May he get much work in their next game. I am actually glad they picked him up. I thought he would last longer in the league than he had at this point.

Re: Ryan Allen Now a Falcon
Pertinent part of Altlantafalcons.com's press release:
"Allen, 30, joined the Falcons midway through the 2019 season in the wake of an injury to starter Matt Bosher. He proved proficient in directional punting, a skill that helped him land 14 of his 28 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line, but Allen's average of 41.9 yards per punt was well below his career average.
The Falcons drafted former Syracuse punter Sterling Hofrichter in the seventh round of April's draft, and it was expected he would compete with Allen for the team's starting job in training camp. It's possible Atlanta chooses to bring in another punter to compete with Hofrichter, but he now appears to have a clear path to the job."
With 3 Super Bowl rings and 6 years in the league Ryan's beaten the averages like a drum. I'm interested to see if he decides to try and stay in the league a while longer or move on to life after pro football.
