Better kickers available?

Gmanc711 · 12-06-2009, 05:51 PM

As a moderator, I know right now I shouldnt make a dumb thread like this, but I honestly hate Shaun Suisham that much. I have absolutley loathed this guy since he missed the kick against Seattle in 2007 in the playoffs, and even when he started this season perfect, I knew he was gonna screw us as soon as there was pressure on... and look at it, its December, his kickoffs are only going ot the ten yard line and the he misses big kicks for us... is there ANYONE better out there?

I saw Daseal kick once. He couldn't get it much more than about 10' in the air and didn't have much distance at all, but he's worth a look.

To me it doesn't even matter if there's anyone better. The season is over, right now you cut his ass out of pure spite for costing us one of the biggest wins we could have had all season. Just sign anyone you can right away and really address the problem in the off season. He doesn't deserve to be a redskin.

Um yeah, dumb thread. As much as I want to grill him for the miss, cutting him would be beyond dumb.

Haushcha is available I think. But then again he blew like 2 games for the Ravens. They picked up Billy Cundiff and have been doing worlds better. So. There's gotta be someone available...

Oh I've got it... 2 words.. Nick.Novak.

ME!!! And i'll kick for 200K a year bucket of KFC.

As a high school soccer coach I have a team full of better kickers!

I think Cundiff has had his share of misses too. In fact, he missed one against Indy and the ravens lost that game by 2.

Back on topic, I hate Suisham, and I honestly thought he was going to miss that kick because of the pressure. I would seriously cut his ass right now because of today and the cowboys game, if only to send a message to the rest of the team that if they don't do their job they are gone.

Fuck, I can't believe I'm posting anything today with how pissed off I am.

skinsfaninok · 12-06-2009, 06:01 PM

I say play the rest w/out a kicker seriouslly

Redskin Warrior · 12-06-2009, 06:05 PM

Would it really though? I mean seriously, this guy misses big kick after big kick for us. He made two overtime kicks against Miami and New York in 2007, but other than that, everytime the kick means anything the guy misses it. He's always been good for us in September, October and the first half of November, but as soon as things start to matter later in the season, he misses. Not that today really "matters" per say, but hell, you can't tell me theres not someone out there that wouldnt miss these chip shots at the end of games. I'll take Novak back.

how would it be beyond dumb?
I say cut him,send a message,mistakes will cost you your job.This guy barely made the team this yr,he sucked last yr,and now he's cost us 2 games in 2 weeks.Fuck him,get him the hell out of here

There is a local kid who can kick 60 yarders off a tee. He overweight and completely out of shape since his HS football days from a couple years ago and works as a landscaper. I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to make better than minimum wage!

Redskin Warrior · 12-06-2009, 06:07 PM

I wonder if Zorn blast him like Mora Jr. did his kicker

I'm a Gator. Last night's game already ruined my weekend. Think how I'd feel right now if I hadn't let the Redskins season go about 5 weeks ago? Wow.

As far as Suisham, bad bad miss today, but he's in large part been very accurate all year. To knee jerk cut him wouldn't be smart.
