atljbo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Mike Peterson is looking good ....... Dude is a sure tackler and he attacks the line of scrimmage..... Mike Peterson also look good droppng back in the zone...... If you think this guy is slow..... you are crazy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrndzombii Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I meant to watch that today to see him in action. I really never paid him much attention but from what I can find: He is solid and dependable and consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattIceRyanMVP2 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am not too crazy about him.....The Falcons say they were trying to get younger and they sign a 31 year old. Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D^3 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am not too crazy about him.....The Falcons say they were trying to get younger and they sign a 31 year old. Makes no sense.It does when you consider they brought him in to fill in until the LB we draft is ready to start.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrndzombii Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am not too crazy about him.....The Falcons say they were trying to get younger and they sign a 31 year old. Makes no sense.I may be way off on this one as I usually am/ But I think adding him will help keep some experience on the field instead of them all being rookies or second year guys. I think it could be a good move.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiruz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Asked a jags fan and a friend about him, he said he's a solid stop gap linebacker at this point that commands his defence, is a sure tackler and can cover. He also said he's lost a few steps, and dont count on him to shed tackles.I think at this point he's much better than two down KB, but we'd have to have big tackles infront of him to succeed.

ki46dinah Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am not too crazy about him.....The Falcons say they were trying to get younger and they sign a 31 year old. Makes no sense.Well, if the guy can play, he can play....regardless of age.We all saw firsthand that Keith's game was in the dumpster....was it age? maybe.His own laziness? maybe. But at any rate he wasnt a valid starting player anymore, and his ego prevented him from accepting a backup/team role.So we brought in a guy that brings experience, still has a step to 'em, and is willing to compete for a position....not have one granted to him even if he no longer deserves a starting role.

atljbo Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Also... the guy fits the scheme because the guy was in the scheme multiple years... Heck Pro bowl years.... Mike Peterson is not a future answer but he does give us time to develop a mid round LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanka Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think bringing him in was a great move. He can drop back into coverage. He is a sure tackler. He brings leadership and experience to the table(He was Jags team captain before a rift with Del Rio)Think it was a great move for us to pick him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons Ace Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am not too crazy about him.....The Falcons say they were trying to get younger and they sign a 31 year old. Makes no sense.There isn't a team in the NFL that consists of only rookies, 2nd, and 3rd year players. Experience is a must. One 31 LB who can play good right now, isn't going to hurt us.

Jaymadd Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It was a great pick up. He knows the system and still can play. I wish i would have watched the entire game, i caught it in the 4th quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
