hawkeye Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Q: What are your thoughts on Michael Palmer making the team?A: Michael Palmer [the undrafted free agent tight end from Clemson and Parkview High] came in and he just wowed us. That's a big thing. ... From day one he gradually got better and better. Then our quarterbacks got confident with him in the passing game.http://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-falcons/q-a-mike-mularkey-611039.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackredfellow Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks for posting. That is awesome to hear. He looked really good in the preseason. He has size and speed similar to Gonz, and he is fortunate to be able to learn from him as well. We may have a steal with Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have a steal with Palmer.I hope so, Gonzo will retire shortly and last thin we need to do is waste a low draft pick on a untrained TE.Now we will have a development player right behind him who will be solid in this league if he can be 3/4's the factor as TG.

Hashbrown3 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Glad to hear this about Palmer. Question is will he be the next generation tight end for us. If so, he needs to absorb anything and everything from Gonzo who can absolutely show him every trick in the book. He needs to be studying everything the guys does. That includes asking tons of questions until Gonzo has to tell him to get out of his stall while he takes a dump... really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be the Sidbury to Gonzo's Abraham and soak in as much as he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 If Palmer can be a second receiving TE, at 6'5", 260lbs, he'll make people stop worrying about getting another wide receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
