And they’re both on special teams

Tuggle. Even though he retired before Blank took over no one wears 58. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with 84 either. There are some numbers they won’t put into circulation in the regular season. The first month of training camp is a different story.

And yet no one wears 10, 58, 84, 57, 60…. Just to name a few

You’re omitting Mora to Petrino and then Smith to Quinn. Falcons ended up with top 10 picks in those years. One thing Mora and Smitty had that Quinn & Arthur Smith did not. A true stud pass rusher on the roster.

Let's call this Dan Quinn Syndrome. Any system and coordinator can look good when you have multiple Hall Of Famers playing in it.

I liked the 2012 team better because BVG was not the defensive coordinator. They came out hot and won 9 straight games. They also won a game where Ryan threw 5 picks… which is basically impossible.

2014 the problem was the oline couldn’t block at all against the Panthers. The nightmare came true. 2008-2011 Smiths run heavy scheme would run Turner into the ground by the end of the year. Also those teams were designed to keep things close. 2008 & 2010 turnovers more or less ruined the Falcons. 2011 was more of a scared game plan and gave waaay too much respect to the Giants pass rush. Again Turner was pretty much running on empty by the time the playoffs came. This also illustrated the limits of Mularkey as a play caller. 2012 absolutely ZERO pass rusher doomed the

Question but if they didn’t extend Ryan how else could they have gotten under the cap? Cutting/trading him wouldn’t have really helped that much as far as cap hit. Restructuring/extending Grady wouldn’t have been enough to get the Falcons under the cap. And getting under the cap with a Ryan restructure still required trading Julio. So in addition to trading Julio and extending Grady what other players do you get rid of to get under the cap without restructuring Ryan?

Dude, did you forget who Ryan’s agent is? There isn’t going to be any discount and he will try to fleece the Falcons for max dollars on the contract. if he thinks he can get Ryan more money elsewhere he’ll push his client in that direction. A Matt Ryan extension isn’t going to be an easy thing because his agent will want the moon and the Falcons would be insane to pay a 37 year old QB like he’s Tom Brady and winning multiple SuperBowls with different teams.

And with that the era of the Falcons having the best WR I’ve ever seen in person comes to an end. Maybe one day people will remember how amazing Julio really was… which was one of the best WRs of all time.

Here are two things to think about if Julio stays. 1. He gets injured. Then the Falcons have to keep and pay him every cent. 2. Julio balls out and becomes a big part of why the Falcons are winning games. In scenario 2 would you still want to trade him? Oh and in this scenario he’s not practicing or being held accountable or any of the other things people around here have been ****ting on him for the last few weeks. But on game day he’s brining it like classic Julio. Would you still want to get rid of him?

What would the people that have been bashing relentlessly for the last week do then because apparently Julio is a non practicing cancer?

Sanu also yanked the defenders facemask so at best they would have gotten the down back.
