And the skins fans are livid that they gave Gano the boot (no pun intended) for a journeyman kicker who's been on 9 teams in 12 years.

Gave Rackers the boot. Gano is still on team correct?

From Gano's tweet less than an hour ago looks like he's gone also.

I would like to thank the Redskins organization for the 3 years I spent with them. I will miss my teammates and I wish you the best of luck!

[cursona pirate]

YES!!! Good job Cundiff. Lol I'm
Gonna be a little worried when we play him. He might be a little pissed.

I would have taken Rackers over Billy. Rackers missed a 54 yarder in pre-season and had a better year than Billy last year. Don't expect Billy to make that 54 yarder.

I think he would make them if he ain't rushed.

They should have stuck with Gano who actually was a decent Kicker for them. All well, maybe Gano ends up somewhere else and beats the Redskins in a game this year lol.

[Corvus]

I think its funny that Gano missed 10 kicks last year, but 5 of them were BLOCKED. When does a team get blocked that much in a season, its unheard of to me anyway. Sounds Shanahan shouldn't be playing the blame game and shoring up his special teams because that is ridiculously porous for any kicker to have to kick behind. I wish Billy luck because he's gonna need it with that overrated guy as his head coach. Its getting closer to two decades since he was winning Super Bowls with Elway, Montana, and Young and people still think he is great because of that. Just my opinion though...again, I wish ya the best of luck Billy.

Skins love signing our cast offs every single off season

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Actually pretty cool for him. Doubt he has to move his family far if at all. I hope he does well there besides when he plays us

Gano is gonna blow Billys car up, lol. That's twice now he's been replaced by the same guy.

But we got ex-Texans on Off, Def, and ST.. so it's all good lol

[cobrajet]

Very interesting. I have never been impressed by a kicker more than that one season Neil Rackers had in Arizona. I won my fantasy football league because of him. Well Billy has to be feeling a little better and he does not have to move very far (if at all).

I'll wish Cundiff some luck and look forward to seeing him this year.
This will likely be his only season there. I do know that he didn't have to move far if at all.
The Gano thing should be fun, seeing as he also has a history with the Ravens.

When we go on signing frenzies it can be 2 or 3 guys from one team, but it's all in the same season. Teams like the Skins and Jets go after our castoffs [i]every single offseason![/i]

Don't forget the Chargers too!
They have Jarrett Johnson, Antwan Barnes, LeRon McClain, Jared Gaither, and probably a few more we don't remember.

I wonder what music Billy listens too. He could be a heavy metal drummer.

So Cundiff took his talents to Washington, huh? I was hoping for a special televised episode of his decision, too. Oh well. I'm happy for him and his family. I hope he stinks against us, though. I think he went to a good team, though. I like what they are doing in Washington.

I have a few friends who are Skins fans and they are happier than a pig in slop.
( nice pun eah ? )

[cursona pirate]

I found this article. Science of kicking and snapping a football.
Cundiff I guess trains with really loud music when kicking. I'm sure he ain't the only one.
