The Atlanta Falcons have a kicking problem. They decided to part ways with Matt Bryant in the offseason and his successor, Giorgio Tavecchio, has really struggled this preseason to make kicks.

This week the Falcons brought in Blair Walsh who didn't kick at all last season and he wasn't very good in practice either. They are both expected to kick in Thursday's preseason game.

In the open part of practice, Blair Walsh is kicking and is 5-of-9. #Falcons

Atlanta Falcons kicking legend Morten Andersen joined John Fricke and Hugh Douglas and spoke about the teams issue at kicker.

He also tries to figure out the team separating from Matt Bryant and if he could receive a call again soon from the team.

"You got rid of a guy that was kicking at a high level. I don't know the specifics of the cap, but he won three or four games for you a year," says Andersen. "Tavecchio or Blair are younger and cheaper, but they haven't shown me enough that I'd go into a season with them."
