Ok, Folk may have those qualities based on one kick on Monday Night Football - which was the REGULAR SEASON. What about the kicks that Suisham made in OT on first down in the first game - you think that is not a pressure kick from 46 yards on FIRST DOWN in OVERTIME?? You think kicking 5 field goals in a game in which the Redskins could not score TD's is not pressure. You think that going 8-8 down the stretch including 3 -3 in nasty conditions in NY (also a 50 yarder) where the Redskins were basically in playoff conditions the last four games. Heck, the Cowboys have had the division locked up for a while. Folk has not had a real pressure kick - what ONE THIS YEAR. So I think that according to your standards, he has made pressure kicks in the last four games of the season in which it really was do or die (PLAYOFF SITUATION) for the Redskins. Suisham has had to bail out the team when they could not score TD's. Folk has not had to do the same for the Cowboys who have had the ability to score more. As far as missing kicks in front of Parcells, cmon. What were you counting his stats in warm-ups. Besides - according to you it matters what you do in the game or playoffs not the regular season let alone WARMUPS?? And I think you must admit, Parcells handled that whole kicking situation ridiculously. How many kickers in the League would have flourished under that situation. I would be a betting man that if Folk came in with those exact same conditions, he would have been affected as well. So we seem to keep going in circles. WHY CAN"T YOU ADMIT THAT SUISHAM HAS MADE PRESSURE KICKS AND HAS SHOWN POTENTIAL. ARE YOU BASING EVERYTHING ON ONE MISSED KICK IN THE PLAYOFFS THAT WHILE WAS A MOMENTUM FACTOR WAS NOT A GAME WINNING KICK. It MIGHT have changed things. Again, I think you are not giving him a fair chance. I'm not saying he is Pro-Bowl status yet. But what would you do?? Cut him after the season he had. For who? Who do you suggest is a better alternative. Give me names and stats that back them up as being PRESSURE kickers. Every kicker, including Vinetari, WILL MISS A PRESSURE kick.
