Graziano's take on the decision - looks like a kickoff move as much as a FG move.

Hope it works out.

Makes perfect sense to me. Ganooooooo gave me a heart attack everytime he came on the field. He had no confidence. He was less than 50%b between 30-39 yds. Just terrible

With this many Extremeskins poster against the move, it might be the best move possible.

I think you might be on to something there

competition is good.

i got flashbacks of sean squeezem... choking at the most inopportune time

Fox 5 is reading that Cundiff was signed as competition, not a replacement?

[justice98]

Rackers is better than both of 'em, he should've been the kicker all along, don't much care if he's 36. That young kicker thing didn't carry much weight with me. John Kasay's in his 40s still drilling kicks from 50+.

...so what do you then make of the ´we love RGIII deal´ here? XD Has to end bad when we all the majority agrees it was a good move?

I love that. Brings so much extra excitement to the game.

Althought Beck and Grossman where a little bit to much excitment for me.

Surely we don't need every one of the 75 spots and could have kept both on board for a final week of competition?

[Audible_Red40]

Damn, what a surprise.

I fell bad for Gano, wish him all the best. Guess I will not be taking him on my fantasy roster this weekend.

[RSanz]

I HATE this move. First move in the Shanahan era that I seriously, unequivocally think is STUPID and short-sighted.

Hate it. Terrible move. We will regret this move in 2 years. Mark it down.

Wow. I mad.

[Darth Tater]

Yea that one kinda surprises me

Signing Cundiff surpirsed me but once I heard that we were looking at Cundiff, you had to know that Gano was gone.

[justice98]

Yup-

On Redskins' kickers: Past 2 years, 53.8 pct of Cundiff's KOs have been touchbacks. Gano, 27.8 percent.

I don't hate this as much as I did at first.

I'd love to see some stats on our kickoff coverage team. To see how big the difference was between the 20 and wherever our opponents avg start position was.

Competition... against whom? Is Rocca kicking field goals now?

[DaSkinzBaby]

Cundiff is an upgrade. Gano has a stronger leg but he isn't and wasn't consistent. Every time he kicked you didn't know what would happen. This isn't about the blocked Field Goals either, it's about having a good veteran that is a upgrade period. The only reason the Raven's cut him was to save money. The rookie kicker they have now from University of Texas is a monster and it's nothing but cost savings on the Raven's part. They need to get money put a side for Flacco!!

[lou4gehrig]

It's a kicker and we're not a playoff team. Does it really matter? The board is going to crash over Gano? Wow, just wait until nex week when Cooley is released.
