Cundiff hopefully just had one bad game. However if he misses more than 1 kick next game. His ass is grass, kick him out of here!

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

I don't know that either Rackers or Gano is an upgrade or downgrade over Cundiff. They are all about the same despite having different strengths/weaknesses.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

as a kicker, i say keep him. as a redskins fan, i say keep him.

if he wets the top bunk again, then start sniffing around the hamper for the cleanest dirty shirt.
on a gano note, was he ever seen practicing kicking over a "wall"? something like 12 ft high, about 8 yds in front of him. his trajectory has room for improvement. he did nail that 59 yarder once upon a time

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

I'm of the mindset that if you were going to cut him after one poor game (in which he made the winning kick anyway) then you shouldn't have signed him in the first place. There's a fine line between arrogance and loyalty. On the one hand, you could say Shanahan is being arrogant. On the other you could say Shanahan needs to show his players he's loyal to them even through mistakes.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

Lovin Cundiff work on kickoffs. Gano had multiple kicks out of bounds resulting in the starting spot of the 40 last year, thats insane. Cundiff getting more touchbacks as well.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

Debating whether to have Gano, Rackers, or Cundiff on your team is like debating on which flavor of turd you want to eat. Chocolate, Strawberry, or Raspberry. Does it matter? It's still a turd and tough to stomach.

I dont see why people are still giving love to Gano {not you} but Rackers cant get any?
From everything I read in preseason and training camp,Rackers was outkicking Gano,but then they cut Rackers?
Looking at fg percentage,Rackers is clearly above the other 2,especially over the last 3 yrs

Good point. Gano's kickoffs to row 4 (behind the players bench) we're infuriating.

Tbh, that was all Danny Smith. He kept wanting Gano to corner kick it believing our coverage teams would hopefully force other teams to start at the 19 3/4 yard line instead of the 20 yard line. Starting the other team at the 19 3/4 yard line once and starting at the 40 yard line 5 times was considered a success to DS. Dont know why, but he seems to think anything is better than the other team starting at the 20, even if its past the 20.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

I don't see arrogance in sticking with Cundiff. Is it really good football sense to cut your kicker when there aren't any better options out there? What do you do... bring back Gano and cut him when he goes 1/4?
