Dharma Initiative Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Just got a tidbit from a very reliable league source. The Atlanta Falcons worked out four kickers on Tuesday. They had Brandon Coutu, Sam Swank, Shane Andrus and Steve Hauschka in for workouts. This is highly interesting because the Falcons have veteran (and Georgia native) Jason Elam as their kicker. The league source said no moves are imminent and the Falcons plan to stick with Elam this week. But the team apparently is assembling a list of possible replacements.That’s not a bad idea because the normally-reliable Elam hasn’t been very accurate on field goals this season and has been listed on the injury report much of this year.----------------------------------------------------SERIOUSLY??? WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO STOP THIS INSANITY???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vent King Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Can't believe this is the same guy who was money last year and was adored BY ALL here on this msgb after that Bear's game. Now he can't kick a dead man in the azz. What a difference a year makes... Edited November 25, 2009 by DBFever2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmite Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm sure they're hoping the tryout of 4 kickers lights a fire under Elam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZFalcon Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 What happens if Elam goes 2/2 in the next game i still want him gone he makes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truebyrd Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm sure they're hoping the tryout of 4 kickers lights a fire under Elam. or puts a little spark back into his foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Like someone else stated, Elam is a class act, but the guy stays hurt a lot now, and is past his prime. I think it's time for him to retire, and get to know the wife and kids again.Now, from what little I know about the kickers they brought in, Coutu seems to be the best. What think ye?GO, YOU DIRTY BIRDS!!! FalconJim. Edited November 25, 2009 by FalconJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000# Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Lets trade a first round pick for the Texans kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 If ELeft blows a kick against the Bucs and we lose I'm personally gonna pull TD out of Blank's box and stomp on his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
