I knew Shawn Springs had a rep for being brittle but this is just ridiculous. The man should simply not be playing football for a living.

Seems like so much of a kicker's game is confidence. Most of them have the leg to go 49 or so, 50+ is a gift. Suisham seems confident right now, why go and do what we've always done and screw with chemistry and bring in a mercenary who has a horrible season?

Josh Brown has missed plenty of FG's in his career... ~72-75% career is not really that impressive to me, personally. We simply don't know enough about Suisham to know what he may be capable of. Parcells just hates kickers anyway. He's kicking above 88% for us this season so far...

Carter seems like he finally turned the corner, and that makes me somewhat relieved. Too bad it seems like Sean Taylor and the rest of the defense took 3 steps back. That scares the crap out of me. On the bright side, it really cannot get much worse than this next year.

Campbell gives me much joy. I just hope we do not break this kid by continuing to waste his best years.
