ThePreciating Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 It's frustrating. Better kickers are available, let's just get one. I know it's been said in non-poll form, but I just wanted to make clear that the majority of this board is tired of Suisham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Why isn't "Bring in Competition" a poll option? Your poll is meaningless and you're only trying to force the answer you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think we can find better on a practice squad somewhere.Take option 3 to mean "bring in competition to compete at least" Sure, wheres the asterisk? As the other poster stated, your choices are limited and for a reason, you want the answer you seek. Please go get some numbers from last year and re-think your position. SS is fine, the miss the other night? How about the snap or a new holder? Could that have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We wouldn't be having kicker problems if we had given David Akers more of a chance in '98 and then allocated him to NFL Europe like the Beagles did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsarethebest Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 cut the bum -- that seattle playoff loss was painful, and i think a lot of it had to do with his shanking that FG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyLight Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Relax, Suishem's just fine. He's an above average kicker with a roster spot; livin' the dream son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinwhylee Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 VanderjustkiddingI agree, aside from the Seattle game he has been money in the clutch :laugh::laugh: I don't mind Suisham nor Frost.

LoudMouth12thMan Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I do think he needs competition. Even the best kicker in the game had someone "competing for the job" even if he's really just showing what he can do in order to make someone else's roster. Suisham was getting depth on his kickoffs, but I wouldn't say his kicks had much hang time. He out-kicked his coverage on a number of occasions in combination with the fact that many of the backup Teamers were tacking horrible angles. There is something to be said about the holder/kicker relationship and the fact that most of the special teams guys on the field will not be on the roster or were cut today (Schwiegert) :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
