Shaun Suisham sure sounded worried.
“I only answer questions with my holder around,” Suisham said as he walked off one of the Steelers' practice fields Thursday to end Week 1 of organized team activities.
He was joking with that line. So was I with the one before it.
But the real joke is on the NFL because the PAT will continue to mark the professional game's unofficial break point for anybody who isn't actually trying to boot a football through the goalposts.
And that's because guys such as Suisham are way too good. For all of the talking points from NFL officials, GMs such as Houston's Rick Smith yapping about “adding skill to the play,” the point too easily ignored was the skill this league's kickers already display.
Extra points aren't easy. NFL kickers have made them look that way..............
