Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

5 FGs, 1 XPno excuse for that

Hope Gano & the entire unit get it together. Some of those blocks were on Gano a little, others like the seattle game, are inexcusable from the line. Gano can be great, let's stick w/him

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.
So near perfect now is 74% now days?

Where are you getting these numbers? His numbers were 41 attempts and 31 made.


41 attempts -5 = 36

So divide 31 FGs made by 36 attempts and whaalaaa...


31/36 = 86%

Hell if your going to start removing stats then remove all the chip shots he made.

I was talking about the year before where he made 14/15 or 93.3%

Very enjoyable read:

It was asked what would his % be if you took out the blocked FGs.

Even if we took out the chip shots, and removed the 5 attempts on "blocked FGs", this is what the numbers would look like.

26 attempts - 5 blocked FGs = 21 attempts

17 FGs made (from 30-50+ yrds)

17/21= 81%



Still not bad.

I was talking about the year before where he made 14/15 or 93.3%

You can't throw out all his stats and just use 7 games to prop him up.

We can manipulate his numbers all we want, fact is we wouldn't have signed Rackers if there wasn't an issue. He needs to step up his game, period.

It's been frustrating to watch us parade schmo after schmo out there at kicker rather than address the position with a proven player. It would be nice if Gano were to overcome his issues since he's a younger guy who has a strong leg but Rackers fits the profile of a playoff kicker that can win games rather than someone just filling a roster spot.
