Falcons should throw caution to the wind and go without a kicker

Falcons fans across the world were irate when Matt Bryant was cut last winter and when Giorgio Tavecchio kicked miserably there was a public outcry to bring him back. The Falcons obliged. At the time, Matt Bryant was better than any of the kickers that the Falcons had brought in at the time.

This season has not gone well for Matt Bryant. He has missed five of the 14 kicks he has attempted and several of them were critical misses.

On Monday the Falcons brought in former Bears kicker Elliot Fry as well as former Georgia Southern kicker Youngshoe Koo for tryouts after Bryant missed two kicks versus the Seahawks; they announced the signing of Koo.
