This guy seems to make clutch field goals at will. I guess we are comfortable with him. MTK 03-01-2008, 01:39 PM Brown got a pretty big contract... not sure I'd want that much money tied up in that position. FRPLG 03-01-2008, 02:26 PM Suisham is a decent kicker. He isn't a top tier guy because his leg isn't huge but he is accurate. I'd say he is a top 15 kicker and I thnk paying a top 15 guy only pennies compared to a top 5 guy is a better value. The only time a kicker REALLY matters is when he can't make anything or when he misses game winners. NicknacK89 03-01-2008, 02:27 PM Brandon Coutu out of Georgia looks like the best kicker in the draft. I was watching him in the college skills competition on ESPN some time ago and he was nailing them from 57 with 10 yards to spare. I would love to see him become a redskin.

WestCoastSkinsFan 03-01-2008, 02:32 PM FYI, along with the blurb on Suisham, I saw that we did NOT tender a contract to Nemo. Looks like this could be the end of his tenure with us. skinsfan69 03-01-2008, 02:33 PM The Redskins have tendered a contract to exclusive rights free agent Shaun Suisham, meaning that the strong-legged kicker will remain with the team next season.

And his kickoffs are not real deep. I'd bring in some competition for him. MTK 03-01-2008, 02:40 PM I guess... but who out there is any better? I say considering the musical chairs we've played with kickers over the years we should be happy to finally have a good kicker. NicknacK89 03-01-2008, 02:43 PM Brandon Coutu...
