Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

This will be a very stiff challenge for Graham Gano. While he hasn't reached elite status yet, Gano actually has a great chance of winning the competition over Rackers in preseason.

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

He's a top 10 NFL kicker. I will say this, if he's better than Gano it isn't by much. No I am not saying Gano is a top ten-fifteen NFL kicker, but one kick can be the difference between kickers 11-15. 2 or 3 kicks can be the difference between kickers 11-25. Gano is definitely getting better in my eyes. Rackers is declining in my opinion, thats what makes these two comparable and will make this kicking competition close and great to watch this preseason. I'm not going to lie though, I'm kind of pulling for Gano even though I had wanted him gone 2 years ago.

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

Neil Rackers used to be great at kicking off. Now he's old. So I would bet the plan is to keep both kickers, and then use Gano on kickoffs.

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

Rackers = a season of pulled groins and hammys ala John Hall

Stick with the young stud who drills 59-yarders... stick with

GANO

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

Why would rackers leave Houston because they wouldn't offer him a multiyear contract but come here to "compete" with gano?

Doesn't make sense to me

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

Maybe Rackers can overcome the challenge of kicking a FG when there's a 6'8" defensive lineman coming at you untouched by your blockers.

Re: Redskins sign kicker Neil Rackers

I must be one of the few who doesn't like this move. Gano is young and improving, has a stronger leg. Are they going to cut him? We'll see how long before people here call for Rackers neck.

I agree with this. I would much rather have Gano. Even if he is going to miss some that he should make. He gives us the chance to make some that he shouldn't.
