Well although missing those field goals today (not the last one, that one was on HS) was pretty pathetic, I can't help but remember david akers... Sometimes these young guys just have to get a good rhythm or work ethic going.

I know everyone always fears we're missing out on the next Akers, but we've cut a lot more kickers that have gone on to sell cars to make a living than Pro Bowl kickers. Maybe, just maybe, Gano won't amount to any more than he is

Well knowing our luck, if we cut him he'll become great and if we don't he'll continue to suck haha...

What are the chances of him not kicking next week? Didnt he get hurt on that botched extra point?

Heard one of the talking heads on TV say that the Redskins have had 16 kickers in the last 15 years - - since Chip Lohmiller cashed it in.
You would think that just once the special teams coaches here could have found a long-term keeper, no?
Gano has missed 10 FGs this year which is the highest in the NFL.
Meanwhile just to rub salt in the wound, Shaun Suisham is 9 for 9 with the Steelers and will be heading to the playoffs - - unless he breaks a leg.

Bringing in kickers tomorrow to work out at Redskins Park. It is Tuesday so it's not unheard of, but still...
At this point might as well ride it out with Gano and evaluate things after the season.
