aerosmith67 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 He's seriously one of the best punters and place holders in the league. He deserves this extension. Bryant might be great but when was the last time the hold was a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson's Finest Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good for Bosher. Field position is always a good thing...... except for when your punter can have a team pinned to their 1 yard line and the defense will still let them drive 99 yardsFIX THE F*CKING PASS RUSH ISSUES!!!

weezy01212 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I liked that we got him extended but I kind of laughed considering other areas of concern with the team. The conspiracy theorist in me wondered if this was to create cap room for a new signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theProf Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Atlanta Falcons extend punter Matt BosherSeptember, 17, 2014Sep 179:17AM ETBy Vaughn McClure | ESPN.comPunters often are overlooked in the NFL, but such isn't the case with Matt Bosher.The Atlanta Falcons appreciate Bosher's ability to have an impact on games, which is why they rewarded him with a contract extension.The Falcons signed Bosher to a five-year extension through 2019, as reported by ESPN's Field Yates. The deal includes a $2.5 million signing bonus and $5.95 guaranteed.The Falcons also extended long-snapper Josh Harris through 2018, according to Yates. His deal included a $500,000 signing bonus.Special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong emphasized Bosher's importance when he addressed the media following the season-opening win against New Orleans. Bosher was ESPN Stats & Information's punter of the week for his performance against the Saints."I think the best thing we did was Bosher really doing a good job of controlling the field position with the touchbacks," Armstrong said last week. "And I thought also he did a nice job of hanging the ball on punts. That kind of contained them with fair catches and that type of stuff. When you talk about coverage, we really covered one kick because Bosh was on fire and really did a nice job placing it and hanging it."Bosher has been consistent since joining the Falcons as a sixth-round draft pick out of Miami (2011)."He's done a really good job for us," Armstrong said of Bosher. "Very professional; works on it year-round. Tough is the one thing that jumps out with him. When I look for a kicker or punter, I'm looking for a guy that's not a typical kicker, but he's got some toughness to him. And he's got some legitimate toughness to him. He doesn't back down from anybody. That's kind of the guy we were looking for when we got him."He does a **** of a job for us on the kickoffs. As you know, he'll go down and cover as well. ...The other thing that nobody ever talks about is he's holding (on field goals), and he never did it before he got here."

Lornoth Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, we can punt the ball, I guess smittiot is planning on punting a lot the next 5 yearsI guess you would have preferred we eliminate the position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good for Bosher.

PrimitiveJN Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Love how he takes out a Jets coach/trainer after the play. Such a badazz.Not just any coach. It was BVG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 He's shown steady improvement to become one of the better punters in the league. Good idea to lock him up.DID YOU KNOW: The Falcons are currently 6th in the league in special teams DVOA? If we can just get the defense to not be a ******* tire fire, we'd have a real chance to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
