Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
2 things..
1. Cundiff is pretty much automatic from inside 50 yards, which Gano was not. Cundiff is an automatic touchback, Gano could boom them as well but also had the propensity to kick it out of bounds in a poor attempt at a directional kick. Cundiff was considered a top 10 kicker, Gano was bottom third. It's an upgrade. 2. The fact that we are bemoaning a kicker move and the fate of Graham Gano speaks volumes to how stable and sane this offseason has been. It's nice to go into a season with little to no drama for once.

Gano is no huge loss, if Cundiff can be money inside the 50 that right there is a big deal. |

Not automatic as the poster suggest, actually about 43%of the time on touchbacks, but better then Gano. |

Very strange. As Chick Hernandez said on Twitter, only the Skins could make drama out of the kicker's spot.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
Really nice move, the Ravens wanted the cap space, this is a good upgrade.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
I could definitely see bringing him in. Was Cundiff cut for a reason other than money?
Gano's no superstar but these two aren't too far about. I like that Gano is so young and we could potentially have a kicker for a long time if he develops. Also, he does have a very strong leg and has been improving every year. I was hoping this would be the year he really makes strides. Oh well. Cundiff is better than some of the kickers we've had over the years. At least we've had good luck with punters. Hunter Smith was our leading scorer, now Sav Rocca, a LB who punts.

Yeah, he was outperformed by a rookie kicker in camp.

Re: Redskins Sign K Billy Cundiff, Release Gano
hmm I don't really like this move. Apparently one thing I've concluded from all this is that MS is not a fan of Ganos and Rackers must be pretty bad now.
