More Complete Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The rib injury happened at the end of the game so his misses cannot be blamed on health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABSTRACT Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 SHanny already said Gano is the future kicker of this team because he is young and has alot of potential to be on the best. Remember David Akers??? He's just bringing in kickers because Gano has an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember David Akers??? He's just bringing in kickers because Gano has an injury. For the love of Pete... David Akers kicked ONE game for us. ONE. O-N-E. Scott Blanton was the kicker in '98. He kicked the first two games. He also kicked for us in 96 and 97. He struggled, he was let go. We sign rookie David Akers. He misses two field goals. We cut him, especially because Cary Blanchard, who wasn't a stud by any means but was more proven than a rookie who was 0/2 was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Janky Spanky Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If he has been struggling with a rib injury it explains why all of his kicks have been pulled. Pain could restrict his movement. I think he got hurt on the last play of the Bucs game when the snap was botched. Gano ran after the ball and a Bucs defender fell on him. In the replays it looked like he got hurt there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botched Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 For the love of Pete...David Akers kicked ONE game for us. ONE. O-N-E. Scott Blanton was the kicker in '98. He kicked the first two games. He also kicked for us in 96 and 97. He struggled, he was let go. We sign rookie David Akers. He misses two field goals. We cut him, especially because Cary Blanchard, who wasn't a stud by any means but was more proven than a rookie who was 0/2 was available. I hear ya It's getting kind of old hearing Akers' name used as a reason why we should never release another kicker ever again. At this point I haven't seen anything from Gano that would lead me to believe he's any good. I thought Suisham sucked, and as far as I can tell, Gano is worse. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 44 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 For what it's worth.....During gano's post game interview with KJ on comcast Gano stated that he initially hurt his ribs in the game against Detroit and has been "rehabbing" the ribs ever since. He stated that he reaggravated the ribs during the botched extra point at the end of the game. Gano also said that during pregame warmups he had his best warm up session of the season and was booming them from over 50 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andboom Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 We all know Gano has certainly not been the best for us. I don't think that means we should can him. He is young, with great leg strength. I would almost bet that his accuracy is fine in practice situations. That means he has 2/3 of the equation. Accuracy and leg strength. All he needs to add to that is confidence/nerves. He needs to quit being scared to miss. People miss it happens. Heck even Favre missed a game (finally). Will we blame you when you miss? Sometimes. Will your confidence that you can make every kick make you better? Absolutely. No problems with a young Gano. Go out there and do your job. No more no less. Kick the ball, don't try to win games.

theivorhick Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Gano should stay, but he needs to stop thinking God has something to do with his ability to kick a ball. Was this really necessary?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Was this really necessary?? Sadly man, the message board culture is to type and hit enter before engaging brain 9 times out of 10; and worry about any potential offence caused/ consequence after the fact. Hail.

VRIEL1 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I read the article but no where does it say who they may be bringing in. On another site Novak's name came back up. lol. Any idea who they may be trying out in case Gano can't kick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
