He is becoming Mr. Automatic (from inside the 50).

Sometimes the FO makes mistakes by keeping people too long and I thought perhaps they had in this case.

I was mistaken.

I'd give the AFC spot to Phil Dawson of the Browns at the moment. But just by a whisker. Like Suisham he's only missed one fg all year. But I give him the edge because he's 5-5 from 5o+.

Of course the argument for Suisham is that he's kicked 3 game winners and being on a playoff contender there's more pressure on him to make his kicks.

A perfect example of what difference pressure can make is ex Steeler kicker (Merry) Kris (miss) Brown. Anyway after Brown thankfully punked his way out of Pittsburgh he went to Texas. As long as the Texans were irrelevant and his kicks were pressure free he was lights out and performed as a All Pro quality kicker. But as soon as the Texans started to win games, and his kicks were potentially difference makers he started shanking them all over the lot.

Quite truthfully he may be the ex Steeler I respect the least.

Anyway back to Phil Dawson. I don't think this holds true of him. He could kick on my team anyday. And while neither he or Suisham will probably end up as the AFC's Pro Bowl kicker ( Scobee will get the vote) both are very deserving as of now.
