SEPTEMBER 26: Though the Falcons did sign Sauls this week, Romo will be the team’s kicker on Sunday, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. A performance that resembles his Week 2 output more than last week’s would likely be enough to keep the job moving forward, but missing multiple kicks again could give Sauls a shot in Week 5.
SEPTEMBER 23: The Falcons have already made one major move at the kicker position this season by releasing Younghoe Koo. That decision came about with John Parker Romo being tapped as Koo’s replacement.

In Week 2, Romo connected on all five of his field goal attempts and his lone extra point kick. He appeared to be set for a lengthy spell as Atlanta’s preferred kicking option as a result, but things took a different turn in Week 3. During Sunday’s blowout loss to the Panthers, Romo missed both of his field goal tries. The team now appears to be set for a new round of auditions at the position.
“We have to bring competition in,” head coach Raheem Morris said of the kicker spot (via Josh Kendall of The Athletic). “You have to do that until we get it right. That’s something we will work diligently at.”
After a Week 1 loss in which Koo struggled, Morris made it clear free agent options would be explored. That resulted in the Romo signing and, shortly thereafter, the decision to release Koo after a run of six-plus years with the franchise. Workouts were held with free agents Zane Gonzalez, Michael Badgley, and Ben Sauls last time around.
It would come as little surprise if one or more of those kickers were to receive another look. Atlanta also has Lenny Krieg – who lost a training camp competition to Koo – in place on the practice squad. Moving on from Romo after one poor outing would certainly raise a number of eyebrows, especially given his strong showing in Week 2. Nevertheless, Morris and Co. seem to be in position to continue seeking out replacement options over the coming days.
How about bringing Koo back? This organization is so dysfunctional.
@rdiddy75. The money badger. Makes the most sense. 85.7% isn’t bad.
Worth a shot at this point.
Koo is now on the Giants’ practice squad.
As a Falcons fan I hate this sentiment…but unfortunately I’m beginning to agree now lol
I wouldn’t if I were them…he’s got the yips, he needs a fresh start somewhere else to land on his feet and get out of his own head.
Romo is just what you get when looking for a FA kicker in September. There really isn’t going to be much of an upgrade out there.
please please please give us back Rodrigo Blankenship – the NFL just isn’t the same without him
I like the irony of a placekicker needing eye glasses and he’s a good ol’ Georgia boy…so yeah, why not?
the curse of koo has been cast on the position .. this is just the beginning of a decade+ long search for a suitable replacement
I give my vote to Badgley, he was steady for the Lions until a season ending injury led to them signing Jake Bates.
@dangard75. He actually replaced koo for the chargers, but agree he’s probably the best available. If not that might as well cycle through college udfas and see if you can strike gold.
Morten Andersen?
Goodell wants better viewer ratings than he can provide so it will have to be Pamela Anderson 🙂
How about Anderson Varejao? He’ll be able to see over the linemen.
I think the coach is a problem
They could always try Kohl’s Cash Cousins out there just for the hilarity of it during their next blowout loss, which shouldn’t be far away.
