Ghent Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Shaun Suisham has won the Redskins' kicking job, according to Brad Biggs of the National Football Post. Suisham was in a very tight battle with Dave Rayner. It's a little surprising Suisham won because of his 72.2 percent accuracy last season and he'll probably be on a short leash. You can do better at your kicker spot. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Biggs-Skins-name-Suisham-winner-of-kickoff.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 He was solid for us before last year. I'm glad he'll get a chance to bounce back. If he can't get back to form, then I'm all for replacing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins2Win33 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 If this stands, not really a surprise IMO. If things were close and Rayner couldn't take Suisham overall, then he doesn't deserve the spot over Suisham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm glad to hear this. I hope his kickoffs improve, but he was good in 2007 and I think he just got bad when Placemaker came in as the holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskns21 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I wouldn't call him solid last year by any means, but that's just me. I'd be very excited to see a change here if a reliable veteran were to become available. Edit: Sorry shooz, I misread your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Cool. Now we just pray we never have to kick a FG longer than 25 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Suisham - the Taylor Jacobs of kickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaimeDeCurry Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Guess that means we're confident that we'll never end a drive outside the 20 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD5 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Just pray that somehow the Ravens release Graham Gano. Suisham would be out of here 24 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 This is what boggles my mind. Millions of people in this country and Suisham is the only person we can find who can shank field goals in timely situations? Heck have me kick, I'll make the same chip shots he does and shank the long ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsaddict Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 suisham had been solid for us last year? huh? i missed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It perplexes me how this guy is still our kicker. He will lose us a game this year no doubt. Hope he proves me wrong. Go Suisham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 How Stover is not signed by a team is beyond me. Also Tampa may let Bryant go. Two names the skins should be looking at. Suisham is not a very good kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modazfuk Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I guess with the Skins, 52 yards is too far, but if you can make 48 yards, you're our man:hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Suisham can return to form of 2007 and possibly become a legit kicker here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderDOOM Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 u supposed to hit the ones inside 35. Where's Connor Hughes?? Suisham's got to be money from 50ish more often and automatic 45 and under would a lot cooler. IMHO Raymor didn't get much an opportunity in the games to take over the imcumbent. Guess Suisham looked great in practice.....whoa big Albert at the UT game and the Skinz flag flyin on the boat. httr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
