Thank you Matty. Always the voice of reason. Don't cut him, give him a spit bucket and let him catch spit! It would probably make the rest of the team feel better and send the message If you can't earn your kicking paycheck we got a job you can't screw up! Hopefully. LOL!

screw Shaun Suisham, that piece of s*** f***er

Actually Chad Ocho-cinco was kicking field goals in the preseason and looked pretty good. Bet he would be better than Suisham.

As far as Suisham, bad bad miss today, but he's in large part been very accurate all year. To knee jerk cut him wouldn't be smart.

I'm sorry watching Tebow cry did it for me!!!

I say cut him just to show that the redskins dont put up with shit like this every year

But that's not the message it would send. That message would be "we'll hold you accountable, but only if you really don't cost us that much to release." Terrible message.

Throw your support around the guy, and then in the uncapped year, you can pay a premium to replace him in March, if he does nothing in the last four weeks to earn your trust.

Is Sam Swank available? He was the best kicker in the ACC (Wake Forest) a couple years ago, and has a very strong leg. I'd like to try to catch lightning in a bottle since this is a lost season - audition the strongest legs out there. Suisham will never be a Top-15 kicker in this league, so why not try to find one when the season is already a lost cause?

Should we use a late round draft pick on a kicker? If so, on whom?

I am with you. I always knew Suisham would choke. He cost us the Dallas game and he cost us this game.

SkinzzFan · 12-06-2009, 06:34 PM

Two missed FGs against Dallas when JUST 1 would have won the game and the missed FG today that would have won this game too. Explain to me why we should KEEP his sorry ass? Seems pretty stupid to defend keeping him in my opinion.

Let him walk after the season not now. Cutting him with 3 games left is silly, because he and the Skins know now he's not coming back, so why cut him now and get a guy from the street who hasn't worked with our holder?

mooby · 12-06-2009, 06:41 PM

Alls I gotta say is if he isn't gone after the season then something's wrong. Obviously it's a knee jerk reaction but time and time again this guy proves that he can't make a kick when it matters (a 23 yard kick? That's almost a motherfucking extra point) and we keep rewarding him by keeping him on the roster. I say draft a good kicker in the later rounds this year. Look at all the trouble Dallas had but they picked up Nick Folk in the 5th round or some shit and now he's a pro bowler.

He's not being held accountable, bottom line. Kickers like him are a dime a dozen (good kickers who just suck when it matters) and we keep rewarding him when he fails to reward us when it matters.

While watching the Dallas kicker miss yet another FG, I think I found Suisham a home?
