k-train Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Not really starting material, but decent depth with experience, and if I'm not mistaken, he's very fast. Could end up being a really good deal for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could end up being a really good deal for us.What? not starting material? he will most likely start very soon! this guy is real good..but never had too many opportunities to look good playing with champ bailey and dre bly..those 2 guys taught him the best of the best..I say start him now!

Atlchamp99 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 you guys think as of right now..is he better than chris houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Affonso Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 you guys think as of right now..is he better than chris houston?Well yeah right now he is, but we are talking about a 5 year vet I think as opposed to a second year project player. I don't know how fair it is to compare them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 From a depth point of view, I guess this move makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLICK NICK Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I can't get over it just being a 7th round pick, I think that's a great move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iQue Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Nice, way to go TD. Once he gets in the mix I believe this will be a great pickup!!!Edit:Wait could this be a sign of non-confidence in our secondary or is this a depth move?

FalconsFor6 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Although I am excited about acquiring Foxworth it basically boils down to giving a 7th round pick for a one year player, since this is the last year on his current contract. If Foxworth decides to re-sign with the Falcons after this season it evolves into a 6th round pick...With that caveat, I'll stay cautiously optimistic...

Robb4242 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 From J.Mike's blog.....Reports from the Bronco-hungry Denver media have fourth-year cornerback Domonique Foxworth heading to Atlanta.According to multiple reports, a trade is in the works between the Falcons and Broncos.As the team's publications coordinator, I worked with Foxworth during his first two seasons in Denver. I put him, Darrent Williams and Karl Paymah (the team's trio of second-year cornerbacks) on a game program cover in early 2006.Foxworth has started 18 games over the past three seasons and has experience at nickel back, cornerback and safety. Should he join the Falcons, the team would receive an extremely intelligent defensive back and locker-room and community spokesman.Foxworth graduated high school early and finished a degree in American studies at Maryland in three-and-a-half years. He was a regular blogger on the Broncos website and got involved in the community early in his career.In three short seasons the defensive back taught writing classes at a Denver-area Boys and Girls Club, published a book, served on the executive board of the NFL Player Conduct Advisory Committee and raised funds for the Darrent Williams Tenn Center.Foxworth has 166 total tackles, three interceptions and 34 passes defensed in his career. He started both of the team's playoff games in 2005.And to those who don't see Foxworth as starting capable for us, are you insane????

iQue Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 From J.Mike's blog.....And to those who don't see Foxworth as starting capable for us, are you insane????I don't think they heard you One thing I can say is if this doesn't inspire Chris to elevate his game, I'm sure nothing else will.
