Resse Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Could he still be a situational pass rusher and rotation guy?That would really boost our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenbluen Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't see the need for adding a situational rusher when, as of right now, both Hardy and Applewhite ideally fit that role. Especially when you consider there are far bigger concerns defensively and cap-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resse Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yes, but I did say "ideally". Much like Munnerlyn is ideally a nickel db.Think of this dline on passing downs Abe,CJ, Hardy, and maybe Brockers.Whew I felt it move a little.

SaintRay Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Abe was very good, but he's older and slowing down. I don't see him in anymore Superman roles.That said, if he feels he is dissed by the Falcons, he could play 2012 with a chip on his shoulder.

We could use him as a pass rusher on passing downs and back-up to Hardy and CJ. He could thrive in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconcheff Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) From what I hear about his pay desire, you'd have too much tied up in CJ and a situational pass rusher. Don't hamstring your team for one position. If he was going to take "situational" money, we'd resign him.

Plus playing close to home might be something that spikes his interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bubba Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If he feels slighted by the Falcons, then I could see a possibly dirt cheap signing for him, by the Panthers. He may only "rise up" for just the two games against the Falcons.... but that's better than nothing. I think CJ and someone like Abe, even old Abe when he turns it on, would be a fierce combo. Even if that old Abe is only a situational player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconcheff Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hold on there, guys... He isn't being slighted by the Falcons, and FA hasn't even started yet. This could all be posturing. If he finds that we offered a similar deal to what other teams are offering, he might even be back in the Red and Black. I don't really think he'll take the same deal we offered to go play somewhere else. He's going to test his value to other teams, then sign for the best deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he sign for 'dirt cheap' to play for the Panthers?I swear between this and the claims that the Panthers are gonna land carr/Grimes, I really think you guys don't understand how the salary cap works.

What are you going on about? Abe is an old, washed up DE, compared to how he used to be. What normal fan is going to assume that he wants 12m a year?
