Ego gets in the way as Atlanta Falcons sign Blair Walsh

The Atlanta Falcons added former UGA and Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh, defensive tackle Stefan Charles and tight end Thomas Duarte.

Make no mistake about the signing of kicker Blair Walsh, this was an ego move by Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff. Sure, UGA fans will like the signing of Walsh, but from a football standpoint this makes no sense.

Blair Walsh has not attempted an NFL kick in more than a year and a half and his last season in Seattle was a forgettable one. The one time All-Pro fell from grace rather quickly on his way of the NFL.
