"The Mighty Bosh was a fixture on Falcons special teams from 2011 to 2019, and boasts the second-highest number of games played from a Falcons punter, just behind the insanely overworked John James of the 1970s. He's also top three in every franchise punting category, which is a good thing except for the number of blocked punts, the one notable flaw in his game."
"What made Koenen effective in his prime was a big leg-he once kicked a 58 yard field goal in an otherwise ill-starred turn as the team's kicker-and quality hang time. Despite having just 50 fewer punts than Bosher, he had 343 fewer return yards against him, a testament to his ability to give his coverage teams room to catch up."
Atlanta's quarter-century punter selection features three viable candidates. Matt Bosher served as the team's primary punter from 2011 to 2019, ranking second in franchise history across most punting categories including 489 punts, 20,120 net yards, and 45.1 yards per punt average. His longevity and fan popularity strengthen his candidacy, though he leads in blocked punts. Michael Koenen, with 440 punts, distinguished himself through exceptional hang time and coverage efficiency, allowing 343 fewer return yards despite similar punt volume. Bradley Pinion represents the current option. Each candidate demonstrates different strengths in special teams performance and franchise history.
