jes2400 66 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Before I go on topic,I just want to say happy St.Patrick's Day from me and Savannah,Ga to everybody,especially all the irish Falcon fans!Just came from the parade and it was great!People are worried about Glenn Dorsey's injury situation.I for one am not.The guy dominated the line of scrimage,beat double and ocasionally triple teams,and basically dominated in every defensive catigory.This was all with the injury.He's had time off to get the injury taken care of,so he should be fine draft day.If he's still on the board at 3 we can't pass on him.He will make everyone else on the line better.He will be more of an impact for the DL than Ryan would be for the QB spot.

falconfansince66 3,740 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wouldn't mind seeing Dorsey picked, however, Ellis is a good pick too and from what I hear, has an edge in footwork. They're both rated neck and neck above the rest. However, if we do get Jake Long, Pat Simms could be an awesome contributor with the right motivator and from what I hear about Coach Smith, this might be a good fit.

Goat 4 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ellis or Dorsey, I won't be disappointed with either one...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Duke 6 5 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I heard thomas was on thwest coast yesterday.Maybe he is checking out ellis? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTruth 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I would love to have Dorsey but if Dorsey and Long were both available I would want Long..Just because I am a big fan of having a strong O-line and I would love to have J. Long as that anchor...But Dorsey could do the same for the D. Line so you really cant go wrong with either one but I would rather have Long:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Label 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wouldn't be mad about any of those either. We have never really had a good O-Line. Can you imagine if we had a great O-Line when we lead the league in rushing those three season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mugzy12 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 he is an absolute beast when healthy and is still dominate when injured. didnt they say that he was a canidate for the heisman at one time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bret coburn 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think that dorsey will be mirror of warren sapp in the NFL.Causing complete **** in the backfield for offenses.But the i think this team needs a premier tackle to anchor this offense and set the tone on the o-line. Minus ryan i would be happy with anything. And even if we go with Ryan i will still be the first in line to get a jersey lol. Whoever it is i cant wait to see how it turns out:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 TD is going to check out every top prospect so don't get your hopes up...But I do believe 110% that it will come down to Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis, no DT in later rounds is nothing compared to the talent Ellis or Dorsey have.

Romfal 11,711 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Either Dorsey or Long should fall passed the Rams...I would be happy with either of them because we will improve right away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the outlaw 18 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think any of the first five picks will make an impact this year. Long, Dorsey, Ellis, Long, Gholston. I'd be happy with any of those guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romfal 11,711 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 only thing is, we don't need a DE/3-4 OLB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iDash 893 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 50 million for a small injured rotation DT , yea that a step in the right direction.McKay must be your heros Quote Link to post Share on other sites
halsey 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wouold love to see Dorsey's injury conerns go away with a passing medical evaluation, but until then the questions cannot just be dismissed. Look At Rod COleman the last couple of years. We don't want Dorsey to be nicked up all the time like Coleman was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not everyone can be as hard core as you. In real sports players can actually be less effective, miss games and have shorter careers due to injuries. In fact, the Falcons drafted a DT years ago who got hurt and never played a game in the NFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
