There were a lot of unhappy people when the Atlanta Falcons released long time kicker Matt Bryant back in March. Matt Bryant is the best kicker the Falcons have ever had and letting a guy that automatic go left many unsure of how good of an idea it really was. Sure, they have a guy in Giorgio Tavecchio that looked great in 2018 filling in for Matt Bryant, but he was also a guy the Raiders had cut.
There was a sentiment among fans that everyone needed to relax when Tavecchio missed his first kick in the Hall of Fame game against the Broncos and that was understandable.
