Is Our Kicker Doing A Good Job??

NFLNetwork · 10-21-2007, 10:53 PM

I know Suisham missed a kick today, but evaluating his whole season thus far, has he done a good job??

7 of 10 w/ 2 of the misses from beyond 40 yards. He's no Bironas or Vinaterri but better than Hurtin' Hall or Blanchard.

Those numbers are fine, and considering the trouble the Skins have had with kickers for the past 10 years, I find it difficult to believe that Suisham is even being questioned right now, especially considering that he has been very good in the clutch (remember Dallas last year?)

I imagine they are starting to think about some other options.

I remember hearing that most coaches believe there are like 45 guys in the world capable of being an NFL kicker. 5-7 of them are good enough to be mainstays and avoid funks and so forth. The rest are all the same guy. Prone to prolonged funks and generally unreliable. Our guy is one of those.

His misses have all been the exact same nasty hook. He should try to kick it straight next time IMO.

Thanks Captain Obvious. The Redskins should also try to win next game. Wow, I love this logic!

It's like the guy sitting behind me at the game who screamed "Watch out for the onside kick!" at the end of the game.

This is very sound advice.

His miss against Dallas was as streight as could be the problem was it started 2 feet off the mark. If he hit it straight it would have been good.

He's becoming very unreliable. I think they should clearly bring in some kickers this week for a look.

Take a look at what is out there to possibly be had. We NEED a RELIABLE kicker, we see how close most all games are ending.

If you can't make it from 40 consistently without fail you should be out of a job. Mr. Sushi is starting to piss me off.
