This puts our kicker into perspective

While we are on the subject of special teams...lets recognize our punter Derrick Frost. A great year for him. He was one of the best punters this season. Had a 41 yards per punt average...not bad. GO DERRICK FROST!

Not bad? He was ranked 28th. If anything he was not good.

People who criticize Suisham need to remember how bad our kicking situation has been for about 15 years. Well he's not as good as the best in the league he is clearly solidly in the second tier and improving.

Suisham did pretty good. Ranked 13th, near the top of the middle of the pack. He got us something like 115 points. Not bad.

Suisham has to, I repeat HAS TO, start making the routine kicks, well, routine. His uncanny ability to nail the tough ones, while missing the chip shots is maddening.

Actually he was 10/10 from inside the 30 this year. He was 8-10 from 30-39 which well not amazing is not exactly terrible either - pretty middle of the pack. It was outside the 40 where he struggled a little more, making 11-15, including 1-2 from 50 plus.

So I don't think those numbers suggest a guy whose problem is making routine kicks.

Exactly.

The people that want him gone are smoking crack IMO.

The one in the Seattle game was more than 30? If so thanks for the stats. Seems like he did well.

Sorry, those were just regular season stats. They didn't include the playoffs. I think the miss in the Seattle game was from 30.

well...in spite of and occasional miss, I feel somewhat vindicated for my proclamation below... :D

well his freaking range is like 48 yards. he made a 50 or 52 yarder once but its a crime that a kickers range in the nfl is 48 yards. another thing just common knowledge tells you that the closer you get to you range the more you will miss so if he isnt consistantly making 40 some yarders then we are in trouble. gives us very little room for error.

suisham did okay this year but he needs to get more consistent with the 45 yarders and in and get longer on the kickoffs. i think we need to bring in competition this pre-season, it doesnt hurt and might make suisham better in the process.

this has been said before, the better nfl kickers get more oppotunities 50 yards and out then suisham so comparing accuracy stats is alil skewed. anybody know how many 50 yd plus field goals attempts the better nfl kickers tried this year compared to shazaams 2?

go skins!
