Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

Can't hurt.

Speaking of special teams and their play. Why does Danny Smith get a free pass?

BTW I like this signing none the less.

THIS!


F... Danny Smith.

Neil Rackers used to be great at kicking off. Now he's old. So I would bet the plan is to keep both kickers, and then use Gano on kickoffs.

Rackers = a season of pulled groins and hammys ala John Hall :benched:

Stick with the young stud who drills 59-yarders... stick with

:point: GANO :point:

Shhh! That kinda crazy talk gets you flogged in these parts!!

Why would rackers leave Houston because they wouldn't offer him a multiyear contract but come here to "compete" with gano?

Doesn't make sense to me

Rackers had 15 touchbacks on 36 kickoffs while Gano had 32 touchbacks on 73 kickoffs so its not as big of a discrepancy as it seems.

Maybe Rackers can overcome the challenge of kicking a FG when there's a 6'8" defensive lineman coming at you untouched by your blockers.

I must be one of the few who doesn't like this move. Gano is young and improving, has a stronger leg. Are they going to cut him? We'll see how long before people here call for Rackers neck.

I agree with this. I would much rather have Gano. Even if he is going to miss some that he should make. He gives us the chance to make some that he shouldn't.
