I'd like to see them bring in Ryan Longwell, but he may be too expensive.

Longwell since 2010: 70.6 FG pct outdoors is worst in NFL; 93.1 FG pct indoors is 4th-best in NFL (minimum 10 FG attempts)

He had a bad year in 2011, but he's still better than Suisham. If you want perfection from a PK, you're going to be looking for a long time, because you won't find it.

Wow...amazing to see a guy like Rayner is still around. Talk about a journeyman! 8 teams in 7 years, taking off 2009 completely, only averaging 8 games a year. At first glance, I'd say this guy is NOT the answer, but his competition IS only Suisham. I guess the advantage is that he can kick in the cold and snow?

wow if these are the best kickers we can bring in then those football parents should be pushing their kids to be kickers instead of quarterbacks growing up. seems like a much easier way to become a millionaire if you train your whole life to kick since your competition for a nfl job will be comparable to sushi and rayner

The kicker is the big weaknesses of the steelers right now...Shaun Suisham makes me so nervous before every kick and it's not even funny

Except for 2010,I was not nervous like that, when it was Jeff Reed our kicker

Reed only make paper towel dispensers nervous. Can't we find a Samoan kicker or a soccer player from the former East Germany?

Hell, at this point, we might as well bring in Mia Hamm just for the s&g.
