If you give a running back enough carries he rush for 1000 yards. HD was the guy because both Julio and Roddy were down. He had enough catches to have 1k yards. The difference is did he impact the game? The answer is no. Julio impacts the game. Ridley impacts the game. Gage does not. Like HD. HD scared nobody. If he was a true game impacter he would’ve done so in Tenn. Turner impacted the game in San Diego when Tomlinson went down. He wasn’t just getting bulk carries. He was hurting defenses. And that impact continued with us. I see a lot of ppl like to bring up HD’s 1k season(by default). Thr

I am. 😂

What’s good kiwi? Been a minute I know. I see year one getting back to what WE do. Wide zone runs with play action off of that. I think year one the offense can really get back to what we’re used to from them. IF they get the running game back on course. But the players are there and the familiarity with the system will be back in play.

Me either. That pairing should be good. I’m actually excited for the off season to play out.

Loving what I’m seeing. Some really good hires. So real football guys. Smart guys. And Smith has the right idea with the offense he wants to run. We will get to see a REAL version of the WCO without being DK’d. And being that he will call the plays makes it much better. I love when an offensive minded HC calls his own plays. Payton, Reid, Lafleur, Etc...Also utilizing wide zone again. That’s how this team was built and Quinn effed it up going away from how it was built in 2015. But I’m def loving it so far. Also the GM hire is great. Glad TD is gone. He did a lot of good things while he was he

No doubt.

Man I’ve been so busy with work I just haven’t been doing much else. I’m up early today so I said I’d check in and see what’s going on in Falcons land. Good seeing you too bro. How’s things been your way?

Yep. We can get better quicker taking a corner than dline. If we upgrade FS as well we’ll have a playoff defense.

Surtain makes sense because he fits man to man. Which we will play a lot of with Peas at the helm. Especially with the blitzing he will do. A corner in that system doesn’t have to have the greatest long speed because the pressure the blitz brings shortens the coverage. He’s also physical and plays tough at the line. Which helps disrupt timing and keeps him in phase with a wr. I haven’t seen anything that gives me pause about him at Bama. He’s a legit corner. He comes from good pedigree. My wish list is corner and RB with the 1st 2 picks. Maybe not at 4 but we can probably drop back and get him

I like Surtain at 4. 👍🏾

Exactly. It’s not as easy as “well he’s the best player on the board, let’s take him”. He could absolutely suck in your system. And that’s a perfect example. Man corners vs zone corners. Deion sanders is the prototype of man corners. He NEVER wanted to play zone. But he COULD play zone. You take him as a true BPA. Asante Samuel excels at zone. Was ok at man but you’re likely a zone team that wants him. There’s still strategy involved with BPA.

BPA isn’t so cut and dry. It’s still BPA based on your scheme and philosophy. Is the BPA a player that can play in any system or is he a system specific type player. Like a 3-4 outside LB. Or ZBS blocking lineman or Power blocking lineman. BPA isn’t and shouldn’t be solely just the best player available period. Bill belichik trades back if the BPA doesn’t fit his system. There is still a strategy to BPA.

Happy bday my brother!!!

As far as AVERAGE receivers go he is an old man. Freaks of nature slow down to normal 1st.

Jim Brown played the same way. After every tackle he got up slow. It’s a tactic. Get up slow like you’re hurt on every play. Julio never got up fast tho. He always took his time getting up unless they were in hurry up.
