Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Yep. Made all of his kicks, booted the ball out of the end zone, and even helped to stop Sproles on a kickoff return.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Cundiff was a really good pickup. I'm generally forgiving on Gano and didn't think bringing in Rackers meant anything, but Cundiff is probably a top ten NFL kicker. And he was available. So kudos to the front office for getting him.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Baffled me when they cut him and even more so now. I mean he's a top tier kickoff guy and fine enough on FGs. Weird decision.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Ravens fans have scapegoated him. I wonder if there was a similar effect in the front office. Ozzie Newsome is so good that it seems unlikely, but still...

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
All I'll say is Cundiff did great for his first game with the Redskins. Lets see how he does the other 15 games. And remember, he was cut in Baltimore because he missed a SUPER BOWL kick, not like a regular season game winner or 41 yarder against the saints.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
And pretty much all of his field goals except for one appeared to be absolutely straight down the middle, and his kick offs were fantastic. Almost wished I had started him on my fantasy team.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Shoot, Cundiff alone might be worth two more wins in the column.
Why did the Ravens release this guy? Inside the 50 this guy seems money. |

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
We all had to hold our breath whenever Gano kicked, it was very calming to know if the O moved the ball in to the 30's we were coming away with points!

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
I always hold my breath when we are kicking a FG. I don't trust any kicker but so much. He had a great game and his kick offs were money.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
I was nervous on that last one, was that 47 yards?
I was thinking, this is close to his 50-yard max range...but he made it easily. Looks like Shanahan made another good decision, even though it confused the fans.
