Billy Cundiff's stay with the #Redskins lasted just 5 games. His touchback percentage (65) was higher than his field goal percentage (58).

I like how he's quick to kick too.. One step, and bam.. 51 yards

Excellent! Hopefully we'll just need him for extra points! ;-)

After are week 1 victory, if you had told me we'd spend this much time talking about a kicker in just one month, i wouldnt have beleived it.

Overall, i dont think our team will end the year with a significantly better record than last year. Its just more exciting to watch us lose.

Okay I know nothing about this guy but why wasn't he picked up by somebody else.

I would guess because he can't kick it out of the back of the endzone. They said he is a awesome punter too.

Can Rocca convert over to kickoff duties? Not sure how much of a leg he has for touch backs.

i forgot the punting part, he did have a 55 yard punt against us in preseason. but the totals that game were 6 punts, 34.7 avg. forget that 55 yarder, that's a 30.6 avg, maybe just a little shy of "awesome".

You knew it was coming. Cundiff should have made those kicks, especially the ones in Tampa. The Redskins should have put up 30 points in that game. Then he stinks it up at Fed Ex Field the other day. Even the kick Cundiff made against the Bucs to win the game was just inside the upright so he could have easily missed that kick too. It was time for Cundiff to go. He wore out his welcome.

"Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed Forbath for the Queen of Spain on April 17, 2012. He was subsequently annexed by Spain on May 23, 2012. On July 12, 2012, Forbath's pelvis declared itself a sovereign nation. Currently, the Untied Nations does not recognize Forbath's pelvis' independence."

Now that's funny. Wikisatire.

I would rather have signed a veteran
He's just another Gano

Gano was pretty darn good, so if Korbath is as good as Gano but without whatever "issues" caused Shanahan to dislike him, then i think we'll be in good shape.... certainly better off than where we were.

None of the veterans were even remotely appealing. Mare and Longwell are both like 300 years old and neither could kick the dust off their own feet. I'd much rather go with a highly touted young guy like Korbath who has upside than veterans whos best days are behind them for a 100 percent certainty.
