Do we know anything about Suisham's leg strength?

Suisham played some last year and this year for the Cowboys.

He is excellent at KO - guarenteed touchback. He is a young kicker and has his problems with long distance accuracy.

He is Canadian and used to be an enforcer for his Junior B hockey team. I like him and thought the Cowboys could let him grow with them.

Vanderjagt actually has a higher accuracy rate kicking outdoors than he does kicking indoors.

The problem with him is that he just has a lot to say for a kicker. Add to that he has a problem with his form right now. everything is going right on him. He sneaked a 22 yarder in beside the right upright against Tampa.

If he can get his head straight then he might be a steal. He is not good on kickoffs. He got one or two touchbacks for the Cowboys this year. m Usually his kicks land at the 7-13 yard line.

He will try your patience though. He is cocky and arrogant. You can't be a kicker and be cocky and miss field goals. Not for Parcells, and I imagine not for Gibbs.

If Suisham has that good a leg maybe the skins should sign him and be patient with him. We all still remember how we blew Akers out of town for one miss. Vandy is the better guy for this year maybe but he's also 36 years old and the skins are not exactly in the midst of a super bowl run.

Thanks for the info on Suisham

I really dont' think Vandy is healthy. I heard a report that he's thinking about returning to Canada, and not kicking anymore this year. Maybe if our kicking game does not improve over the next five games, and no one claims him before we get the opportunity, we'll consider signing him for next season. I still think he can be an effective kucker once he's healthy again.

Another ex-49er. What's the scoop Rexi?

[Hog1]

You never know. If you can get him cheap, get him. maybe Parcells has got him all pissed off. he does have a rep for screwing with the kickers!

am I the only one who read this article? the article specifically states WE ARE NOT interested in vandy,which is another bad descision

"The team did not make a waiver claim for Mike Vanderjagt, according to team sources, and do not intend to pursue the kicker who was cut Monday by the Dallas Cowboys."

signing and cutting kickers cant even be compared to signing and cutting other players, no chemistry required for the kicker and most of the time no big salary
