    - This was yet another kick-off that had very little return.

    The Washington Redskins' duel of the kicking Grahams, which was supposed to provide some special teams drama throughout the preseason, lasted all of one game thanks to a sudden wild streak from one of the most reliable veterans of all time.

    Shayne Graham was cut by the Redskins on Sunday, two days after he shanked a 29-yard field goal attempt and also missed a 49-yarder in Friday's 16-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    The move leaves incumbent Graham Gano, who ranked last in field goal accuracy in the NFL last season, as the only kicker in training camp. Gano hit from 32, 34 and 45 yards against the Steelers.

    "We haven't solved our kicking issue," special teams coach Danny Smith said. "He had a good game at 3 for 3 with a guy that wasn't very productive. We made a decision to let that guy go. We did find out coming out of that game that Shayne Graham wasn't the guy. We didn't prove the point that we're solid at kicker yet."
