RYNE Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 We needed some safety depth for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theProf Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I predicted last week that Atlanta would sign a vet FA safety as follows:Posted 20 June 2012 - 07:06 PMtheProf, on 20 June 2012 - 06:02 PM, said:"Nolan is pleased with the play of safeties Thomas DeCoud and William Moore, but doesn’t see much depth at the position."I was surprised when the Falcons did not re-sign James Sanders for vet minimum, as Atlanta now has very little depth at the safety position. Although they drafted Safety Charles Mitchell in the 6th round, I suspect that they may still try to sign a vet FA Safety later on, perhaps after final cuts.http://boards.atlant...__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yea I knew we wasnt done at S, I hated to see Sanders go as the swing ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonSmacked Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yea I knew we wasnt done at S, I hated to see Sanders go as the swing ........IMO Hope is an upgrade over Sanders. The Titans had 5 good safeties after they drafted Markelle Martin. I was hoping we would sign whoever they cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohern Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Solid P/U by TD...I like it and he has playoff experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Carasik Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yea I knew we wasnt done at S, I hated to see Sanders go as the swing ........Sanders was terrible in coverage and was a needed exile. Hope will be much better at swing safety than sanders was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sanders was terrible in coverage and was a needed exile. Hope will be much better at swing safety than sanders was.Sanders was not a beast in coverage, but he was not horrible like some of you youngsters suggest, the guy was a very solid swing, and made a few big plays ......the disrespect of him is unwarranted, but yea, the Hope signing is fantastic !

freebird310 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Possibly why we cut the great white hope at WR ? ............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Date: Team: Pos: Chris Hope - DB - FalconsFalcons signed S Chris Hope, formerly of the Titans.Hope, who turns 32 in September, recorded 25 tackles and one interception in 10 appearances with Tennessee last year, making two starts and losing his job to Jordan Babineaux. Though he's clearly on the decline, Hope gives Atlanta experience at safety behind starters Thomas DeCoud and William Moore. He'll likely compete with Shann Schillinger and rookie Charles Mitchell for two spots.Jun 29 - 5:03 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman2k4 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hope can play the Nickle in the "Big Nickle" or let Moore play it and let Hope play SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fibonacci Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was thinking we needed some help for the falcons.....but I did think that Faulcon may have a chance, but now I am unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like it! We all knew we needed Safety depth. I was hoping we'd give Sean Jones a look until he signed elsewhere this week. Hope is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
