real_fan Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I am watching a replay of the Tampa Bay and Jags game from last night. Gaines Adams is starting to excel. He lines up at both end spots and is looking like a great pick from the draft in which we took JA. Tampa got the better man that year. I really hope Jamal can become productive at some position. Bierman should start a DE this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bierman should start a DE this year.Well he was projected to be the best DE that year. The first off the boards. We are ok he only has 8 more tackles and 6 more sack for his career than Anderson! I am looking at the stats he only had 2 tackles. Thanks for rooting for the home team guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GritsPittz Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Anderson has more upside because of his size. He's still young and may come along, he hasn't been playing DE very long. I hope he does well this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bierman should start a DE this year.What is the point of this post? The slant seems to be that we passed up on drafting Gaines Adams in order to take Jamaal Anderson, I guess to try and indicate how badly we screwed things up, but that's not the truth. Adams was absolutely the best DE in the 07 draft and went top 5.Why not compare what Anderson has done to the guy we did pass on. The only other DE to go in the 1st round was Jarvis Moss(17th). He can't even crack the starting lineup of a very weak Broncos defensive front and he's sitting behind the great John Engelberger on the depth chart. Moss has played in 3 games as a backup this preseason & has racked up just 1 tackle.We really needed a DE in 2007. Adams was NOT available when we drafted, but thus far, the player we selected has been better than the one we did pass on. Could we have gone a different way, sure, but O have a feeling that the guys on here riding Anderson are the same ones who called Roddy a bust for a couple of years before doing their about face on him. Give Anderson some portion of his 2nd season at least. DE's usually come around in their 2nd year & we know that he wasn't coached to be an NFL DE in his rookie season.

Robb4242 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 what about adam C.?? he is playing DT, but is still a DE.Carriker was a DE in college, but he was huge. One of the biggest questions on him was could he be an NFL DE, the answer seems to be no. He's super-sized up to 308 lbs and is playing NT for the Rams now. He's no longer a DE like in college, he is a DT without a doubt.http://www.nfl.com/players/adamcarriker/profile?id=CAR485536If we move Anderson inside full time, then we can start the comparisons with Carriker & Okoye.

terryowens__ Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I was just happy to see the Falcons move Anderson in to DT and put Biermann in at DE for the 3rd Down pass rush.That's the way it should be.OK we are stuck with Jamaal. But that doesn't mean we can't fatten him up and let him play UT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteFalcon Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 adams is a beast and i think most ppl would have wanted him over anderson but we knew he wouldnt fall past the top 5 picks. oh well we gambled taking the 2nd best DE in that draft...and IMO its still yet to be seen which one is better.

RyanFalconMan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You guys realize that 2007 year is over? I don't even know why some of you guys even refer to last year anymore. There's nothing that can be done about last year except realize it was run by a cowardly coach in Bobby Petrino. You guys talked like we past on Gaines Adams to pick up Jamaal, but I thought Adams was picked at number 3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
