wren 13 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 This is so good on so many levels. He is replacing a one dimensional player in Anderson (only can play the run) Which is great because Edwards is very solid as a run stopping DE. And it helps because even though Kroy can Pass rush he can also get blown up a bit in the run game.And it up our overall rotation! Kroy, Abe, and Edwards is a very strong 3 DE rotation. And all three can really bring it and can give one another a hot second to get some rest. To speak nothing of what still "could be" if we get anything decent out of Sid!And now imagine we get anything out of Jerry like we did in flashes from his rookie season! People want to bag on Edwards as the weakest of the Vikings line, but when you look at all the pieces of our line, we are really in a nice position with some strong talent once this addition is made.Abe: One of the best in the league no questionBabs: Never makes it like he should be he is a Pro Bowl Player no questionEdwards: Very solid well rounded DE 8 sack min guy with really good run stopping ability. Jerry: If he is back no more stepping up in the middle, if he isn't injured he is a very good player. What Kory can be to our DT rotation in what special things he can bring. He can make something special happen on his own.Kroy: Kerney lite, relentless pass rush but gets exposed on run downs (but not any more!) when the O-line needs a breather Kroy is going to up the hustle anty for certain. AND he wont have to play as many game snaps because Akeem Dent is supposed to take Kroy's role on special team. More energy for this tireless worker, who was a half step away from having 8-10 sacks last seasonPeters: Real good rookie season and only looks to improve in his second season, what Edwards can be to our DT rotation. Solid you know what you will get, and pass rush is coming along.Nice looking D-Line when you look at it in totality!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmo_dlo 2,499 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 TD robbed Edwards especially considering the contract Panties gave CJ... what a great job by TD getting Clabo and Edwards on bargain deals.I think it's much more a case of CJ robbing Panthers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finally 2,903 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think we paid him what he was worth. So if part of the panthers thinking process was to sabotage us in getting an upgrade by giving Johnson such a ridiculous contract, it didn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwifalcon 19,389 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 **** ANYONE who talks **** about TD. The man is the best GM we've ever had.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Agree with this.But as you can see by alot of our fanbase there are still Dimitroff doubters in the building.I actually think they have protected our 18 mill under the cap well.I think they'll resign Blalock next and then get a deal done with Grimes later on.Our GM excites me he is doing everything Mr Blank has promised to keep the Falcons relevant.God I just can't understand the TD doubters the man's doing a fine job.

Kung-Pow 361 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 That is highway robbery and THAT haters is why Mr. Dimitroff has been NFL Executive of the Year two of the last three years.Pretty amazing stuff when you think about it... This is why I didn't understand all consternation surrounding the board these past few days. TD has done nothing but keep this team in position to compete for a championship since he got here.

pzummo 6,724 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Seriously, we got Ray Edwards for HALF of what Carolina paid CJ!!! CJ had a helluva year, but he's not twice the DE of Ray Edwards!I wasn't begging for us to sign him because of how things went down in Minnesota, but for this contract, I couldn't be more excited!!!

84White32Quizz 338 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Abe and Sid at RDE and Ray and Kroy at LDE, I really like our 1-2 punch at both positions. Add in a healthy Peria and we may have a very good Dline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karst41 5,761 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 That is a ******* steal.Sure he could have signed elsewhere fo mo money.But here he gets to play in the post season, make the same money, and this yearhe will get a Ring to go along with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
