I really like the veterans that we're bringing in. Reminds me of '98.
One of the most slept on aspects of that 98 team was having FA vets like Cornelius Bennet, Eugene Robinson, Tony Martin, etc.
This is what we'll have to do on defense and the RB and TE positions for the next few years until we get long term starters. -
We're in better position to that now than last year. But other than Revis, I can't think of a solid CB that's really on the trade block.

Chris Tomasson @christomasson
Karlos Dansby's father, Samuel Dansby, told FOX Sports Florida teams in mix to sign his Miami-released son include Giants, Ravens, Falcons.Pat Kirwan @PatKirwanCBS
Karlos Dansby said he took the brace off his bicep late in 2012 and had 14 tackles against the Patriots...thinks the Falcons a great spot -
Dansby would be a great replacement for Peterson.
I wonder what Peterson is gonna do. It will be weird to see D-Block without him. It's time for Spoon to take the all-spark anyway. ? will probably be even funnier with Spoon hosting it.

Based on the needs and likely 1st round targets of other teams...
One of the first-round rated CB's will drop in our hands at #30.
Miliner and Xavier Rhodes might go first to either the Browns or Dolphins (who just signed Brent). Broncos are another likely team ahead of us to draft a corner. So that's only 3 teams that could likely go CB in the first round.
But there are 4 sure-fire 1st round rated CB's.
Miliner, Rhodes, Trufant, and Banks.
Which is good because it basically means we won't have to trade up to get one.
Patriots could go CB, but they need interior DL help more.
Not to mention Poyer will drop to a late 2nd or 3rd because of a unimpressive combine. -

So the Saints are signing scrubs for our playbook now?[twitter]ProFootballTalk[/twitter] Saints agree to terms with QB Luke McCown on a one-year deal, per league source.
Yep the Saints gonna have those 4 run plays they let Mccown run down pat -
-
I really hope we go CB in the first round. Hopefully Carradine will fall to the 2nd, but he's gaining momentum.
My problem with him is he was arguable the 3rd best DE on FSU last year. -
Oh, and ? Ledbetter.

I fuxx with the Brian Banks move. Dude is working hard to make a roster and he deserves the opportunity. I'm rooting for him to make the squad I heard he's fast and strong.

Like dead-lift 545 pounds, box jump 55 inches flat-footed, broad jump 10-plus feet and run a 4.6 40, all at 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds. NFL trainer Gavin Macmillan, who has volunteered to train Banks for free, says he has a shot. "You see him run and you can see why USC wanted him.

Quote from Banks....
If all of that is true then Dent needs to stay on top of his ? .
He has a decent shot at it. We need about 2 LB's. We'll sign maybe 1 or 2 more off the street before camp and maybe draft one or two. So he'll only have to beat out like 3 scrubs to at least get a roster spot.
His best bet is to make the roster and then become a special teams specialist at least for this year.
If sticks to the roster long enough to get to the first preseason game, I think he'll show out. -

I hope its just to restructer his contract. I dont understand
Me either. I assume they're doing to clear up space for other moves and Ryan's new deal, but damn, dude is a monster. I hope we can restructure cause he won't last long on the open market. -
Didn't expect that lol. But this is probably the reason TD drafted Lamar Holmes last year.

And why we didn't let Baker walk.
As long as it ain't like the beginning of the 2011 season when Matt Ryan had about 1.5 seconds to find a receiver.
A better run game will lighten the load too.
That Draw and checkdown to the RB will be murder with Steven Jax. After re-watching most of our games from 2012, it seemed like every carry I saw Turner get, I could see Jackson getting at least 1 more yard. And some of Turner's best 10-15 yard gains could've went to the house with Jackson. -
The Falcons' official website confirms Lamar Holmes is penciled in as the new starting right tackle.
A 6'6/323 second-year player out of Southern Miss, Holmes saw just seven snaps as a rookie. But the Falcons are apparently comfortable enough with him to release long-time starting right tackle Tyson Clabo. Holmes' only competition will come from jumbo tight end Mike Johnson and a possible draft pick. The Falcons will be breaking in a new center and right tackle this season.

Aight Big Lamar, time to get money.
I like his size tho, nh. -
I figured Lamar Holmes was going to get his shot this year. Figured he would have to beat someone out for the job tho. I don't think he even dressed in any games this year.
-
Im with you on that. Especially the offensive line. I pretty much thought that area would be untouched.
But you never know. Maybe they make another move or two with the cap space they gettin for releasing Clabo. I honestly think they may have something else in mind other than just extending Matt Ryan. From what I have heard they could have extended Ryan without making this move and still cleared up some cap space. -
The best thing about TD is his talent scouting, so every move he makes is based on detailed scouting info.
I thought our run defense would get even worse without Edwards sorry ass, but it got better and so did our defense overall (word to the Giants shutout.)
So I'm done doubting TD's moves. -

I go to the Ravens preseason game damn near every year with my nephews. Last chance to kick it with them before school starts. -
Dantone Jones/UCLA, Gavin Escobar/TE, Leon McFadden/CB also worked out for Atlanta Falcons today w/Jonathan Franklin @ Mira Costa HSTony Pauline @TonyPauline
Am told Datone Jones/DL/UCLA looked very impressive during his workout for the Falcons today.. -
I fuxx with Escobar and Jones, but I got my heart set on drafting a corner with that 30 spot. Even though I know it makes more sense to shore up the pass-rush first.
-
lol. That's ? if that's what they told him.
That's like telling ya girl, "I'm breaking up with you 'cause I got a ? from Magic City and a ? from DOA bout to come thru".
