PrintIt's said that consistency is boring. If you're talking about Matt Bryant, that's just not true.
Bryant won our special teams player of the year voting by a landslide, a testament to his excellence and how easy it is to recognize. After a lackluster 2009 with the Falcons, Bryant has been arguably the best kicker in the NFL, drilling over 90% of his field goals in back-to-back years and looking like he's about to ride off on his motorcycle after each one. It's been a brilliant stretch.
There were a ton of deserving candidates for this award, and Chris Owens and his two game-saving tackles didn't even make the nominee list. But Bryant gets it by virtue of being totally unstoppable, missing only two kicks all year.He was quite simply good all season long, and that counts for a lot.
So please welcome your new special teams player of the year. Give it up for Money Matt Bryant, if you would.

Mr.Bryant has
Ice Water in his veins. The man is simply friggin’ good. Nothing else needs to be said here.
Evil Falcon
Agree on Bryant, but who's our kick coverage MVP?
For me it would be a tough call between Weems and Dent, if we were considering only non-kicking special teams players. Those guys both stampede towards the ball.
Well Deserved
I got to the point in my mind where the chances of Bryant missing a kick was the equivalent of my chances of becoming a saints fan. Is there a percentage less than 0%?
Yep, I didn't vote...
but that’s who I was going to pick. Mr. Consistency. Took some of the excitement out of the kicking game, but in a good way.
