yeah, I rather have The Rack...I dont think Rack even attempted a preseason game field goal, so its hard to say what was the issue. Im gonna trust Danny Smith on this one.

I agree. WTF?????


I'd rather have Gano than Cundiff any day to the week. So if we are 40 yards out, we might as well be going for it.

@JohnKeim Surprised by this: Cundiff has attempted more than 25 kicks in a season five times; has made more than 80 percent of his kicks once.

Stats, numbers, percents, etc... can be manipulated any way to either sound good or bad.

Look her it is manipulated to sound like Cundiff is good:

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.


Bottom line; Redskins said we need more accuracy inside 50 yards then we do outside of 50 yards. They are rolling the dice. They want to make sure they make the layups and take a chance of on their 3PT percentage. That is what Cundiff gives them over Gano.

0-1 as a Redskin

B.Cundiff 46 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right, Center-N.Sundberg, Holder-S.Rocca.

He can't help poor blocking and coaching.

Ravens fans must love that we're picking through their scraps.

[FRPLG]

huh? sight unseen? Did Gano get caught with an underage hooker last night? Forget what this says about Gano...what does it say about Rackers?

[mooby]

We can talk about percentages all we want, but we all know it won't matter unless they improve the blocking up front.

[Daseal]

At least Gano was young and inaccurate. Not old and inaccurate.
