shaun suisham may be in trouble

Here let me put the nail in the coffin, I don't see how anyone can evaluate the kicking from Sat since the way it reads play by play all the kicks were from the 20 yrd line. I want to see in game kicks where the "intensity" and nerves kick in. Which player will kick better under pressure and from the 40 yrd line and beyond.

Two yrs ago everyone was singing Swishes praise. Last yr with a rookie punter holding the ball he did terrible. To be honest I'd rather see Collins or Colt holding the ball so if there's a problem a pass attempt could be made. Maybe even a trick play, a fake field goal. In any case what is a punter going to do?.....punt for a field goal?

i cant believe , over the years, that the skins cant find an above average kicker. look at some of the scrubs they have trotted out over the last couple of seasons( Suisham included)

Drop kick. :)

they should've cut suisham after he missed that 25 yarder in the playoffs at seattle.

Scintillating discussion in this thread so far. We're comparing the hang time of the new kicker to that of Durant Brooks, a punter.

Add something to the board or don't post.

I can't believe the irony in this post.

I suppose you think hangtime has a different definition whether a football is kicked or punted. Both kickers and punter have the ability to have hangtime so I don't see your reasoning. I'm well aware Brooks was a punter and that Rayner is a kicker.

The crux of the matter here is that saying Rayner has hangtime, and believing it, is the same as believing Brooks had great hangtime last year when he consquently got cut from two NFL clubs in one season.


Sometimes mindless people will interject foolish statements with nothing of true substance.

...that's has some irony too I suppose.

Who cares about hang time with a place kicker though?? Just put it through the uprights.

Sorry folks but Rayner isn't winning the job.

If he's doing kickoffs its important. That's a special teams talent that lets your guys get down field.

So important in fact that Suisham was asked to adjust his technique early last season in order to get better hang time on kick-offs. He had been booting them deep, but with the low trajectory, the coverage guys weren't able to get downfield in time.

We weren't so good with opposing team field position last year IIRC.

I don't think Raymer will get the call, but Suisham was awful last year so something has to give.

Gotta love this time of yr. I think the best time of yr is between Sept and April. Between April and Sept. has got to be the worst. No one can speak highly of a player they like, no one can speak negatively about a player they hate, no one can talk about players possibly getting unseated at their positions...with out getting bashed.

Reyner won't make the team. He's a camp scrubb. No other team would pick him up. All because Suish is the "Golden Boy."

Our place kicker is an average player. I just want him to have some legit competition so he steps up his game.
