[quote=skinsfan_nn;768581]COM ON MAN! GANO MUST go....this kid sucks!

I dont give two shits about his practice accuracy or any of his other stats and dats the bitch cant kick worth a shit when it matters on Sunday for 3! Plain and fckn simple.

We havn't had a good clutch field goal kicker in years come the F ON!

Bye Bye Gano[/quote]Well, I think the list of players who suck and must go could get upwards of 15 or 20 if we're being honest with ourselves. And I'm not sure Gano would be on it.

I think Hunter Smith would definitely be released for performance reasons before Gano would. I'd imagine Gano could probably punt better than him, at least.

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

I see that they're tying out good ole Nick Novack among others. Guy has to be the most line drive oriented kicker in the history of football, even on extra points. Everytime he kicked for it I was scared that someone was going to jump up and knock it down. Never knew why I didn't notice it until he played for the Skins.

There was a special some time ago I think 60 minutes and it should the ups and downs of the life of a kicker through the eyes of their family.

It is a pretty nerve raking job to say the least.

Good for him. He's got a ton of talent. He's only 23. He's getting the mental aspect of the game down. He could potentially develop into one of the better kickers in the league IMO, and his kickoffs are beastly.

I think we're going to keep him around. His leg has won us 3 games in OT this year. That's a pretty big deal.

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Yeah i hope we keep him around and think we will. He hasnt had as many kick off's into the endzone as he did at the start of this year but he still kicks pretty far. Also after watching the espn short segment on Boise's kicker i think most kicker are bound to have really really bad days, espicially when their young. Glad we didnt dire him right after his misses, and i hope he continues to get better.

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Mark Mosley wasn't exactly Mr. Automatic in the early going either. No reason not to bring in other kickers and let them push Gano, but no reason to cut him either. Apparently he's going to have plenty of chances to kick game winners in the coming season.

Yeah, young and full of confidence. We might have something here maybe the next great one, he might be ours for the next 20.

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Yea I was reading some of the early post by our Redskins fan experts who wanted to fire Gano. I'm not surprised Redskins fans are so impatient and always looking for the quick fix to win. Wake up haven't we learned that there is no quick fix and short cuts to success. Gano is young and has potental let him learn on the job so when we do improve we have a solid vet kicker.

[quote=warpaint;773523]Yeah, young and full of confidence.

For those who say that he didn't do much, his 48 yarder against the Jags was with a stiff cross breeze where he had to practically hit the ball wide right, and let the wind draw the ball back in. Not an easy kick, especially from that distance, and Gano executed it perfectly.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again -- I am a gano hater and proud of it

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Another bad miss. 30 yard straight on shot, difference in the game. Would be nice the way we through money around on crap players like Fat Albert we would try to find a punter and kicker in the offseason.
