Falcons Fan MVP Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm not trying to over react but I think we would all feel the most comfortable if Matt Bryant was our starting field goal kicker and italian ice was our back up kicker just in case Bryant pulls a hamstring. I know it's not usually logical to use 2 roster spots for a field goal kicker but I would. I think that field goal kicker very important against playoff caliber defenses. We could cut one of the players on our roster that would most likely just be a body. Matt Bryant showed no signs of decline last year when healthy. The Seahawks lost a playoff game last season because their veteran kicker got injured. That shows you why it's good to have a backup kicker. Do you guys think we should consider having 2 kickers? Do you think it is a realistic possibility Matt Bryant could be called back if Georgio Tevvechio starts to stink it up in practice and in games?

Ergo Proxy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 No. You gotta face reality of Bryant aging and injury concerns one day or another. IMO, Giorgio could easily stick on for a decade or more if he is given the chance to settle in like Bryant got. Want Bryant? Need to grow another.

JD dirtybird21 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think the Falcons should dump Tavecchio if he continues to struggle and choose the best kicker that performs in tryouts. Not just go with Bryant. What many here are failing to understand is if Bryant was such an incredible kicker at the moment, he’d be on a roster Ovie_Lover, ⚡Slumerican⚡, Ergo Proxy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atl Falcon Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Almost guarantee Giorgio cost us a few gms this yr based on his performance so far. He’s very capable and has all the physical attributes, but accuracy is a mental game and right now he can’t seem to shake the mental midget sitting on his shoulder. I think he’s done and you can stick a fork in him. I would move on...but that’s just me. DQ TD took a chance and apparently lost. It’s time to ring up the other Matty ice or another kicker. The NFL is all about winning close games and with our schedule a solid consistent FG kicker is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I never saw any evidence of a decline last year other than a pulled hamstring. I think Matt Bryant has 2 more good years left in him. Bryant also said he had a plan not to get injured again. Something about stretches or some kind of yoga. falconticket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again let the **** man experience the same freakin growing pains as every other player. Like the thread I posted a few weeks back pointed out, Bryant didn’t crack 90% until his 10th season in the nfl. Italian will be okay.

There have been 4-5 kickers ever who have been effective after age 45 in the NFL. Effective being a relative thing-Blanda kicked until 48, but was in the 60% range last 2 years. Thinking Bryant will automatically be Matty Ice at age 45 just isn't realistic. ya_boi_j and Ergo Proxy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how peeps wanna continue to give Vic and others a chance but want this guy gone after clutching it out to end last season but struggling during the preseason. Then need I even mention the fact that Bryant hasn’t been called by a single team at this point. You even have kickers getting traded while he’s sitting home on his couch. But let’s not take that into an ounce of consideration Falconsfan567 and Brewcrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD597 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If not Bryant then another kicker in camp to duel it out. I've seen enough to know this is going to be an issue and cost us games. Falcons Fan MVP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrfalcon Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We will never be able to move on from Bosher if we keep Bryant around as the latter will never agree to doing kickoffs. Giorgio has 2 more preseason games to prove himself and probably 1-2 regular season games. As long as he is making everything inside the 50 yard line and extra points, they will probably not replace him too quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
