Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano

[mredskins]

6. The best kicking leg in the league: whacked. You can look it up. Over the past two years, Billy Cundiff is a 90 percent field goal kicker inside the 50 (53 of 59), and no other kicker averaged more yards per kickoff (69.5) or had more touchbacks than his 84. But the Ravens, bugged more by his 1-of-7 from 50-plus in the last two seasons than his crucial miss in the AFC title game last January, cut him Sunday. They prefer to save $1.5 million on the cap and go with a four-year kickoff man from the University of Texas, Justin Tucker. Risky move for a Super Bowl contender.

ohhh so the 1-7 passed the 50 jacks his percentage up. Well automatic inside the 50 is comforting.

Please enlighten us how?

Their old defense has gotten a year older and has lost their best playmaker for at least the majority of the regular season.

They have a difficult schedule.

And well their offense is still their offense. Good but not great.

I don't see it but everyone has their opinion.

Well I picked the Patriots last year and I didn't feel like picking them again, and I just don't see anyone else that really blows me away...but anyway, this is not the thread for that

They're certainly in the conversation in the AFC at the very least.
