Hogie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I didn't see if anyone else noticed this but last night Suisham's 48 yard FG looked like it would have been good from about 80. It was a rocket. I realize he hit the upright last week but that was from 47. I don't want to say most of the time, but a lot of the time good kickers bounce around the league in their first few seasons before latching on with one team and having a successful run. David Akers would be one :doh: Who knows, maybe for once we can luck out with a kicker and not have to go through the revolving door thing. Suisham is only 25. Maybe he's going to hit his stride now and be a consistent kicker who's capable of making 50+ yarders every now and then for years here. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurseReversed Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I agree, amongst all the talk about offense and defense it is often lost how vital a good kicker is to a teams success. One missed kick can make or break a season. I have high hopes for suisham and expect him to do well this year. But then again with our luck...who knows.

chipwhich Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 He wasn't looking that strong in warm ups. just barely squeaking in from that distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The one you mentioned that hit the upright last week looked like it would have been good from 75. It hit a few feet from the top and those things are 30 feet off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The dude certainly has a leg. I was so pissed at the offense for screwing up his chance for a game winner last night. I would have liked to see how he handled that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I think we're set at both kicking positions. Frost has been outstanding so far, and Suisham has been steady. Thanks for the patience of the coaching staff for sticking with these guys when outsiders were calling for them to be cut last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 He did well last night, I looks like we have finally stopped the revolving door of kickers. And what is even better is both Frost and Susiam are young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 One thing for sure, he looks better than John Hall ever did for us. Frost's first punt was nothing to write home about but he leveled off. Don't forget how critical it is to get the kickoffs deep without your leg "getting tired" and not needing two roster spots for a kickoff specialist and field goal kicker.

skinpride1 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Where are all the guys at that wanted to get rid of him because of the miss last week? Give the guy a chance to prove himself!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Swwwwish em has a boot! He nailed a 52 yarder for us last year. He's solid and his kickoffs are good too. And Frosty Flakes has been stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgun88 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 With all the negatives that happened the last two weeks, I am so glad that our special teams is finally going to be reliable. I mean FROST is SICK! He was making 60 yard punts like it was nothing. And Suisham is reliable too, it looks like anyway so thats awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Frost is sick....when there's no pressure! Let's see how he does in the 4th quarter of tight games. I still have no confidence in him. It will take a long time for me to get that shank job at Tampa in the playoffs out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a long time for me to get that shank job at Tampa in the playoffs out of my head. Fair enough. But I for one am glad that he'll be around for us to see if he'll hold up under pressure.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm seriously contemplating getting a Frost jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panel Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I like Frost, but I am not sold on Suisham yet, I still get nervous every time he kicks. I think a few are WAY over doing it with 75-80 distance. More like 55, but the accuracy looks shaky on some of his kicks too, he never seems to get in right down the middle. He is serviceable, and I think he can be good, but I want a kicker that can steal us games, and I don't think he can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 21 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Both our Kicker and Punter look really good. ESPECIALLY frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I like the way our special teams have played so far..Frost is punting very nicely and Suisham making a 48 yard FG makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have gone in from 75? No. Would it have travelled 75, yards? Yes. That's the kind of leg strength we haven't had for some time around here. It boggles my fragile little mind that some of you discount what he has done here. How is his accuracy "look" shaky? It either goes in or it doesn't, and since he has been here, our FG's have been consistently going in AND from distance to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gart Monk Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The weather conditions were perfect in both games for kickers so far but i am glad to see them doing well. Frost looks like a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 suisham is our season long kicker in my mind. He impressed me a lot last season and has good leg power. He will be fine for us. Enough with the John Hall mistake. How can a kicker get injured that much!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 We have a kicker who can potentially put points on the board every time we get to the opposition 40. Don't underestimate how much this would help us win games. Let's give the guy time with our full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
