What kickers are available?

[Beast_from_East]

Elam............cost the Falcons at least 2 games this year with misses.

Sushiam........cost the Skins wins against us and the Saints.

Folk..............His head is totally ****ed now, that last kick was like a PAT.

Buehler.........The coaches say his is just as bad, 1 of 4 in practice under 30.



I really dont know what we do, all I know is that a playoff team without a kicker is ****ed!!!!

The UFL's season just finished. Just bring in the best kicker from that league .. at least you know he's been practicing and competing and probably has a hot hand. That seems to be what 80% of kicking boils down to anyway. It's not like the difference in talent level from the UFL to NFL means anything for a kicker. His only competition is the uprights.

Graham Gano .. made 13 out of 16 attempts in the UFL. Long of 53.
Matt Bryant was 11 for 14.
Douglas Parker .. 7/10, long 44

The Commanders signed Bryant when they cut Suisham.

If we sign someone, I'm thinking it might be Suisham. He was here before, and he was perfect this season up until a few weeks ago. And he's still 18-for-21 after missing three (and making six) in a three-game span.

Damn Adam, you've been slippin lately... what's up?

P.S., I'm all for signing Suisham.

There's NO WAY we can stick with Folk after yesterday. That was the nail in the coffin.

Keep in mind we don't need a kicker with a strong leg. We have our kick off guy. We just need a FG specialist. That makes it easier to find a guy.

We could get some old guy.

 

[Achozen]

I would bring back Grammatica.

No. I don't want Romo to hold for him.

 

[DaBoyz73]

Ok, I know I will get flamed for this....but I would bring back Vanderjagt......

Gano was signed by the Skins.

For those who balk at carrying three kickers, would you rather have a CB who never sees the field make the trip or would you rather see the Cowboys potentially winning a close game?

There's no way in hell we're carrying three kickers.

We'd hear Hos' head explode all over the country and maybe even Canada :laugh2:

 

[Garland powerplay]

bring back Gramatica so Romo can hold for the game winner in playoffs to eliminate the invisible elephant.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Give Beehler a shot

All he has to do is scream at the ball and it will go 50 yds

 

[AmishCowboy]

Bring in Suisham (18 of 21 this season). Cut the extra defensive back we're carrying, Cletis Gordon. Make Folk inactive for games.

That way we can see how Suisham does, and hang on to Folk just in case or even for competition next preseason (depending how injuries shake out for the rest of the season).

I know some will say keeping three kickers is ridiculous, but what are we really losing by having him inactive in place of Gordon or one of our other inactives, right now.

Not a bad idea!

 

[lspain1]

If Buehler can't do it then Suisham seems like the best candidate. I think you have to do something this week.

 

[Wrangler87]

Suisham would be good for at least the next game against the Commanders.

The Commanders cut him so he will be motivated. And he has kicked in Washington's field the whole year.

I though Suisham was kicking great this year until the game against us

 

[Avery]

He was - he choked against us and then against the Skins and was cut.

His choking has been shorter-lived than Folk's choking.

 

[Garland powerplay]

what about morten anderson? He will at least make it 90% in red zone.

How old is he now?
