Hunter Axed

Smith wasn't part of the future anyway, who cares

Oh I know that is what is being said but I'm not buying it,come on 3 games left and this is what you think will send a meesage?
I think it will send the message that H...it ain't happnin' for you here. I need to get some boys in here and run em' through some paces under live fire to see if we can find some answers....THIS season that will benefit us next season.
Do you see some sinister Mike "the axeman" Shannihan thing here?

I see Shanny "axeing" a new player for every loss from here on out.

.....Mrs Smith but you're right.

Of course a good punting game is better than a poor punting game. So, how come when the Skins were over .500 and looking at the playoffs - - remember, we had a thread here on just how the Skins would win the NFC East - - improving the punting game was not so important?

There are lots of other deficiencies on the 2010 squad. How many of them are also going to be jettisoned in the next couple of weeks to audtion new talent in game situations under fire (rather than in training camp scenarios)? Don't worry about needing the fingers on two hands to count those instances.

If you do not think that the Redskins organization is capable of scapegoating someone on the roster after a serious on-field blunder, you have not been paying attention either to the current owner of the team or to the current head coach.

When the 2010 season was still relevant, the team (coaches, FO and owner) had no problems with Hunter's punting, Gano's missing, Haynesworth's malingering etc. but once the season circled the drain and fans got very angry, then the team (coaches, FO and owner) "took action" to remedy things they said they recognized all along.

Sorry, I'm not shopping at that store...

As a matter of fact, Haynesworth performance and shannanigans on and off the field have been a daily issue since he arrived.........or didn't.
I think the punting and kicking game have been as well since we have had numerous misses that could have salted away a few games and "makeable" FG's failed.....and we lost.
Way to many times have Hunters efforts left a short field to the enemy needlessly.
I imagine the...botched "hold" the other day was simply the last straw in an erstwhile lackluster year or two. I really don't get how you read such sinister activities in this event?
AND if he used it to send a messgae to the rest of the team that mediocrity is not the key to a long Redskin career...you have a problem with that?

so i guess shanny is gonna set some records in dallas this week...

Redskins Will Set Punting Record in 2010 -- NFL FanHouse (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/12/16/redskins-will-set-punting-record-in-2010/)

the last paragraph....


Over the next 15 seasons, Washington used 17 kickers with only Suisham sticking around long enough to even try 70 field goals. Suisham, whose blown 23-yard chip shot to the same end zone at which Gano missed from 24 last Sunday cost the Redskins a huge upset of unbeaten New Orleans and then his job last December, is now with Pittsburgh for whom he has yet to miss.
