ATL Fan in the DMV Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Elam is cut first thing Monday morning. Either Matt Bryant or Brandon Coutu is signed immediately afterward in time for our practices for this week. That kicker will remain our kicker for the remainder of the season. If it is Coutu and he does well, he will be looked at as our longtime kicker.At least, that is what they SHOULD do. You gotta cut him now if for nothing else to prove to the rest of the players that unacceptable play like that is well, unacceptable.

Hotlanta Steve Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I think Matt Bryant would be good. He's proven. If he finished out the year for us, maybe we could identify the best kicker coming out of college and LOCK HIS @SS UP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Replacing Elam AIN'T gonna happen...in my opinion. I agree, we shouldn't give him the opportunity to "screw up" our playoff run by missing easy field goals. Short, but on line is one thing,....but wide left, is another...his accuracy just sucks this year! Too much money on the line here, too, and "a bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush"...meaning, I don't think they'll bring an unproven kicker in, to replace a (mostly) proven veteran, who may be able to work through his problems, if given the time. But do we have the time....that's the question.Guess we'll just have to trust TD and Smitty to do the right thing. They know who they have "in the wings", and what their options are, a lot better than we do.IN TD WE TRUST!!!GO, YOU DIRTY BIRDS!!!FalconJim.

Lord Dark Helmet Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Elam is a curse. Never sign a guy that scores that many points against you in a super bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkySorrOW Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I for once agree, kick Elam (no pun intended) and get Bryant or Coutu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRaines92 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Either sign Brandon Coutu to a long term deal or sign Matt Bryant for the rest of the season and sign the best kicker coming out of college and sign him for 25 years! I am with you Hotlanta Steve, keep the Georgia boy in Georgia if we sign him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
