Anyone else doesn't fully trust Gano?

IDK, ya'll need to keep the old addage about kickers in mind here. There are 2-3 AMAZING kickers, 2-3 TERRIBLE kickers and everyone else is interchangeable. Personally I dont think G-oh-no is in the top 2-3 kickers but he is FAR from being the worst. Do I really have to remind anyone of the post Kasay and Olindo Mare years?? Graham has a huge leg and can hit from anywhere on the field we just have to help him take the next step forward with his accuracy beyond 50 yds. If you can't get one of the top 2-3 the trading out Gano for another j.a.g. isn't going to solve any issues. Hes great at kickoffs, as reliable as it gets inside of 50yds and has a big leg... I'll take this one short coming.

Redskins buddy of mine went on and on about he will be perfect all day with no pressure, but the guy is a choke and will lose the game for you

[juliosantos]

has a great leg but he is not clutch at all , not the first game we lost because of his field goals 

[Cj72]

Personally I think this thread should be about jj. The snap was way off.

 

** not that I'm worried about either of them**

It was a bad snap and it affected the kick. He made the first kick before the timeout. After Ginn dropped the game winner against the Colts last year it was Gano who nailed the 52 yard FG in wet rainy conditions to win the game. 

poo happens. I am not going to freakout over the first game, especially a game that was as fuged up as this one,

This guy has been missing gobs of feild goals since last season. At some point you have to stop defending him because he's nice and wants to be our John Kasay. John didn't miss this many important field goals.

Our 2003 Super Bowl season Kasay hit 50% from 50 yards and beyond.  Hit 84% on the year.

2015 Gano also hit 50% from 50 and beyond on the same number of kicks and hit 83% on the year.

it was a 50 yard kick with a bad snap.  He missed.  It happens.  Much more concerned with our entire secondary being a liability vs the run and pass

Gano is not John Kasay but then again, good luck trying to upgrade the kicker. We tried that with the punter and if we hadn't caught a break with Andy Lee, we'd be in worse shape than last year.

Besides, the snapper and holder also have their responsibilities. If that side doesn't do their jobs well, how can the kicker?

[Panthers8969]

would've rather traded the 4th to the pats for gotskowski

[PhillyB]

gano's alright. keep in mind the snap was high and andy lee may not've gotten the ball placed down properly.

every time i think of a gano miss in a big situation it was usually the result of it being blocked - which fell on the shoulders of the blockers.

gano is fine

[Davidson Deac II]

A more important question is who could we replace him with that would be better.  Robbie Gould maybe, but he is 5 or so years older, and missed two extra points in preseason and a couple of clutch kicks last year.  Gano is good, not great, and I don't think any upgrades are available at this point.

I think we just called another time out.  Someone tell Ron and Cam you can't use them till next week.

Uhhh everyone here?

I get the frustration, but there is a reason so many teams change kickers like they change socks. The problem is, the probability of actually making the situation worse versus better is much higher than you think.

[Zithers]

didn't he kick two long clutch kicks against the colts last season? also on primetime and in the rain?

plus that giants game as well.

maybe some others idr.
