat and the guy we brought in was Gano, "to give another guy a look." He has gone on to lead the NFL in missed field goals. Fail.

Hopefully we have better luck with this guy, but probably not.

With mounting holes of talent in this team, Id like us to address the kicking/punting game finally. With the endless resource of money we pay for worthless talent in the past and present (albert), why not put this into special teams with a solid kicker and punter? Id think it would help the situation. It would be nice to have at least one area this team solid.

I know every hole is important to fill and make better if we can, but I feel like as long as the OLine, DLine, are glaring needs, as well as pretty much every other position except TE, we need to work on those first. Think about how many plays a game your offense and defensive players are on the field versus Teams. Yes, Teams is important, but there's no point in having top players there if you have shit lines and nothing good going for most of your other positions.

Yeah, im not saying this is the priority over O or D lines, but look at the wasted expenses...a good kicker and punter in free agency are not that expensive. Your bang for your buck is better and worrying about fitting in to your system is not an issue.

It would be nice not to having a constant revolving door at the Punter/Kicker positions.

Redskins Will Set Punting Record in 2010 -- NFL FanHouse

the last paragraph....

Over the next 15 seasons, Washington used 17 kickers with only Suisham sticking around long enough to even try 70 field goals. Suisham, whose blown 23-yard chip shot to the same end zone at which Gano missed from 24 last Sunday cost the Redskins a huge upset of unbeaten New Orleans and then his job last December, is now with Pittsburgh for whom he has yet to miss.
