Falcons punter Matt Bosher won’t be handling kickoffs anymore

In Matt Bosher’s time with the Falcons, the punter/safety/wrestler has also had to field kickoff duties. That was likely to keep veteran Matt Bryant fresh for field goals, but with Bryant gone, it looks like things are going to change this year. Dan Quinn confirmed after practice on Monday the 29th that Bosher won’t be handling kickoff duties anymore.

Bosh would allow Matt to just focus on the place kicking. Over the last few years, Bosh double-dipped in the early part of his career and now we can switch back... - Dan Quinn

At just 29 years old, Giorgio Tavecchio will take over the kickoff duties, alongside his normal field goal duties and modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch (that last part isn’t true, but it probably should be).
