GoGameCoksandSkins Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Suisham struggled last year. It was very evident at times. I believe he even came up short on a 40 yard field goal. That, to me, is unacceptable. We need a strong legged kicker who is willing to compete at a high level week in and week out. I really think Succop should be looked at and brought to camp.

CRobi21 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 First off, welcome to the board dude. Be sure to read up on some of the forum rules so that you don't piss any mods off cause they're starting to really crack down on the rules. To the point. I agree that Shaun has been very inconsistent, and competition definately needs to bring in. I see that Succop is a former Game****, , I wonder where you've heard of him. Haha. Maybe you could shed a lil more insight on your guy as the thread goes on. Here are some links to some of Succops stats, and stories. http://game****sonline.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/succop_ryan00.html http://southcarolina.rivals.com/cviewplayer.asp?Player=52973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmettoRedskin Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ryan, is that you? lol. Succop has a powerful leg but struggled with his accuracy this past season. I wouldn't use a pick on him, but definately as a UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammsteinSkins Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I never thought he was that good. I remember he was horrible at Florida when they blocked almost every time he kicked a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't use a pick on him, but definately as a UDFA. Yea no way I would use a pick on him. He did struggle with accuracy, but in reality he was the highlight of our scoring offense. Our line was less than consistent, so don't read too much into that. (Even though I believe it was Jarvis Moss who beasted him in 2006). I really think he just had a rough year, as South Carolina did as a whole, but I think he would be an upgrade over Suisham. He also was a pretty decent punter, and fairly athletic. He was always a threat to fake it, and burned MSU pretty bad on one of his fakes. He is a player and I would love to see Danny give him a shot.

terpskins10 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You probably know more about the guy than I do, but I'm wary of taking a kicker that only had 66% accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is def worth our 6th!!! The season is too short for another forgettable kicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8jacket Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I was hoping we might take a gander at mike nugent but tb scooped him up. I wouldnt mind seeing matt stover come in. I at least am confident in his abilities from 40 yards and in. I think it's very important we address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutlead74 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 UDFA for sure, we dont have picks to waste, we need our draft picks to be able to at least make the team for a whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HA1LV1CT0RY Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'd hope we got after a new kicker, and I hope Dirk works out. Honestly think about how bad our D had it last season and was still top 4? Our special teams was AWFUL, we kicked 30 yard punts, and gave them great field position every time. Combine that with an offense that would go 3 and out and our D was carrying us. This season with a few plugs, the ship is going to more then float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooley's Kidz Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 succop could also punt too like he did his first 3 years at carolina. although i like the guy and think he is bette than suisham he does choke. one game this year didn't he go 1 for 5 and not to mention last year against tennessee when he went wide right. guy does have a strong leg, but no need to waste a pick on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Skins Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'd rather sign Stover and take a chance that we can develop a young kicker on the PS or put one on IR for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 You probably know more about the guy than I do, but I'm wary of taking a kicker that only had 66% accuracy. As someone who went to every Carolina home game, I can say that the largest part of that was due mostly to one game where he went 1/5 on FGs while playing (unbeknownst to fans at the time) with a relatively severe abdominal tear. He was in great pain for about a 3 game stretch this season, but we had literally no one else to place kick for us. His junior year, he was heralded as one of the best kickers in the country. Don't let the accuracy senior year scare you off, he has a very strong leg and is generally quite accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went to every home game then you'll know he only missed 2 FG's at Willie B. The 1/5 game was at Kentucky, which Carolina won. Here's a link to his career stats..... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=173684 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joespn Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 We should definitely try and get graham gano. He can kick and punt and definitely has the leg to do both. That would also open up a roster spot for an extra O/D lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvtbred Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I keep hearing Suisham struggled because of Plackameier (sp?) and if that was the case might be ok this year. I wouldn't be against Stover coming in though he is automatic inside 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
