I'd much rather have Hrappman. I do not feel confident at all if Sushi has to come in to kick a game winner.
And Sushi simply doesn't have the leg to kick in Heinz Field. Period.

Hrappman is cut. Just heard on 93.7.

Rackers, Cundiff and Josh Brown are among the veteran kickers that have been released. I've always liked Rackers, but he's getting up in years and has been inside or in mild climates for a while. Could be worth a look.
Got a text confirming he's been cut. Looks like another season of Suisham.Originally Posted by kindlecatsb'ng
Noooooooo!
Neil Rackers has been cut in Washington.
YES PLEASE!
The Redskins cut both Neil Rackers and Graham Gano and signed ex-Raven Billy Cundiff.
My post-combine mock draft:
1. NT Louis Nix, Notre Dame
2. TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
3c. S Deone Bucannon, Washington State
4. OT James Hurst, North Carolina
5. WR Jeff Janis, Saginaw Valley State
5c. CB Walt Aikens, Liberty
6. DE Deandre Coleman, California
7. ILB Max Bullough, Michigan State
Gano was 31 of 41 in 2011 with a long FG of 59 yards...he also had a better pct. of touchbacks than Suisham. Maybe he is worth a quick look?
from an article I read, 5 of those 10 misses were blocked. Had he hit all 5 of those, 36/41 would be a very solid season. The only questions is whether they were blocked due to bad kicking trajectory or terrible blocking???
I found video of a blocked FG and XP against the Seahawks and also a blocked FG against the Colts. On all three the right side of the line just got blown up and the kicks were easily blocked. Certainly can't fault Gano for those, and if it was that bad 3 times, it likely was that bad 3 more.
