    Suisham is not a good kicker

    I said it at the end of last year that I had no confidence in this guy if a game was on the line and it's still true. It's abssurd for him to miss that last one. They are in a dome. He is anti-clutch.

      3 out of 4 FGs including 44 and 48 yarders and then the 38 yard game winner.

      I'll give him a pass for the one that hit the left upright...

          No change of heart. He's not good (that's why he's been on 6 teams). That first miss was absurd in a dome. And no one can tell me (or at least I wouldn't believe them) that they had total confidence he was going to hit a 38 yarder to win it. At least when the "Sheetz Destroyer" was kicking here you didn't have to worry about routine FG's for many years.

            He is a good kicker he is not a great kicker. Reed was let go for his missed fg's. This kid does the job for the pay he is getting. Or we can try and trade Mendy for Janakowski im all for that move.

                If the ball hadn't slightly tailed he would had made the one that hit the post. He may not be great, but he is not a bad kicker.

                  Can he play tackle?

                    I actually thought one of the defensive players might have gotten a finger on his missed kick.
                    He missed one last week and one tonight. He is not a good kicker but probably just average at best.

                      Sushi's a weak link, but he's hardly the weakest. With the way both the OL and the DL have played, I doubt we will see many games decided by FGs this year.

                        It was true in September and it's still true today. This guys sucks. If it's over 30 yards te Steelers should just go for it on 4th down. Does he even practice?

                            I've said this since they signed him. The more important the kick the greater chance that he'll miss it. Given the Steelers penchant for playing close games he is going to cost us. I just hope it doesn't happen in the playoffs.
                            As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

                            but Go Steelers!!!

                              This guy is supposed to be a professional and I would have to guess his stats prove differently. Missing a 33 yard field goal is not what you want from a kicker.
                              When will the Steelers be upset enough to start trying out other kickers ? They did it with Skippy.
