The Official Cut Durant Brooks Thread

he can't hold the ball or kick it. this isn't the first week for his antics. but for now we're stuck with him so Let's murder the browns next week plus its a 4:00 game so we can all be nice and drunk and fired up for kickoff.

Give Brooks some time. I mean what if we release he him and he makes 7 pro bowls. I'm just saying I'm not real concerned about Brooks honestly. We have bigger issues.

I don't think anything else needs to be said. Another horrible game from him that directly led to our loss today. Unacceptable.

He certainly didn't help but I wouldn't say he "directly" led to us losing. There were many factors that led to us losing. He was one of many.

Whilst it would be great to give Brooks time, he is hurting us BADLY right now. Just check the stats on NFL.com, in both gross and net punting he ranks 33rd in the league (THIRTY THIRD!!! in a 32 team league!), so not only is he the leagues worst regular punter, but theres been a team thats had 2 better than him! ... and that was before todays nightmare.

Special teams overall scares me, another KO out of bounds from Suisham, A.R.E and his 6.8 punt return avg is not gonna cut it, the poor punting, giving up 2 return TDs already. Rocks play and Suishams FG kicking are bright spots in an area that is sorely lacking them.

we need to cut the punter and the kicker

What? Why cut Suisham? He's been a bright spot all season and made his only attempts this week. Instead of cutting him how about not expecting him to angle his kickoffs or squib them when the KOcoverage unit is playing really well.

suisham is the man,i'd never cut him.eventually brooks will be better.he's not the reason the skins lost today,turnovers are.

Brooks is NOT the reason we lost this game, obviously.

Turnovers are.

Defense was lights out.
Offense was fairly productive and solid without those turnovers.
Punting was horrible.

Can't really fix turnovers, you can fix punting.

33rd punter in a 32 team league is extremely laughable, that's all I'm saying. I'll be the first to congratulate Brooks if he even makes the top 15 of all punters by the end of the year, I just don't see it happening.

I agree about it being a quick fix and Frost getting ran out.

I don't mean to say you're a bad poster, I am bit frustrated with the negativity, and losing doesn't help. My apologies.

No apologies necessary I hate the negativity just as much as you do! I just figured it was about time to address the Brooks issue, mainly because I thought our team was great otherwise!

Our punt/kick coverage was awful all day- Dante Hall had some great returns.

Randle El doesn't look too hot on punt returns either. Suisham

Brooks has been miserable. To say "give him time" doesn't really fly with me. In the NFL you don't get time to develop as a punter. You either do it or you don't. And he isn't. At the very least we need to bring in a few other punters for workouts this week.

Where are all the Brooks apologists now? The kid is bad and they're no excuses left for him anymore. I will give him one more game, basically because there isn't very many other options, to turn it around if not he needs to go.
