Does Suisham worry you?

[steelerdude15]

Yes, this needs to be addressed in the off season.

I would have never signed Suisham.

Kris Brown is even better than Suisham

Reed sucked ass and was no longer anywhere near being clutch (see the horrible shank of a chip shot against NE last year for one example), which is why he was sent packing. There is a very good reason why Reed is currently unemployed. That being said, I'm quickly losing faith in Suisham as well.

True but if given the choice, I would feel more comfortable with Reed kicking it in..

Until he misses a kick. Then the criticism comes pouring in, just as it did last year. Just as it does with any kicker.

Yea well with Suisham I feel we might as well flip a coin for the 3 points. Reed has missed a few too but he was more consistent IMO.

Suisham has had some tough kicks too. Yesterday was a perfect example. 48 and 51. We're forgetting he hit the 51 yarder, too in a big spot for us.

Only as a field goal kicker.

Otherwise no.

lol. "ONLY?"

i guess kicking field goals is the least important duty of a kicker

[NCSteeler]

I'm not going to waste my time reading this whole thread, way too many posts about a kicker. No way you keep head case Reed and yeah Suishi has got to go. No one including any of the coaches has faith in him outside a 35-40 yarder and there is no guarantees on those either. We will not win big close games until we replace him.

Kris Brown is even better than Suisham

Have you been smoking crack? Kris Brown was terrible. He was making about 66% of his attempts when we let him go. He missed 14 field goals in a single year, for god's sake. Suisham is struggling right now, but he's still not approaching that level of awful.

Listen, I'm not sold on Sushi as the long-term answer either, but it's nowhere near the same. He's basically the definition of an average kicker in all respects. That's way better than the shit parade we had before Reed. Still worth trying to see if we can do better, because he's only average. But if we don't come up with a replacement this offseason, I don't think it's a full-on crisis.

Reed was solid for the Steelers for many years. He was money. He lost it last year and when a kicker loses his confidence, it's over.

Speaking of which, I wonder what Shayne Graham is doing right now? It doesn't look like he's on the list. Always wondered why we didn't go for him when we had the chance.

Ravens just signed him.

[steelreserve]

Ravens just signed him.

Wow, signed him today, no less. Well, there goes that idea.

[XxKnightxX]

No need for debate, he sucks . Kickers are supposed to make FGs , specifically in the big moments and theyre even more glorified in the playoffs. He didnt have the vote of confidence from Tomlin against the Ravens, he missed one in the Super Bowl, and he missed one with the shot at the Number 1 seed . Just with the hesitation and worry of Tomlin sending him out there shows that hes just a guy waiting to get cut. Check out some of those UDFA rookies, or work some out, Just dont ever sign that kid from Oregon in the future lol.

No. would love to draft a K in 3rd or 4th . Power Kicker . What ever happened to swayze waters?

Yes he made the 51 which is not an easy kick but I think I speak for most when I say I was more surprised that he made the one FG then I was when he missed the 48.

Reed was solid for the Steelers for many years. He was money. He lost it last year and when a kicker loses his confidence, it's over.

Did you see Suisham on the sidelines Monday night? He certainly didn't look confident to me. He looked lost/scared out there. I certainly don't think Reed is a top 10 kicker or anything and I'm definitely not a Reed lover but if I was coach and had them both sitting on the bench, Reed would get the nod to kick the ball before Suisham did.

Now, in all fairness.. if I was responsible for the well being paper towel dispensers, napkin holders, or anything else.. I would definitely feel more comfortable with Suisham on my side than Reed.

You mean the "Norwood" look? Absolutely.

I was shocked that he made that 51 yarder and not surprised when he missed the 48 yarder.

I'd pick Reed every day of the week over Suisham...even right now.

[NCSteeler]

He's 50% over forty yards, WOW. I thought he was bad, but damn that sucks.

I would assume whoever that is must be a porn star now.

[86WARD]

Gotta be a better option out there...I'd take Vanderjagt over Suisham...lol.

[GBMelBlount]

Yes, but on the bright side he has made 100% of half of his kicks over 40 yards!
