If he hits that kick, we are not sweating like that at the end. Tough miss. One more like that, and we start brining in competition, IMO.

He started off strong but he hasn't been kicking well as of late. I think they should bring in some competition for him, I really wish we could find just one consistent kicker.

Bring back Novak!

Haha. No, but seriously I think Suisham is about as consistent as it's gonna get. Best keep him around till at least the end of the season.

And he just jogs off the field with no emotion like that is what he meant to do.

What's he supposed to do, throw his helmet and kick the bench? He missed it and he knows it. Like the saying goes, you cant let the opponent see you sweat.

The hooks are coming from trying to kick too hard instead of just swinging his leg. Kind of like hooking a golf ball.

I love it when we get on players for not acting upset enough.

Like it would really accomplish anything if he threw a tantrum.

I think our kicker stinks.

To miss a 41 yarder that badly yesterday is unacceptable. That should have cost us that game and maybe our season. That kick from Rackers goes in we're screwed!

How are you certain he wasnt pissed? I suspect he was really pissed but kickers (like baseball pitchers) have to maintain their poise and cool.

Re: Is Our Kicker Doing A Good Job??

I think more importantly yesterday were his kickoffs. I think only 1 kickoff was inside the 10 yard line! I don't know if that was schemed, but it certainly wasn't what I was seeing in earlier games with most of his kicks going inside the 5 and into the endzone.

Re: Is Our Kicker Doing A Good Job??

Wow. Simply wow. Are we sure the Skins won yesterday?

Suisham has 10 total attempts this year, hitting what he should (5-6 inside 40) and you're bagging him because he missed one kick. There is only one kicker who is perfect FG wise on the season (Jay Feely), and you have veterans like Jeff Wilkins, Rackers, Mare who are having off years.

He'll get it straightened out. Let him miss 2 or 3, and let him miss a GW kick, and we'll talk. Until then, he's doing an adequate job, so let's leave it at that. Bringing in competition at this point is pointless.

Interesting.

Why didn't they bring in any competition for him in camp if he's so bad and the coaches know it?

Re: Is Our Kicker Doing A Good Job??

It's funny that people have such a short memory around here. Does no one remember that up until Washington signed John Hall, they changed kickers once or twice every season. They lost several games in that stretch because of missed field goals.

What's the point of bringing in competition? They'll bring in someone who'll look solid on the practice field, and be hot for a week or two, then fall off like every other kicker that's signed in the middle of the season, and it'll be back to the drawing board in the offseason. Suisham is 70% on the season. That's not great, but it's servicable. He may just be in a rut, like 90% of the kickers in the league suffer at some point in time. If he misses a few more critical kicks, then by all means, hit the panic button.
