Update: Redskins Sign K Kai Forbath and OLB Mario Addison/Waive Cundiff and White

[mooby]

I'm going to reserve judgement on this signing for now. It appears Cundiff still has issues so I'm happy another guy is getting his chance, but I'm going to hold off on the "anything is better than Cundiff" talk right now. We've said the same thing about every kicker that's been replaced for a long time now.

dcprosportswhat?

I said Kobra Kai here yesterday.

Seriously though, it's obviously not a hard nickname to come up with. I'm sure people were calling him that long before any of us did.

You would think sooner or later based on pure probability we would hit on one of these guys. We're way overdue.

I have a feeling this guy should be kicker for the Redskins someday, so I'm going to nickname him Kobra Kai.

Well...

"Considered by many to be the best place kicker to ever walk the face of the earth, the Redskins signed Forbath to replace the embarrassing Billy Cundiff."

In a recent interview, Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan stated, "Comparing Forbath to Cundiff would be like comparing Stephen Hawking to The Situation from Jersey Shore."

I'm personally ecstatic. Cundiff is a choker.

that was fun while it lasted, wiki done changed

[Evilgrin]

"One kick that left his foot during college has been rumored to still be circling the earth in geosynchronous orbit."

[Evilgrin]

The Washington Redskins and their fans all cheered in a beautiful harmonious fashion as they literally kicked Cundiff out and signed Forbath on October 9th, 2012.

[Evilgrin]

"As Cundiff's last act, Mike Shanahan teed him up from the right hash mark 21 yards out and had Cobra Kai sweep the leg in front of the team.'

Just quoting the wiki for fun until its all gone.

Note quite:

Dallas Cowboys
After being projected as the second-best kicker in the 2011 NFL Draft, Forbath was not selected. However, on August 2, 2011, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys against his will as a rookie free agent, and was subsequently placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. He was waived on April 16, 2012


Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins and their fans all cheered in a beautiful harmonious fashion as they literally kicked Cundiff out and signed Forbath on October 9th, 2012. As Cundiff's last act, Mike Shanahan teed him up from the right hash mark 21 yards out and had Cobra Kai sweep the leg in front of the team.
