Sorry for the typos… Driving 75 mph and texting equals typos.

Excellent choice. As others have said, this kid looked awesome in training camp and preseason, but had the misfortune of trying out against Barth Vader.

Surprised Shanny went with basically a rookie.

Cundiff had to go though. He was about to replace Rod Gardner as the new “50/50″ in the Skins fan dictionary.

Every single Skins game has been in doubt pretty much right down to the final play, so they can’t afford the kind of atrocious kicking they’ve gotten.

Hope this kid is ready for what’s about to happen to him.

Never should have dumped Gano. Classless. And stupid.

He actually might have hit that ridiculous 62 yarder Shanny trotted Cundiff out for against St Louis.

Again Shannys ego is wrecking things. The man cannot admit when he is wrong.

Yeah but Kasay can barely reach the 20 on kickoffs.

This kid was great for us in preseason. Probably could have beaten out a lot of kickers around the league, unfortunately for him Connor Barth is on a pretty crazy streak right now. He should definitely be an upgrade over Cundiff though.

If the “Law of the Ex-Redskins” holds true, Billy Cundiff will go on to be a clutch kicker for another team. Hope he gets it together and gets another shot somewhere else.

In other news, DC area hospitals are predicting that a smaller number of heart attack patients will be admitted this weekend as the result of reduced fan stress during Redskins field goal attempts …

Why aren’t they looking at John Kasay? I don’t care if he’s 42, he’s reliable and still has good bit of leg in him(he hit a 48 yarder in the playoffs last year against the Niners).

I’m telling you right now… This guy is good… He nailed several 50 yarders in preseason – did’nt miss a single kick and punted for a 45 + yard average… Very nice upgrade over silly Billy.

Sounds good to me.

It’s nice to see them sever ties with both Cundiff and Gano.
