Graham "onions" Gano

I'm not feeling the "onions" thing.

I am feeling this is the best kicker we have had in more than a decade.

People want clutch? This guy has veins of ice in the biggest games he has played in.

In that UFL championship game....he kicked the game winning field goal, in overtime no less.

In FSU's bowl game....he was the MVP on a team that put up a bunch of points.

It is rare to see a kicker/punter named as the MVP when the offensive output is so high in a single game.

He is the real deal, Holyfield. Much like when we signed Hunter Smith, our talent level just increased dramatically.

I don't get it. If he were so good, then why is he available?

Only thing I can think of is that every team other than us already has a kicker who is solid and consistent. When I think about it, there aren't too many teams with kicking issues.

I know the Dallas kicker has been struggling, I'm sure they'll be doing a kicker search here soon.

Same reason that Akers was available after the Skins cut him. Hopefully this fella turns out to be a solid kicker like him.

Well, Akers was only available for a hot minute if I'm remembering correctly.

Wasn't Gano on the Ravens and people were begging for us to sign him? I'm just wondering why the Ravens didn't keep him. Is their kicker that fantastic?

I guess they opted to go with the vet over the rookie..

Hauschka is 9 of 13 with a long of only 44.. Ok I guess..

Kinda excited to see what Gano can do for us still..

He took over FG duties his senior year at Florida State. He missed his first career attempt, a 50 yarder. Then he proceeded to make his next 18 in a row. He finished the year making 24 of 26 field goals. His only misses were from 50 and 52 yards. At one point he made 5 straight attempts over 50 yards.

(He also was an accomplished punter, and was a kick-off specialist.)

He was definitely the real deal in college. He's been bounced around now as a pro (Baltimore, Las Vegas of the UFL).

It's not unreasonable to hope this guy stops the Redskins revolving door at the kicker spot. But I thought Durant Brooks was a can't miss too, so I'm not holding my breath.
