Matt Prater: Filling Jason Elam's shoes just fine

It's been a while since my last post! A topic you hear no one talk about is the Bronco's place kicker Matt Prater. One would think it would be difficult to come in after the great Jason Elam and follow in his foot steps but Matt has done just that. His rookie outing in 2008 he showed at the begining of the season he had a big leg (his longest kick was 56 yards) but then sputtered as did the entire team the secound half of the season. Josh McDaniels decided to keep him around for 2009 and i'm sure glad he did. He had a great year ALL yearin 2009! He made 30/35 field goals or 85.7% of his kicks with his longest being 51 yards. Ontop of that he is only 25 years old and should only get better as he continues his carrer. The Broncos should be set for years to come with Prater kicking for the Broncos. Hopefully it will be just like when number 1 would go up to kick the game winning field goal "WE GOT THIS!" A Mile High salute to Matt Prater for filling the huge void Elam left behing and here is to many more field goals to come!
