Bucket 09-18-2011, 09:44 PM Apparently Gano should have kicked it so hard that the pure force drove Cambell through the goal posts along with the ball.
Now if he does that.. We should squib all kickoffs. We could take out opponents like bowling pins.
NC_Skins 09-18-2011, 09:47 PM thank you!! There are no other available kickers as good as gano and he is getting better. We finally found a good kicker and people want to cut him for who? Mortensen? Yepremian? Stenerud?
shane graham!!!
:doh:
rbanerjee23 09-18-2011, 10:20 PM Lol, so much anger -- dude sucked last season and has not played well this season. He missed a field goal last game as well -- the title of the threads is misleading, I doubt you could find a replacement for Gano -- that being said, when he lines up for a 30 yarder, how many of you are confident that he'll make it. You could say the same for most kickers across the league.
Can we at least agree that he is well below average? and geez, calm the f down, its the warpath where way stupider things have been said.

Doesn't that sound like a Madden add on that we'll be able to buy soon.
artmonkforhallofamein07 09-18-2011, 10:33 PM Not only is it a retarded bump, but it's a retarded arguing point. Some of you kids don't get the fact his FG was blocked, not missed due to him shanking it or hitting the upright. Not sure why you guys are foaming. The guy won us the damn game. Really, some of you fools need to start smoking weed, get laid, take a few shots or 20 and chill the hell out. News flash: WE WON! We are 2-0 and won a game today we normally would have lost.
Agree completely, NC. Just left NC to head back down to SC btw. Was in the Concord area, daughter's 1st BDAY!
The question isn't how many kicks Gano made or missed, the question is whether or not there is a better free agent kicker. If there is, then the Skins are remiss in not signing him; if there isn't, the Skins shouldn't cut Gano. Regardless, there seems to be this prevailing attitude that there are a plethora of un-signed kickers who never miss a FG below 45 yards sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.
It's easy to say "Gano has to go" every time he misses a FG (which unfortunately factors into the annoying belief of idiots that arguments that rhyme are logically superior to arguments that don't); it's much harder to recommend an actual available kicker. I'd love for the Skins to cut Gano and replace him a kicker who never misses a FG, I just don't know who that guy is, and until I find out I'm not going to recommend we cut a guy who just kicked a game winning field goal.
Mechanix544 09-18-2011, 10:53 PM mark my words, he will be directly responsible for at least 2 losses this year, and some of these tunes will change. We barely lucked out today, so everyone is chill about it. Ok, cool beans,but just wait until we lose one on behalf of his "booming leg". I hope it doesnt happen, but i just dont like playing russian roulette when it comes to routine length field goals all the damn time. tis a shitty feeling when u cant count on easy points a team is supposed to have. today, it didnt change the end result. It did change the dynamics of the game, but until he is DIRECTLY responsible when there is no time left for the other players to make plays and bail his ass out, i dont think there will be such an outcry in redskins land to oust him. like i said, i hope it never comes to that, guess i am just pessimistic. We've waited so long to put a good squad together with a new GM, coach, coordinators, defensive scheme, quarterback, young players, kick returner, etc.........and a shitty kicker almost got in the way both weeks from us getting a L instead of a win. Its an additional something, on top of the opposing squad, that this team shouldnt have to overcome.
*crosses my fingers*

Fine. I understand. So whom should we get to kick instead?

So if he doesn't cost us any games this year, will you agree to never post again?
Some of you guys are amazing. I think your major beef should be with Danny Smith (coach of STs). All the penalties on kick coverages, block field goal, and missed FGs last year as well. His special teams has been anything BUT special during his tenure here. So far, Gano has missed one field goal last week and made 3 this week. (one being game winner) Give the guy at least till the mid season before you start calling for the "CUT GANO" crap.

Congrats!! Been to Concord a many of times during my trips to the Queen city.
