Suisham released, Gano new kicker

Suisham has had bad kick off years in the past, but this year, his kickoffs were one of the only bright spots on our special teams. Of course, if Gano can boot it (and if he can, I'm not sure why he wasn't in the league already), that might continue.

I am starting to wonder is Gano does shitty down the line are we going to nickname him Guano?

18 of 21 on the year is pretty damn good, however the 3 misses were killer, I understand that. The timing is just odd. The team is going nowhere, why not cut him after the season? Maybe this Gano kid is a find... but I have a feeling we can add kicker to the offseason wish list. It just feels like a scapegoat kind of move is all.

Looks like an upgrade to me.

exactly we have had problems with shushi for a while always have competitions in the offseason he wins, but then during games his kickoffs are dreadful and he misses clutch kick

i think getting a new guy in there to see what he can do in real games lis a good move, theres nothing saying this guy will be the answer but give him a shot and see what he has. we really have nothing to lose

it had to be done. kinda like the end of old yeller. except in our case we've been wanting to shoot the fucking dog for 3 weeks and will be celebrating at the local watering hole after the deed is done.

Ahahaha, I know I shouldn't laugh but its amazing he made it to tuesday

I feel bad in the sense that if your going to get rid of one person who made a mistake "supposedly" costing the game then you might as well be fair and get rid of the others as well.


Like that safety that got burned not once but twice for TDs...but you can't get rid of someone you pay all that money for. Seriously though, #30 needs to pick it up and quit throwing himself around recklessly and biting on every double move.

While everyone here is bashing Suisham and glorifying Gano, might I take just a moment to point out that another perennial whipping boy for folks around here had this one right before anyone here saw it coming.


ProFootball Talk had Gano coming in for a workout and some folks did the typical kneejerk to that report and scoffed that PFT would ever get anything right.


OK, back to the Suisham bashing and the canonization of St Graham of Gano ...

Interesting...Suisham actually has the highest percentage of FG's in Redskins history with a minimum of 100 kicks at 80%. 2nd? Chip Lohmiller at 71.4%.
