dirtybird1989 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Really the only problem the falcons have is our pass rush. Yea we could use another cornerback to play NB. If you think about it after we adress those two problems, there is not much left to do. We are set for a long time to make superbowl runs. When we get those few positions tweaked up then our main concern is who will be our third WR lol. That is a great problem to have. I remeber just a few years back we needed a upgrade to almost every position besides Right End, we have came along way. Now we are set at nearly every position besides LDE and NB. I think we will have a very good team for a very long time. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Better pass rush, better pass coverage by the linebackers, and a talented nickelback, and our D is set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton just isnt very good, Peterson useless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Every ounce of confidence any fan can have of this being a complete team hinges on free agency. Not signing and filling just those two holes but the majority of our o line, S Nicholas, Grimes, these are big contributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus turner, abe and gonzo wont be around for many more years. Those are three big holes waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats why we drafted a runningback, but maybe we drafted him to keep the bench warm. I don't know, but im pretty sure we can't afford to sign another big name RB and DE while we are still paying Abe and Turner. Some people should think before they say something because if every team signed people who could start, and played them as back-ups untill their starter got old they would be broke.

TBYTYou honestly think that the back you drafted is to replace turner? More than likely he is replacing Norwood. He wasn't drafted to be a workhorse. You don't have to sign all of your good players in free agency, how about drafting them???? Almost everyone on every team can be upgraded with the exception of the few superstars/franchise players/all pros. So you mean to tell me that you couldn't upgrade anyone on your team besides a pass rusher and nickel back? Just because you have a person starting already, doesn't mean they are really that good, or so good that they couldn't be upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconState Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 we don't need anyone to replace Turner he is great but the first thing we need to upgrade is our pass rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcoholicmess Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 we dont have to replace turner but we **** sure better get a back that can compliment him. no way in **** he carries the ball 350+ this year and i still dont trust snellings run style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UptownHardHitta Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I wasn't necessarily implying that replacing turner is the biggest priority, but the OP was talking like dude is gonna be around forever while you are making your super bowl runs for the next few years.

Hustle Up Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The Falcons are not set. We need several peices. I'm concerned about the OL, DL and we still need another CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullpup969 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 What about going after Albert Haynesworth? That would help the pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*TMo* Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Too bad deangelo isnt a FA next year.he would be an awesome replacement for turnerAre you talking about DeAngelo Williams? I'm pretty sure he is scheduled to be a free agent this year. I would love to add him to the Turner and Quizz show. This would reduce Michael Turner's carries significantly and extend his successful career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did'nt say when we get that took care of don't do anything else in free agentcy.I know lots of people on our team that could be upgraded, but those were our main three problems. So COACH do you think we should fix the spots we suck at, or should we just keep sucking at those spots and upgrade the positions we are doing good at?
