hawkeye Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 According to this article we do. What do yall think?9. Any Green Bay safety to the Falcons: The Packers have four safeties right now and will only keep three. Anthony Smith, who started last season for a period with the Steelers, has been pushing wild man Atari Bigby, who can't seem to avoid injuries. Atlanta needs secondary help badly and right now the Packers are loaded with defensive talent.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/1000853...-before-kickoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUB Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 would only be worth it if that safety or one of our current ones could fill in at corner. That would allow us to do some things. I like Atari Bigby though so if we could get him for dirt cheap I would make that move. I think Coleman can fill in whever you put him.....he's a real deal football player. Also would allow you to use one as a LB. However I dont think any of these scenerios are the deal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaal for 4th safety...but we'd have to throw in a round 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insight Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We need to find someone to replace DeCoud. Eric Coleman is Good but DeCoud looks horrible. He's our starting safety but when you watch film he's harder to find than Bin Laden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his assignment is away from the play is that his fault? I'd say if you saw him but he wasnt making plays thats a problem. Not seeing him might not be that bad. I'm not saying he's a solid player, but I've not heard anything bad about his play at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming since he is playing FS that he would provide over the top help on pass plays, and play deep on one side in cover two. I really never see him back there. It never has been called out by the coaching staff so maybe it's not a problem. We Coleman played FS last year and he was our leading tackler so it seems like he should be in on more plays.

The play where Bennet took that screen to the house is the only play I can say Decoud sucked on......i believe he's #28......he got smoked.....few of our guys got blocked by one charger.

Robb4242 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Given that Hutchins was supposed to be in the mix as a CB/FS, I would think it's possible that we might consider any safety that gets cut at the end of camp. However, if we're rolling with 5, the Moore/Fudge/Coleman/DeCoud/Harris group isn't that bad, although I'd much prefer to see Coleman moved back to the FS starter spot and let Moore start at SS (which I think will happen before the season starts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have improved against the run because Coleman is playing SS now and the LB's are getting more penetration. What we are lacking is a F.S who is around the ball knocking out players going over the middle. A Good FS is a Ball Hawk who is always around the play. Look at players Brian Dawkins, Eric Weddle, Ed Reed, Ryan Clark. They intimidate Receivers who go over the middle and contest the deep ball. DeCoud is almost invisible out there.

DeCoud didn't play on defense at all last season now he's already getting bashed after 3 pre-season games? u guys are a trip, u are consistent with the stupidity though I give y'all that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello. You do not need a master’s degree to analysis what's happening on the football field. Why don't you watch the games and then come back and tell me he is flying around in the secondary. The fact is you can't blast Grimes and Houston and leave the F.S out of the secondary criitism. OH Wait, Do we need FILM to notice that our CB's are struggling in pass protection too? Answer this question genius! Why did TD use a second round draft pick on William Moore? Where do you think Coleman would play if William Moore can get healthy and play?

Congrats on being premature, hope the Mrs. isn't equally dissapointed in the bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 DeCoud's not ready. In the San Diego game he was playing rediculously deep. I can appreciate a safety not wanting to get torched long, but when you are 30 - 35 yards from the line of scrimmage with no receivers anywhere near you, well, the defense might as well be playing with 10 guys.

Where do you think Coleman would play if William Moore can get healthy and play?1. What happens on the football field is actually quite intricate, and not seeing players perform can often have far more to do with the scheme/playcalling/other players doing their job than it does with what we "see."2. Cb's don't pass protect, they cover the pass. They are not olinemen. However, if you can recall Ed Zonatell, our corners often looked horrible because of the schemes we played in. Throw in the fact that we haven't been able to get after the qb that well, and it's VERY fuzzy as to just how bad they are. I know for a fact that Chris Houston played pretty good the 2nd half of the season last year. That counts more to me than what happened in 1 preseason game.3. Because W. Moore represented HUGE value at the position he was picked in, and T. Decoud had yet to make the huge move during training camp that he did, AND because we were trying to get younger and improve speed on the defense. I think at the moment, that he regards Moore and Decoud as our future starters. Eric Coleman will be due up for a pretty big contract in another couple years. Perfect timing for Moore to step into the starting lineup. Or for Decoud if Moore beats him out before then. William Moore was playing during Training camp and Decoud was STILL beating him out. The injury just put the nail in the coffin as far as him getting the starting job early in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be playing that deep unless the coaches either wanted it or were okay with it. Again, I'm not saying the secondary doesn't have some issues, what I'm saying is that in the San Diego game, we did crazy stuff with our scheme. How about how he was playing in the first two preseason games, and in training camp where he was great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeDemBirds60 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Am i the only guy who knows the Decoud has never started a regular season game and is really raw. He's only in his second year and got limited playing time last year he's just raw.... How bout we give the guy some time to learn the position at an nfl level thats what the preseason is for and he hasn't been terrible he just hasn't made any impact plays but those will come in time. I went to the mini camps and a few training camp practices and the kid has all the talent need to be a really good safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons Ace Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We Coleman played FS last year and he was our leading tackler so it seems like he should be in on more plays.If your safeties are leading your team in tackles it means one of two things. Your linebackers are failing miserably or you play an aggressive scheme with an All-Pro caliber safety given the oppertunity to roam ala Troy Polumalu.

RyanFalconMan Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We should bring in a vet to fill that FS spot. I am not entirely comfortable with Decoud starting yet. He is kind of hard to find on the field, he should be around the ball most of the time. William Moore if he can get healthy should be a great safety for us. Bigby would be really nice too.
