Two out three kickers we had in college smoked. I mean what the hell and they wonder why we did not consider them a part of the team. Don't get me started on the coaches son who was my highschool kicker.

All we ask them to do is to kick the damn ball and none of the smoking and general sorry behavior would matter.

Hell most lineman I knew could kick chip shots. It got so bad my sophmore year in college that our freaking starting QB had to kick, which pisses me off even more about Romo holding, because another kicker who don't have anything to do during practice can't do it better. I mean damn!

I was at a football camp in Texas and a couple of the Kickers were practicing FGs while holding water bottles in one hand. We were running gassers (suicides, or whatever else they are called) in the heat and they were on cruise control. I remember one of them smoking too. While practicing.

I hate them. I always wanted to be on Kickoff coverage teams so I could get a clean shot at one of them when I was at full speed.

If i were commish and had absolute power I'd say that kickers must be position players and play at least half of the teams offensive or defensive snaps--no more kicking specialists.

When I played on Teams, that crossed my mind but you will never get a shot on them because they know that many would kill to give them an out of body experience.

I don't understand kickers and smoking. Friends of mine that went on to play at different colleges said the same thing.

I really hope that Susy works out, I am hoping more that Susy won't be a factor because our team is dominating.

I do every time one of these sawed off midgets doink one. The Offense kill themselves to get the ball in range and then they make it moot.

It bothers me a whole lot more when the Offense kills themselves to get in position and the Kicker gets credit for winning the game.

This is the silliest line of thinking, I just don't get it? It reeks of chest-thumping, has-been, false bravado.

A: Kicking, be it the drop kick, extra point or FG, have been a part of the game almost since it's conception. Acting like it's NOT an integral part of the overall game, is asinine.

B: If the offense DID their job and scored, there'd be no need for a FG attempt, now would there?

C: I'm more than positive, 99.999% of the "sawed off midgets" active in the NFL today, could run circles around 99.999% of their detractors here athletically, any day and twice on Sunday.

Don't fret over me too much Wally. The stacks of Benjamins I got in the bank will keep me company.

In the spirit of the season, I say, we don't become negative. We all reach out to our fellow man and express our sincere gratitude for his effort. We forgive, we embrace and we move on.


Then we shoot him.

Bottom line is that we hired a guy who was fired for missing a chip shot field goal in addition to other misses.

We basically hired a guy who is a little less worse than our current guy.

To be a playoff team and be this weak at kicker is inexcusable to me. How hard can it be to find someone who can kick reliably from 20-40 yards away?

Have we checked all of the Shop-Rites and Piggly Wiggly's for their produce clerks and night managers? Sheesh!
Suisham was 12 of 13 at FedEx. He was fired for his only miss there.

He's 86% on the season, which puts him tied for 7th in the league among kickers with at least 20 attempts. Folk was kicking 64.3%, which puts him just ahead of Jason Elam as the second to worst kicker in the league.

Suisham was 13 of 15 (87%) inside 40 yards and 5 of 5 (100%) between 40 and 50 yards.

Folk was 5 of 12 between 40 and 50 yards.

"A little less worse?" That's an understatement. The Commanders are idiots for cutting the guy for that one miss.

You sound like a kicker.
