What makes me the most frustrated with the Redskins is that coming off the worst season among kickers in the NFC in 2008, the only competition Suisham faced in 2009 was Dave Rayner, a journeyman who had no real resume as a regular kicker in the NFL.
You would figure if the team took special teams seriously they would have brought in more legitimate and veteran competition.
I don't understand it either. The team clearly wanted to replace Suisham in the off-season and that's who they brought in to do it? Thanks again Vinny.
Special Teams play is no joke, especially with a team like ours who figured to be in a lot of close games. We don't need to go out like we did a couple of years back and waste a draft pick on a kicker. We need to get a good established vet to come in and solidify the position, not some re-tread or never-was from another team. I can’t believe there weren’t better options available in the off-season. Choking on a 55 yarder is one thing but from 23? Inexcusable.
