atljbo 21,738 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 http://www.myfoxcolorado.com/myfox/pages/S...TY&pageId=6.2.1i really think that our new GM does not want to us a pick on a kicker in this draft...maybe in 2 or 3 years but not now...i think that he has players in mind that he want with that late round pick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petrino is NOT my hero 2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Perfect for this franchise... another over the hill kicker... whats his distance like these days? .... btw Couto in the 5th or 6th would be better... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconfansince66 3,740 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I thought he retired. I guess he and Mort could come and load up on Geritol and battle it out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dF 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 grendel (3/14/2008)Even if his range is only 80% of what it was, he can still hit from 50 yards I would have to think kicking in Denver helps his range though.Elam was a premier kicker just a couple years ago, I wonder what kind of salary he could command?I would really like to see a long-term option brought in, but don't want to see any draft pick prior to the 6th round spent on a kicker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IHateThe Cowboys! 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think it would be a good somewhat cheap fix for a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atljbo 21,738 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 if we cant sign elam....i think that TD will use a 7th round pick on a kicker or a UDFAP.S We was at GT pro day to check out there kicker Travis Bell who made 14 of 17 FG attempts, including 1 of 2 from 60-yards (UDFA) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

g-dawg 43,357 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 this article does not say that Jason Elam is visiting the Atlanta Falcons at all......it just SPECULATES that maybe Elam might want to play in Atlanta...Jason Elam Likely to Become a Free Agent Last Edited: Thursday, 28 Feb 2008, 8:51 PM MST Created: Thursday, 28 Feb 2008, 8:51 PM MST Broncos kicker Jason Elam talks to FOX 31's Eric Goodman as he leaves Denver International Airport on a trip to the Middle East. January 29, 2008.SideBarRelated ItemsLinksBy ERIC GOODMAN, FOX 31 Sports DirectorThe greatest kicker in Broncos history is about to become free agent. Jason Elam told me Thursday night the Broncos have not offered him a contract and he doesn t expect anything by the 10:00 MDT deadline. My agent and the Broncos talked today, but nothing worth reporting. Elam said at 8:45 Thursday night. Elam, who is one of the last links to the Broncos Super Bowl titles, kicked 4 game winning field goals this past season.If the Broncos don t eventually make him an offer, the 37 year old would consider retirement. He is hesitant to move his family out of Denver, although, he would consider playing in his hometown of Atlanta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

somecut8 2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 he's been so streaky recently. has bad accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 So we should sign a kicker that is aging instead of drafting a promising one? Sorry but this would be a bad move. I rather just keep Mort tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the outlaw 18 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd be happy with Elam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcoholic (The Commish) 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Elam was a top 10 kicker last year (nfl.com stats). 4 game winning FGs, 100% 0-40yds, 75% 40-49 yards, 50% 50+ yards.I'll take that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wleggett 625 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I know this will get flamed but Brandon Coutou seemed pretty **** good. He hit one for 52 yards in the Sugar Bowl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UGA_DAWG46 1 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Elam or Coutu would be a great pick up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcons Ace 279 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Morten Anderson is 100% when kicking under 48 yards, so if we cannot find anything better than that I don't want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
