HouseofEuphoria Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) Matt Bryant.The guy can kick as good as anybody available to pick up.He at least deserves a full camp to prepare himself for the season. Guy has been through alot and i kinda have a soft spot for him. I hope he does well.edit: ok, so i kinda voted with my heart, but looking at the list of FAkickers i dont see any better alternative.

slamee101 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I don't see why Bryant is such a question mark, the guy can kick and had range from what I remember. He was good for us late last year...I say stick with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozoatl Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Gotta go with Bryant. He's had some tremendous personal issues, then I think a physical problem. Now he is past that, and if he returns to his form that he had at TB, he is the best choice, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant still brings a lot to the table, but a few key misses could have me singing a different tune, once we get through with preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigSmackDaddy Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant. I was really hoping we would have given the guy from UGA a shot though. Can't remember his name right now but we worked him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant, but I would love to find a guy who can kick a 50+ yarder consistently with the game on the line ...someone like Vanderjagt or Vinateri in his prime ..is that too much to ask for ? .........

bozoatl Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant. I was really hoping we would have given the guy from UGA a shot though. Can't remember his name right now but we worked him out.You're probably thinking about Brandon Coutu. A lot of people were campaigning for him, and he did have a good career at Georgia. But, strangely, he didn't get a lot of attention. The Seahawks signed him and kept him on the roster for a year, but I don't think he ever played. They cut him after last season, and as far as I know he's currently out of football. Must have been something that everyone saw, cause other than SEA, he didn't get a sniff.

sharky Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would like for us to bring back Garrett Landholm. This dude has a big time leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconTough Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant, dont know what we'd give up in a trade for a top kicker... Draft pick I guess but I doubt the team on the other team would want to ditch their all-star kicker quarterway through the year (if we trade during season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zee Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bryant seems the most logical option however I'm not at all opposed to seeing what Hauschuka brings. He kind of reminds me of Matt Prater. Prater had the booming leg but couldn't put it through the uprights consistently but a change of scenery did wonders for him. Hopefully, Hauschuka situation will be similar and he can turn out to be a solid and reliable kicker for us (he's a lot younger so if he has his head right, he can be here a lot longer than Bryant).

k-train Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would like for us to bring back Garrett Landholm. This dude has a big time leg.Not really. You are just saying that because you saw a youtube video of him kicking a long FG. You should watch the other youtube vid of him where he's at kicking combine. He's kicking with no pads, no pressure, and still sending them wide from every distance more often than he should.Bryant is far and away our best option for this season.

Capitalist Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Put your head in the sand... Say it is only pre-season...But these kickers WILL cost a game, maybe two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalist Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Any Bryants huggers ready to jump off the "he's a great kicker bandwagon" yet?If not, you will be soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Can't pick from that list, but I will say bring back Lindholm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitalist Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Keep drinking the kool-air, say he slipped...But professionals can make a PAT on snow and ice...We NEED a quality kicker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitalist Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Absolutely...The BEST thing for this team is to get a top 25% kicker... Instead of a bottom 25% kicker reject...I HOPE Bryant makes every PAT and FG attempt...But I KNOW that he will miss a crucial FG that costs us a game or maybe even the playoffs....

rcky_mtn_falcon Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Actually the best option was not in the poll question. Sign which ever kicker Houston cuts loose.Kris Brown or Neil Rackers, at this point I would rather have either one of those guys.Next year draft the best kicker in the draft and lets stop having these **** kicker problems.

Capitalist Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 May need to start a new poll or a thread that can get bumped frequently...But either of them is better than this reject...But we still need a long term solution...

Romfal Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 idk if you guys noticed but Hauschka was 4/4 for Detroit in preseason week 2(and yes I know his longest was 29)...lets see how he does tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Risin Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I think we need to start looking at the holding and make sure the problem isn't there before we continue taking proven vets and kicking them out the door because they are all having the same problem.
