Good, his KO were terrible.

RG3 is next; and Gruden better start producing or he will follow.

I support this move...Forbath wasnt anything special.

McC not putting up with this garbage

Personally I think that is unfortunate.

I may be mistaken, but I think that Kai was the most accurate kicker in Redskins history.

It, however, seems that the team was sort of determined to get rid of him.

Idk, at least Kai was consistent on field goals. I hated his kickoffs as much as the next guy but he was our first relatively consistent field goal kicker in a while.

Well his KO was effing garbage and Kai max range for field goal is something like 45 yards. We can do much, much better

Not worth it. The yardage we give up on kickoffs is worth more to the other team in terms of expected points than the difference between 75% (assumed dingus off the street) and 80% (Kai) on FGs. Nevermind the FGs that Kai can't even attempt because he doesn't have the leg.

He was 24-27 on FGs last year, hope the Redskins didn't go out of their way to find trouble.

I figured they did the numbers on this. If our new kicker can hit the same percentage of shots as Kai did and put kickoffs in the endzone this will definitely be an upgrade. I just hope our new guy isn't one of those that has the leg but doesn't have the accuracy.
