They'd better be careful. Suisham sucks, but in a season where everything's gone wrong, kicker is the guy you're going to get rid of based on some lousy kicks? This reeks of a knee jerk reaction with just 4 games to go in a lost season.

On channel 4 tonight they said it was Suisam.. that cant be right and i wasnt hearing things because i remember laughing to myself.. surprised there isnt a thread on it in here to be honest :hysterical:

Actually, I believe that is correct. Suckum, has a better overall percentage. However, I believe both Mark and Chip would have a better average clutch kicks where the game is on the line, or the miss is actually the difference in the game.

Kickers nowadays have a better percentage than back in the day...

Alright, Gano!

Gano was Mr. Automatic at FSU, although he was an even better punter once he had to start taking over those duties as well. His set up takes too long for the NFL though, unless he's been working a lot on that lately.

That'd be cool if Gano stuck around to be a good kicker for us. I have no idea what happened with him and the Ravens.

Yea but it was a long FG though. He missed from like 40+ yds out initially but made a longer one to win the game. He didn't choke on a chip shot 23 yarder!

I never knew why we cut Novack in the first place? He was much better than John Hall.

He missed to field goals from less than 40 yards, inside a Dome

Please!! Suisam couldn't carry Mark Moseley's jock strap!! THAT was a clutch kicker!! (even though I remember him missing the "record" breaker, but getting a 2nd attempt due to defensive offsides.. He made it the 2nd time! :D :dallasuck

Gano can punt too, can't he? I think I read that before.

This will fire you up. Some highlights of Gano:

As a senior Graham was awarded the nation's top honor for a placekicker when he won the Lou Groza Award.

Graham made 24 of 26 field goals in 2008 while leading the nation in field goals per game (2.18) and leading all kickers scoring 9.55 points a game.

Made a school-record 18 straight field goals, tied for the national lead in field goals made (24) and led the country with five made kicks from at least 50 yards.

Duirng the last year of his career at Florida State, Graham was asked and slated to become the first player in school history to handle all of the kicking duties - consisting of punting, placements and kickoffs - for the 2008 season.

Named the top punter in the ACC by the Sporting News.

Was Florida State's punter (42.1 yards per punt average) and handled all of the kickoff duties (39 touchbacks on 157 kickoffs) in the last two seasons (2006 and 2007)

Maybe it was because he could not hit the broad side of a barn from 35 yards out. He was 5 for 10, including just 1 of 3 from 20-29 yards. Suisham beat out Novak.....that's how BAD Novak was. Yeah, yeah....he made a couple clutch kicks. But a FG kicker has to be better than 50 percent from inside the 50.

I hope we sign Gano. Lou Groza award winner last year. FSU kickoff specialist for all four years because he kicked off so deep into and out of the endzone, made three FGs over 60 yards in high school, and the guy was the starting punter for FSU for three years. Gano has talent that needs to be given a serious chance. Oh and he made 90 percent of his FGs last year in college including five over 50 yards long. His only two misses were from 50 and 52 yards away. Why isn't this guy on an NFL team???

How many free safeties are they going to tryout?

Read my mind.

Replacing the kicker when you have much bigger problems on your team is such a Norv move.

Landry has lost us games. Suisham hasn't.

Suisham has won us games. Landry has done nothing since being drafted here but pose and flex.

Oh well.

At least we will get to have Nick Novak back, he of the fifty percent fg convert rate and still get to watch Landry give up big plays, miss tackles and prance around like a moran.
