SJFalcons Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Why should the falcons be sticking by Elam? History has nothing to do with current abilities and Elam has been missing consistently easy kicks. You could goto any large college campus have open tryouts and find several people who consistently make 40 and under but Elam is 5/10 for 30-49 yards. He has lost us games this season and possibly already cost us the playoffs. Enough is enough hire some nobody as he couldnt possibly do worse.

falken Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If Elam was the problem I would agree. It's the timing between the long snapper, the holder and the kicker that is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny Hartman Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There is no reason to keep Elam on this team. I'm sure there is someone out there on the FA market that's not as bad as he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Seriously though...did we really need another thread on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetUSom3 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've read stories that he is strong in practice hence the coaches are behind him.I will say it again: It doesn't matter if you can hit 150 consecutive 50 yard field goals everyday in practice, and miss the ones that count-we will lose the game. Practice Field Goals do not win NFL football games.Elam has served us well, and we appreciate it, but the time has come to part company.Honestly, I would be willing to roll the dice on some Arena League kickers at this point.

AtlFalc78 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If Elam was the problem I would agree. It's the timing between the long snapper, the holder and the kicker that is off.He had this problem with the "old" long snapper. It's Elam, not the hold, the snap which has been perfect from all camera angles, the goal post moving, the wind, sun in his eyes, dry eye, or whatever excuse anyone can come up with. Even Elam has said he doesn't have the reason.....Time to move on as 3 out of 5 games could mean a winning season or playoff slot vs sitting at home due to some **** curse. If we can get new CBs, RBs, etc - why not a kicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If Elam was the problem I would agree. It's the timing between the long snapper, the holder and the kicker that is off.I feel like calling BS on that...he didnt start missing when we got our new longsnapper. He's been garbage all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFalcon Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Seriously though...did we really need another thread on this?Yeah, they are getting kinda oldWe know mostly everyone's feelings whether Elam should still be here or not.
