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??

rypper11 · 10-21-2007, 11:01 PM

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.

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.

skinsfan_nn · 10-22-2007, 12:02 AM

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.

If he hits that kick, we are not sweating like that at the end. Tough miss. One more like that, and we start brining in competition, IMO.

He started off strong but he hasn't been kicking well as of late. I think they should bring in some competition for him, I really wish we could find just one consistent kicker.

Bring back Novak!

Haha. No, but seriously I think Suisham is about as consistent as it's gonna get. Best keep him around till at least the end of the season.

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.

And he just jogs off the field with no emotion like that is what he meant to do.

What's he supposed to do, throw his helmet and kick the bench? He missed it and he knows it. Like the saying goes, you cant let the opponent see you sweat.

The hooks are coming from trying to kick too hard instead of just swinging his leg. Kind of like hooking a golf ball.
