Thread: Who are possible replacements for Cundiff? (My vote: Kai Forbath) Edit: Kai signs with team!

    Default Who are possible replacements for Cundiff? (My vote: Kai Forbath) Edit: Kai signs with team!

    I'm hoping this somehow catches the attention of the front office. (Hey, it happened with the Memphis Grizzlies signing of Gilbert Arenas, so why not?)

    Kai Forbath - 2009 Lou Groza award winner.

    Edit: He was actually not 9-13, he was 10-13 from 50+ yards in his career at UCLA. He made 40 field goals in a row under 40 yards as well.

    He spent the entire 2011 year on IR in Dallas.

    In the 2012 preseason, he was 5-5 including 2 from 40-49 and 2 from 50+. Ultimately, it was always Connor Barth's job, so he didn't have a chance to make the team.

    Who are some young, available free agents we could bring in to replace Cundiff?

    Edit to Update: It appears the Redskins have signed Kai Forbath per sources on Twitter. Officially confirmed.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...kicker-tryout/

    Kai just tweeted:

    Couldn't be more excited to join Redskins nation! #HTTR
    http://twitter.com/KaiForbath/status/255732756179451906

    So if anyone from the front office IS reading this, I've never been to a Redskins home game, but I've been a lifelong fan. Tickets for the suggestion? I'm just excited we have a legit young kicker.

    My sister knows how to kick me in the shins.

    Pretty sure she'd be better than Cundiff.

    Gano. People used to say how nervous they got when seeing him line up to kick a ~47 yarder. Now I can't even bank on a 31 yarder. Bring him back.

    I am fairly sure that Graham Gano is the best kicker available on the scrap heap. Sign him.

    Doesn't matter at this point.. I highly doubt there are many realistic options available.. Anything is better than Cundiff right now tho.

    I'm almost sure that any team's kicker will hit every field goal against us and our kicker will miss more times than not

    I like Neil Rackers and John Kasay (even though they're old)

    I felt the same way about Suisham as I do now with Cundiff. Suisham is perfect on the year so far........ Go figure.

    Oh and I wouldn't mind Gano kicking for us

    It is getting very old watching opposing kickers nail FGs from 50+ yards while our kicker pushes it wide inside the of 40.

    No idea who is out there but a change is needed. I would not go back to Gano though, we made a change which suggests there is not confidence in him so why go back?

    Sign Gano. Mainly because I just want Sportscenter to say Graham Ga-YES! again if/when he hits a game winner for us.

    Nope. Every other team's kicker seems to be automatic against us. And even when they aren't, Shanahan will call a timeout

    This guy Kai Forbath sounds pretty cool to me, OP. Coolest name ever also.

    I would go the boring and predictable route, call Graham and say we are sorry and that we made a mistake and sign him back with us. At least if we miss a 55 yarder, we at least know we had a chance at it.

    Neil Rackers? Graham Gano?

    The fact that either of those guys look like good options goes to show how bad Cundiff looks. Yikes!

    The press asked a Redskins executive about the salary cap penalty and the executive responded, "Ask John Mara." So the press asked Mara and he said, “What they did was in violation of the spirit of the salary cap. "

    Oh I see now, even though there was no actual salary cap in 2010 according to the CBA, the "spirit" of the salary cap still existed. Thanks for clearing that up Mara.
