Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham

Zorn on PK Shaun Suisham’s botched field goal: “Decent snap, excellent hold, it was a poor kick.”

I don't see that as defending Suisham.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham

Even if he DID defend Suisham, he has no choice. I'd much rather have a coach that defends him than hangs him out to dry. The coach shouldn't be deflecting blame to players. Good leaders take responsibility for a loss and give credit to others for a win, it's part of the job.

Agreed, Zorn showed class by not throwing his kicker under the bus. I was mortified earlier this year by Jim Mora Jr. when he placed his teams defeat solely on his kicker.

Yeah, but 23 yards!?!?!?!

He should be thrown under the team bus and backed over a few times.

Agreed. Nothing more than an extra point. Suisham has now blown two consecutive games on make-able, extremely make-able field goals for a NFL kicker, 39 and 23.

Only thing is, at 3-9, whats the point in doing anything now?

He listed the other mistakes the team made [fumbles, interception, pass coverage] as evidence that the loss cannot simply be blamed on Shaun Suisham.

What he said was true about all the other stuff that cost us. What should he say I will never trust him again and only send him out on the field when I have no other choice. We have 4 games left and canning him now would do us no good and he has also won several games for us.
