Giorgio Tavecchio might be on shaky ground. After another rocky preseason performance, Falcons head coach Dan Quinn indicated that he might look into replacing the kicker. 
“Any time at any position, when we miss the mark, we want to find out why and what we can do to get better,” Quinn said. “It’s definitely a spot we are continuing to evaluate and that is always the case.”
Tavecchio’s latest miss came on a 39-yard try, which is a chip shot by NFL standards. That was his fourth miss in eight attempts this preseason, which could be enough for Quinn to kick him off the roster.
“My focus is always on myself and controlling the controllable,” Tavecchio said. “There’s a lot of things out of your control in this business. I know when I wake up every morning, I say a little prayer of gratitude and give my best each day.”
Tavecchio joined the Falcons in the middle of the 2018 season to fill in for longtime Falcons kicker Matt Bryant. This offseason, they parted ways with the clutch-kicking veteran and moved forward with the former Raider, but they might be having second thoughts about that plan.
They NEVER should have cut Bryant. Made absolutely ZERO sense.
he’s 65 years old…
So is Vinatieri. Coincidence that those two are in the top 5 kickers in the league?
Who cares how old he is. He went 20-21 field goals last year, clearly he still can kick
At this point why not bring Cody Parkey in for a tryout. Lol
If missing a 39-yarder is the best you can give on game day, you need to work on your prayer game…
Honestly… how many billions of people on earth and the NFL can’t find enough that can kick a ball through the uprights?
Blame USA Soccer…the worst organization in sports.
Umm didn’t Matt Bryant get in trouble for beating up his wife? Or was that a different kicker ? Cuz I can’t remember?
no, that was Josh Brown of the Giants.
Oh okay my bad yeah I don’t like that Josh Brown dude glad he’s no longer in the league
I do like this dudes name tho
It’s definitely the name I would want if I decided to design a line of Italian suits.
