http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3571 Recent articles about Shaun Suisham en-us Coach Jim Zorn has come under fire for so many things this season, it's sometimes hard to keep track of who's upset with him and about what. During the long delay in the final seconds of the first half in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, I received a lot of email from fans who hoped Zorn would take a shot into the end zone when play resumed. The Redskins were leading, 3-0, and Zorn, with no timeouts remaining, played it safe after the break, attempting a 39-yard field goal...

But after the Redskins' difficult 7-6 loss, Suisham spent time answering questions about his first two misses -- either of which could have won the game for the Redskins. "I feel awful," Suisham said. "The guys worked so hard today. You got a tight game like that, and you miss a couple field goals, it's very frustrating and ...

His attempt followed a long replay delay as officials overturned the ruling that Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell had stepped out of bounds at Dallas' 25. The reversal moved the ball to the 20. But even though he was five yards closer, Suisham missed left. Asked if it was tough to kick after the delay, Suisham said: ``It was differe...

Suisham came into the game a perfect 12-12 on the season, and continued his hot streak in the second quarter from 45 yards out. Then he missed from 39 after the end-of-the-half debacle, hit from 31 in the third, and -- the big one, to a lot of people -- missed from 50 in the fourth. And just like that, 12-12 turns into 14-16 -- and, more importan...

But Tony Romo & Co. came up with a late score to sneak by the Redskins 7-6 Sunday at Cowboys Stadium. Washington kicker Shaun Suisham was perfect on field-goal attempts entering Sunday's game, but his misses in Dallas proved costly. Suisham missed a 50-yard field goal attempt with 7 minutes, 6 seconds remaining in the game. The kick, which sail...

He's missed two today, including a 50-yarder with 7:06 to play that keeps the Cowboys in the game. He missed from 31 yards to close out the first half after that replay fiasco probably iced him, although he did kick some into the net during the break. Even taking over at their 40 yard line it makes you wonder if the Cowboys can do anything on this drive.

The big play was a 36-yard catch-and-run by Malcolm Kelly afterhe got away from Mike Jenkins. The Redskins helped the Cowboys out with a minus run (Igor Olshansky) and a false start penalty. But with how things are going this might be an insurmountable lead.

"I left him a voicemail. My wife told me it was on the w...

Could he go perfect for the whole season? "I'm not focused on that," Suisham said. "I'm just happy I could contribute, happy that we won." There was, though, one part of Suisham's game that was less than perfect. Normally reliable on kickoffs, he kicked two out of bounds on Sunday, twice giving the Broncos the ball at the Redskins' 40.

The Broncos entered the fourth quarter clinging to a narrow 17-14 advantage. Coach Jim Zorn will face plenty of questions over his decision to go for it on fourth-and-one from Denver's 28-yard line. It would've been a 45-yard field goal attempt for kicker Shaun Suisham, who's 10-for-10 on field goal tries this year. Instead Zorn kept his offense on the field. With less than a y...

But they still trailed the Falcons 24-3 at the break. The bad news is they've lost their starting running back and temporarily lost quarterback Jason Campbell. Campbell was sacked five times in the first half and on the fifth, he didn't get up. ...

Of course, that was because he performed admirably even when the position in question wasn't one that he usually plays. Or practices for.When Suisham was asked the last time he practiced a punt, he stopped, th...

It's a Canadian food, french fries plus gravy plus cheese curds, and I wound up running around talking to the players about who (Shaun Suisham) might want such a thing (Shaun Suisham). Well, for her "Lunch With Lindsay" segment this week, NBC-4's Lindsay Czarniak sat down with Suisham, and guess what dish she managed to to concoct for him.
