Steelers cut Reed, sign SUISHAM

Good luck with that.


A drunk Jeff Reed would be better than Suisham. Reed has struggled, but if they think Suisham will be better...they have not seen anything yet.

Shaun Suisham Practices For First Time After Replacing Jeff Reed







PITTSBURGH -- Newly signed kicker Shaun Suisham joined his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates at Wednesday's practice, as they prepare for the upcoming home game against Oakland on Sunday.

Suisham's last NFL appearance was in a Jan. 17 playoff game last season.

He's expected to quickly fill some big shoes with the departure of the Steelers' second-leading all-time scorer, Jeff Reed, who was cut Tuesday.

Suisham was not resigned by the Dallas Cowboys when his contract expired after last season, and he moved to Greenville, Ohio, with his wife's family.

Suisham said on Wednesday that his mother-in-law died about 2 1/2 weeks ago, so he's thankful for his recent time spent away from football.

Suisham last kicked at Heinz Field during a workout in 2005. He has prior cold-weather experience with the Washington Redskins.

He has had an up-and-down career, starting with Dallas in 2005 and getting cut midway through 2006, then catching on with Washington, where he stayed until being cut in December, then bouncing back to Dallas for the rest of the 2009 season.
