Zorn presser: Defends Suisham

Agreed, Zorn showed class by not throwing his kicker under the bus. I was mortified earlier this year by Jim Mora Jr. when he placed his teams defeat solely on his kicker.

Yeah, but 23 yards!?!?!?!

He should be thrown under the team bus and backed over a few times.

Zorn on PK Shaun Suisham’s botched field goal: “Decent snap, excellent hold, it was a poor kick.”

I don't see that as defending Suisham.
Neither do I

:confused:
Here is the defense:
"I trust Shaun Suisham…If I had to send him out to do it again, I’d send him out." Zorn says they lost the game as a team and Suisham isn’t cleaning out his locker today. He listed the other mistakes the team made [fumbles, interception, pass coverage] as evidence that the loss cannot simply be blamed on Shaun Suisham.

Yeah, but 23 yards!?!?!?!

Agreed. Nothing more than an extra point. Suisham has now blown two consecutive games on make-able, extremely make-able field goals for a NFL kicker, 39 and 23.

Only thing is, at 3-9, whats the point in doing anything now?

Zorn: “I trust Shaun Suisham…If I had to send him out to do it again, I’d send him out.”

That is absolutely defending Suisham and I am not sure how you muster up trust.

I don't see the defense of Suisham ("poor kick"), especially since Gano is visiting this week, if PFT is to be believed.

Careful, you're entering PFT territory...

I don't have any problem with what Zorn said. If you can't send a kicker out to kick a 23 yarder (even knowing what we know now), you probably shouldn't be a head coach in the league.

I'm no Suisham fan (as a Skins kicker), but it seems like you're really reaching here.

Here is the defense:

What he said was true about all the other stuff that cost us. What should he say I will never trust him again and only send him out on the field when I have no other choice. We have 4 games left and canning him now would do us no good and he has also won several games for us.

if you can't make a 23 yarder you shouldn't be a kicker in this league

Be careful with that logic. ;) Suisham can make a 23 yarder, he just missed one yesterday.

Adam Vinatieri is credited with 9 missed PATs in his career. I assume he wouldn't be good enough for you?
