Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

REDSKINS4ever · 10-02-2012, 08:39 PM

I don't consider Cundiff amongst the best NFL kickers. He's had problems throughout his career making long range kicks. I was surprised by how Mike Shahanan gave him the job after Graham Gano had won it fairly in training camp/preseason. Let's hope Shanahan's decision to release Gano in favor of Cundiff doesn't come back to bite us later on down the road.

While it is well known that BC is not the >50 yard Juggernaut. His accuracy under that is formidable.....only not last Sunday...

How could we ever say that it did. I was a big Gano fan (yo Gano), but seriously even if Cundiff missed. how would anyone be able to rue the fact that Gano wasn't kicking. He had not developed that much of a consistency to make us confident he would make one BC missed.

You're absolutely right about that. I just feel Gano would have made that 57 yarder, seeing as though he made a 59 yarder last season versus San Francisco.

People sure have a short memory when it comes to Gano.

Cundiff needs to be cut at half time. Time for Gano to return.

NC_Skins · 10-07-2012, 02:30 PM

Hail yes!

He should clean out his locker at half-time.

Time for a new kicker and time for our f*cking offense to stop stalling in the opponents territory and settling for FGs.

Two things:

1) Funny how week 1 Cundiff is 4-4 making field goals left and right and everyone here is "Wow we found our Kicker!" "Glad the Ravens got him!" to this past week "Cut this guy!!!" "We should have know after he missed that kick for the Ravens!!"

2) IF, and this is a big IF, Rex Ryan is fired this year, I think we should hire him the same day he is fired. Because I can really see the jets as a bottom 5 team this year.

Great idea, one that I have thought of already as well. Shanny would never go for this idea, he has to have a "yes" man on his coaching staff and he couldn't tame Ryan.

hooskins · 10-02-2012, 11:59 PM

I've always been a gano backer but he was never Mr consistent. As many have said lets call it 1/3 and hopefully the misses are out of his system. No need to think competition already.

REDSKINS4ever · 10-03-2012, 12:06 AM

Billy Cundiff is definitely on the hot seat now. Not saying he would have been cut had he missed that last FG attempt, but that 1/3 outing still makes him appear suspect whether he made the game winning kick or not.

los panda · 10-03-2012, 12:14 PM

on the gano note: anyone who has attended a redskins practice, or seen a redskins practice,
did gano ever practice kicking over the "wall", roughly 12 ft tall and about 8 yds in front of the kick?

CRedskinsRule · 10-07-2012, 02:38 PM

That third down should have been converted and no fg try even needed. that said, Cundiff needs to make it when he is on the field.
