We really need a guy who can consistently put it around the goal line. I saw Sam Swank of Wake Forest earlier this year - that kid has a rocket for a leg. I wouldn't mind bringing in a guy like that for a little competition.

The short kick off was not the problem with that TD it was the players not staying in their lane and over persuing. His short kickoffs mean a shorter field and more yards gained but should not be the reason one is returned.

You know, I said earlier in the season that he would end up costing us a game this year by missing a 45+ yard field goal. Now, obviously, this loss isn't all his fault, and it wasn't a last min FG try that he missed, but obviously the game would have come down to only one more FG...So, I called it (I guess) wooppie!! As I said when I made that prediction he is young, he can become more reliable...hopefully, but he will probably lose a game for us again this year.

i think he's doing just fine, you guys are mad he missed against a hated rival. and who's to say if he hits the long fg that the cowdungs change their game plan and beat the shit out of us. who's to say if we hit that fg the cowdungs run back the KO and then get a turnover right after that??? the kid is doing a great job and if you remember we let a guy named david akers go after one game or so bc he didnt look good.

yeah he missed one, but he also made several key field goals to keep us as close as we were...

I'd hate to give Suisham a lucrative deal before brining in competition next season. He was our kicker by default this preseason, and I also feel that his missed kicks played a role in all 3 division losses this year. He has been decent, but not great in my book, and I repeat from my earlier post in the thread, my biggest hangup is his short kickoffs.
