Great plan. Replace a kicker who can't make easy kicks with a...wait for it...kicker who can't make easy kicks! Might as well bench Folk and use Buehler IMO.

Folk and Suisham are roughly the same guy at this point, with the difference being, Folk once showed glimpses of pro-bowl play. I don't get this at all.

Effing stupid.

A scorned kicker that changes teams is dangerous. Definitely glad we've got Suisham instead of Folk right now.

I still wonder why we didn't give Buehler a chance at kicking FG's/XP's. Oh well, it's down to the nitty gritty come tomorrow. I just hope it doesn't come down to a kick from Suisham for the win.

I have about as much confidence in him as I did Folk. He was a former Cowboy so that probably was a factor in us signing him too.

I still don't trust him in winning games. I say give Buehler a shot. Geez! He has a very strong leg & shows that on kickoffs. Maybe he's not accurate enough but can't be any worse than Folk was with us this season.

They did.

Week before Folk was fired him and Bueler had competitions in practice, Buehler sucked hard.

I knew about the kicking competition in practice. I was referring to giving him a chance in game situations. Heck, it doesn't get much worse than the way Folk was kicking. Especially after the way Folk had proven to be a solid kicker in previous seasons.

It's really hard to understand how Folk went bad so fast. It started in the 2nd half of 2008 & then carried over to 2009.

I just wonder what we'll do about a long term kicker? Draft one like we did with Folk a few years ago. I just don't believe Shuisam is our long term guy. I hope he can prove me wrong though.
