Shaun always seemed like a bit of a headcase, but knowing his head isn't on the chopping block constantly seems to have really let his talent come through. Looks like a good fit, and he's having a real good time out there.

Collingsworth was commenting how he was catching the snap with his chest instead of his hands. What do you expect? Shaun is not a punter. He had Ed Reed field one at the 5 that was called back, an like was mentioned earlier had one inside the 20. Shaun does seem more comfortable on FG 40 or longer.


As a Steeler fan, very happy to see Shaun in the black and gold :D

Word out of Baltimore is that Sepulveda tore his ACL for the third time. I would assume the Steelers sign a new punter for the rest of the year, but don't be surprised if they throw Shaun back in there if the new guy struggles.

I didn't see much of the game, but I did catch that scene after it was over. That's got to feel good for Shaun to have the head coach seek him out after a game like that. Congrats Shaun, keep up the good work (except when playing the Browns ;-) )

I think it had to do more with it being really really cold then anything. He was just being more cautious.

Not to nit-pick, but FWIW, I thought the on-screen graphic said Reed was 0-4. And oh yeah...he made a 44-yarder against GB yesterday for San Francisco...LOL

I'll trade Suisham field goals for Browns TD's.

Another ho-hum 3 for 3 day for Shaun in pretty crappy conditions in Pittsburgh. He's on fire right now.

Finished up the regular season 14/15 on field goals. Hopefully he keeps it up in the postseason and latches on with the Steelers for a long long time.

With his two fields goal today Shaun went over the century mark for his NFL career.

That is pretty darned impressive!! Well done Shaun!!!! :supz:
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Eventful day for Shaun. He made a huge tackle on the opening kickoff which may have saved a touchdown, then missed a 43-yarder left in the first half. There was a slight breeze pushing it, but it was to the closed end of the field, so I would call it a bad miss.

To his credit, he bounced back and buried a 35-yarder to break a tie early in the 4th. His kickoffs were solid all day except for the 2 or 3 he was told to squib. He must have been fired up because he was consistently getting it to the goal line, which was real nice to see.

I attended the Steelers game (vs Ravens) and none of the fans I sat around were bothered by Shaun's FG miss. In fact, after each of his PATs I heard a few fans call out his name "Way to go Shaun", "that's it Suisham", etc. Of course, I told as many folks as possible where he went to school.

It was a high snap as well, but he should have hit it. Jeff Reed would have been a matador on the opening kickoff. Shaun made a nice play
