Matt Bryant Deserves The Q1 Hickry Stick Award


Recommended Posts

Let me first confess that I was in the cut Bryant camp. I was wrong. Many were wrong.

Roddy could very well win it and Lofton deserves some consideration but Bryant? Wow:

-kicked a walk off FG in two straight weeks (NO and SF)

-kicked three FGs in the opener against PIT

-8 of 9 on FGs and 10 of 10 on XPs

-leading all Falcon players with 34 points scored

Any questions?

i kept praying out loud for a TD, because i didn't want it to come down to a FG attempt. 1, i don't trust bryant. 2, i figured since we won last week by NO missing a FG, karma dictated we would lose this week by missing a FG. fortunately i was wrong. i am now gaining confidence in MB.

that's the way it should be. when you have the ball at the end of the game (or 1/2) you should feel like if you can get to the 35 or so, you're good.

I got one my friend. Please explain why when Matt Ryan does good everyone pats him on the back but when the Offense is doing bad it's Mike M's fault????? Does he or does he not call the plays in either case.?????

I'm sorry but what other QB marches us from the 10 yardline TWICE in under 2 minutes to win the game. Matt was certainly off today, but anyone who doubts that kid has what it takes to win can go #### himself.

What do you mean "We"? I was behind him since we picked him up last year.

Same here. I thought that Bryant did a solid job for us last year and more than earned the shot.

I posted all summer that I thought we would be in good shape with Bryant.

So far he's been excellent.

Even when people were complaining to cut him in the preseason after he missed a couple, I defended him. The Miami miss was because they were kicking on that horrible dirt infield. The other misses, he was just pushing a bit. Elam's misses the year before were pure shanks. I can deal with a kicker if he's making good contact, but if they're shanking it so the ball is spinning sideways, there's a big problem.

Glad there's more with a level head around here. :)

I'd be shocked if Bryant won. He is a kicker. He kicked two game winning FG's in Domes and not of too great of distance. I mean yes that is huge, but without Roddy then Bryant wouldn't have even had the opportunity to make those field goals.

How many kickers can make that kick? How many WRs can do what Roddy has done?

It isn't as automatic as it appears.....Ask Hartley from the Taints about that...

Having said that though, Bryant looks good to us all because he is coming right after the major suckage that was Jason Elam in '09.
