Suisham

You used to see the same threads about Jeff Reed when he was here. It's hard to be a kicker guys and great ones are very hard to come by. Even Vinatieri and Crosby choke from time to time.

Great ones are hard to come by? Well in Suisham's case I guess average ones are hard to come by also :rolleyes:

It's not that he misses, but that he misses some really huge kicks. This past weekend, the kick he missed would have iced the game, and although we won, the ball wound up in Brady's hands, down by only 6 with time running out. That's never a good combination.

Exactly. A kicker needs to deliver in high pressure situations and it feels like Suisham is not going to be that guy this year. I just hope that he can get his kicking together before it costs this team a game.

But he also just misses, too.
