| re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers I remember Rackers for setting a record by going 40 for 40 with the Cardinals back in the day, but he hasn't done anything much since then. I'm all for competition though, hopefully this will bring out the best in either him or Gano. |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers You're right, looking at those stats he certainly seems solid to me. He didn't even go 40 for 40 back in the day either, it said he went 40 of 42. I guess the record I was thinking of was most field goals made in a season? Idk but either way, solid signing. |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers Honestly though I think we keep forgetting how bad the special teams' line play was last year, Gano had 5 blocks and most if not all of them were the result of the lines' inability to block, along with holder issues. I hope we get that shored up this offseason. |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers Only 15 touchbacks last year vs 32 for Gano... Per Keim on Twitter. Wonder if they could keep both guys? |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers If you can keep Banks as a return specialist, then maybe they cut Banks, keep both?

Even though Banks was not as successful last year as he was the year before, he is still dangerous - especially as a punt returner for field position (and kick returner if he takes it out). | |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers Speaking of special teams and their play. Why does Danny Smith get a free pass? BTW I like this signing none the less.

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers Tremendous signing, major upgrade in accuracy, no material dropoff in leg strength. |

Rackers achieved touchbacks on 43% of his kickoffs, Gano achieved it on 41%. Bye bye, Graham. | |

| Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers Glad to see we signed a vet...I don't understand the need to groom a young kicker...I'd rather have one that's been around....and now with the kickoffs so short...that favors older more accurate kickers with shorter range...no need to keep an extra kicker just for kickoffs...that seems a major waste of a roster spot to me
