Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

I'd hate to see us prematurely cut Gano. I could easily see him pulling a Suisham and going somewhere else and being near perfect. He has a lot of potential and is still young. I say keep him.

Suisham came back down to earth last year, 23/31

I see it as a camp competition to be won by the best player. If so, it's a good move. Gano can return but only if he brings his A game.

Yup, let the best man win. Rackers has to be the favorite.

Again, the new Skins motto is clearly competition at every spot. I like Gano, always have. But let him compete through camp, work on his timing and accuracy, and may the best man wins.

Personally I am still counting on the Redskins bringing both Luck and Griffin in (trading the rest of our next two drafts to Indy after they take luck of course) and let the best man win that competition too!

Didnt Rackers make like a record number of fg's in a row then blew a game winner against the Bears that "let'em off the hook"???

what the hell are you talking about? Hes been one of the worst kickers percentage-wise in the league the last couple years.

Dont mince words, Gano is horrible

Take away those blocks and he's not. Why do fans keep acting as if the blocks are his fault? That falls on the OL and ST coach.

either get it done or dont. he hasnt. This is not last year but his entire, short career. the percentages are on him. We will see how many Big Rack has blocked.

Be easy on the guy Chico!!! If it wasnt for some of his misses we wouldnt be gettin RGIII!! Its the class theory thingy water stuff.....

When I see Gano and a reference to his skills as "elite" I tend to freak out. sorry

So now kickers are responsible for their own blocking. Got it.


I understand that he was inconsistent his first year, but wasn't David Akers when he was here? I'm sure guys like you were wanting him pushed out of town too. He did fine last year with kicks under his control (read...not blocked) so let's let the guy develop please.

Completely agree with you in terms of the blocked field goals. There were definitely two situations in which a blocker came free to block the field goal last offseason. In one case, Fred Davis did not chip at one of the defenders coming from the outside. And the other is the Calais Campbell one that I've been joking about on this thread. I forgot who it was, but two Redskins players let Campbell go through untouched.

I just found this on youtube, this basically shows Will Montgomery (#63) get completely owned by Red Bryant in both FG blocks:
