Giving props...

I have this growing fear that Kai's first miss will be a chip shot that would have launched us into the playoffs.

Please don't make Forbath out to be Eddie Murray. Forbath is not incompetent enough to miss an easy 19 yard FG with a playoff birth on the line. If he did he would become the most hated man in Washington. He's not going to choke like Cundiff did against the Patriots in last seasons AFC title game. Forbath is the real deal.

Every kicker is that "incompetent." Even the best kickers miss gimme kicks sometimes.

Anxiety fostered by years of ineptitude. I have the same feeling and have to continually remind myself that history doesn't affect the current. Just because our past kickers have been bad doesn't mean Kai will end up bad. This is what it is like to have a team worth something. Constant fear and loathing of sports tragedy.

I sure was, he has been a nice addition and turned it around after his bonehead game against the Rams.

It would be nice to have a mulligan on that whole game.

Forbath seems to have nerves of steel to go along with a big and accurate leg. 9 of his 14 kicks have come from 40+. Nice.

Eventually he's gonna miss, just a fact of life.

:hater:

Smith did not bench him, was over his head

...and by over his head. He means Snyder.

Not my words

Let's continue to give props. I want to give props to Kai Forbath for beginning his Redskins tenure in such a professional fashion. I just watched a DVD of the final preseason game this year against the Bucs and Forbath was punting for the Bucs. He had this hidden talent to boot FGs for all of this time and yet he was under the radar until he worked out for the Redskins.

Dallas kept him on IR for a year because they thought alot of him. He lost out to Connor Barth in TB - who has a damn good leg also. He wasnt really under the radar i just think there was no openings for him. We were really fortunate that this guy was sitting out there. Really fortunate.
