The Washington Redskins release Scott Suisham
The Redskins have released 27-year old kicker Scott Suisham in kind of a knee jerk reaction to his missed game winning field goal last week against the Saints. Suisham played in 12 games for the Redskins this season and he connected on 18 of 21 field goals (85.7%) and 20 of 21 extra points which was good for 74 points. In his six years in the NFL, Suisham played in 55 games in which he has made 85 of 107 field goals (79.4%) and 96 of 98 extra points which is good for 351 points. The Redskins have signed 22-year old Graham Gano who was a good kicker in college at Florida State but he is a unproven player in the NFL so the jury is out on him.
Another boneheaded decision by Redskins management. Suisham was a good solid kicker. Yes, he missed an easy chipper against N.O, but canning him and replacing him with a nobody is not going to save either the team or Zorn.
I agree with you. Suisham was not the only reason the Redskins lost to the Saints who by the way are 13-2 on the year.
