JKH5785 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Friday, July 30, 201010:17 am Not receiving many reps in 7-on-7s were backup QBs Chris Redman and John Parker Wilson. Redman completed 2 of 4 passes and Wilson completed 1 of 4.10:12 am QB Matt Ryan looked sharp in 7-on-7s, completing 8 of 10 passes. His two incompletions involved CB Dunta Robinson getting his hands on the ball.10:11 am WR Brian Finneran is showing no ill effects from his knee injury, jumping up on the sideline to snag a tough catch. Two plays later he snagged one in traffic over the middle.9:37 am CB Brian Williams is participating in practice but did not come on the field for the team's first session of team drills.9:32 am While DL Jamaal Anderson has been criticized during his tenure in Atlanta, he continues to rotate in and out of DE and DL. While his pass rush skills are limited, the coaching staff seems to like what he can do in run situations.9:24 am On the Falcons' first team drill, CB Brent Grimes, who is competing for a starting spot, lined up at left CB, opposite of Dunta Robinson at right CB.9:15 am DT Peria Jerry is practicing with the team for the first time since Week 2 of 2009. So far so good, as he's moving at full speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Fantom Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks for posting! Good to hear Robinson making plays on the ball. Im cool with Dougie, Jerry, and Williams practicing once a day. No need to stress out their injuries. Speaking of Jerry happy to hear him moving at full speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuccah Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Grimes needs to be on the rite where he is more comfortable. we all saw the difference he made from left to rite.If he can't play on the left, he won't be a starter. Unless he is happy being nickel, he has to get comfortable there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Good to hear PJ is back to fullspeed!PJ could be a make or break for us this season. If he's playing well, JA55 and KB71 gonna benefit well from it.. If not then it'll hurt our passrush alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King ED Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Grimes finished out the later half of the season at RCB, which is the left is you are looking from the QBs perspective. I don't see the big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofEuphoria Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If he can't play on the left, he won't be a starter. Unless he is happy being nickel, he has to get comfortable there.Not exactly. With Robinson here, it allows us to let him shadow the opponents best receiver, whetherthat be on the left or right side. Grimes (or whomever plays at #2 CB position) would be playing onboth sides of the field at different times. Obviously, Grimes had more success last year on theleft side, but he didnt do too bad on the right either (int of Brees).This was the advantage in signing Dunta and it allows us to do things defensively we couldnt do the last two years.

Nothing exceptional, but still decent. They didn't draft him, so they have no attachment to him and he has had his 3 years, so they aren't waiting on him to develop eiher. They are using him for what they know he can do at this point. Your reasoning for cutting him is asinine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston was cut after his 2 years with the current regime. Are you telling me Houston was worse than JA98? Well he is still here isn't he, and TD/Smitty have one simple excuse: "We didn't draft him so let's just cut him". He is still here for year 3 and they have plans to use him to his strengths.

We were pleased with our rush defense all across the board.Our pass rush was pitiful (after the first two games) from everyone on the D-line, not just Anderson.

SWIFT HITTER Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Glad Im not the only one who thinks he is on bubble Falcons DL Jamaal Anderson could be on the roster bubble this summer.The 2007 first-rounder has just 2.5 sacks in 44 career games as a defensive end, so the Falcons are trying him out in a swing tackle/end role this year. His roster spot could hinge on the healthy return of DT Peria Jerry, who has struggled to return from an ACL tear.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would take Vance Walker & Trey Lewis/TJ anyday of Jammal AndersonThose 3 players are fighting for careers and pay checks..Give me the hungry player who has something to prove to a top 10 bust that has been paid huge ..Jammal Anderson is not going to make any difference in our run game or our pass rush..so while he is decent against the run he is not worth keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
