Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
By that standard, every kicker in the league should be cut. I wanted to beat Suisham with a 2x4 on Sunday, but he was kicked the ball through the uprights on 85% of his field goal attempts. He missed two big attempts, but this move strikes me as a knee-jerk reaction based more on emotion than reason. I think we will regret releasing Suisham.

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
not really, you have to look at the distance and game situation
if he was 18 for 21 and his missed were all over 35yds thats one thing, but thats not the case. one was in a dome to put the game away should been made, the other basically a pat again to put the game away

The Giants are looking for a kicker maybe they'll sign him and he'll come back to haunt them. Suisham will get a job, so we don't need to feel sorry for him. |

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
Suisham makes me think of Scott Norwood...we will always remember him for the kick that cost us the chance to beat the unbeaten saints....and possibly a playoff chance (if we were to somehow finish 8-8)
Good luck to him, though....

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
love this move
Gives us time to evaluate a new kicker in an actual real game and not preseason.Plus if Hunter pulls another hammy we dont have to waste another roster spot on a punter.

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
missing that field goal in dallas to make it a 2 possession game was costly. i dont really blame suisham for that b/c i thought it was out of his range to begin with but that, in and of itself, is an indictment against him.
the miss this sunday was just plain bad. add that to the week prior and i dont really see any reason to keep him onboard. honestly, what are we going to miss? he cant make field goals over 50 yds and he misses the makeable kicks and the most inopportune times. plus he kicked the ball out of bounds at least twice this year and is inconsistent with his kickoffs after the first few games of every season. go skins!

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
50 in a dome isn't too much to ask for.. 39 definitely wasn't

Re: Suisham released, Gano new kicker
Had to be done. Suisham is a good guy, seemingly, so you do feel bad for him, but it's the reality of being a kicker in the nfl. You miss easy kicks that costs teams games than you don't have a job. He knows this more than any of us.
