paul n coke Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Dent has not been effective from a MLB standpoint. Robert James wouldnt be here if they didn't think he could play having drafted him 4 years ago. From what I saw out of him in the preseason was a guy that played fast. Dent is playing slow and not making plays. You never know what a man can do with an opportunity at this level. Along with the fact of him being around nfl games speed for 3+ seasons. I say give the guy a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I dont know if James is a MLB, but if he can play it, get him in there...or call up Schiller from the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokas finest © Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 James is the last guy you'd expect to be a run stopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebannedbird310 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 James weighs about 225 last time I checked, no thanks, if anything Pete would be the man at MLBer after Dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uga706 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) What about seeing if Ernie Sims has something left in the tank. Doesn't he play MLB? Also, is E.J Henderson with the Vikings? I know he was a free-agent and I can't find any info on him for this year. It seems like we should try a couple of guys out. I'm really surprised we didn't do it sooner when Lofa went down.

Eye of the Falcon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 James weighs about 225 last time I checked, no thanks, if anything Pete would be the man at MLBer after Dent.Don't know about James' 'heart' but how much did Jessie Tuggle weigh? I really don't know, but was not much more . "it's the size of the fight in the dog" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul n coke Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 My whole point is simple. Akeem Dent clearly hasn't caught up to nfl game speed. Robert James at least has an idea from a experience standpoint. He showed more this preseason than he ever showed. Maybe it clicked for him, maybe it hasn't. But the guy at least deserves a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"it's the size of the fight in the dog"James at MLBer would be an utter disaster, you think Dent looks bad ? ...James is a fluid player whose strength is quickness, not a stout downhill thumper, you guys are living in fantasyland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have no idea why Mike Peterson isn't starting at MLB. Makes no sensehe couldn't have last game because Nic was out. We'll see what happens moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron360 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Week the guy hadn't had alot of snaps (dent), so I think they are willing to let him grow into the position. If not Pete would already be playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Robert James is far from who I would have picked to play middle linebacker for usbut we have "a stout downhill thumper" in there now and he is not finding the ball.If James could do that he would be better. Our safeties are making the tackles now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithful Falcon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 We need James in on blitz situations. Dent should move to DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundini Brown Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think someone else would be there if they had someone better. Dent is going to be our MLB for the entire season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putnam6 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have no idea why Mike Peterson isn't starting at MLB. Makes no senseYep at least Peterson knows where to go and what to do, Akeem just seems lost arrives late and is the last one to the pile. **** and I was hoping he would do okay but he has become a liability. 2012 Atlanta Falcons 6 4 18 11 7 0.0 -- 0 -- -- 0.0 -- -- 0 18 Tackles total **** I got to find exactly how many snaps he has taken. To be fair his highest tackle total was this week so maybe he is getting it a little bit. see I don't need any of you I can argue with myself LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Robert James, Mike Peterson AND Ernie Sims are ALL weakside LBers. That's Spoon's spot.I'm calling for Pat Schiller. He's a MLB, and judging from the preseason, he has the potential to be a **** good one. I don't want to draw on stereotypes, him being a white MLB and all, but the dude has some Urlacher in him.

TheFatboi Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yall trippin. Not for THIS game. Don't change up just be ready. With each game Dent plays he's getting reps. If anything Peterson but I wouldn't switch Dent for this particular game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Give Dent another shot after the bye, but don't be hesitant to pull him early next game if unproductive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye of the Falcon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 James at MLBer would be an utter disaster, you think Dent looks bad ? ...James is a fluid player whose strength is quickness, not a stout downhill thumper, you guys are living in fantasylandYou didn't answer my question. A mlb with fluid moves and quickness and another 15 lbs wouldn't be bad. Look, he may not work there, but J. Tuggle was not your protypical mlb either, but became one of the best to ever play for the Falcons. Just saying. No fantasyland here.

Karst41 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Schiller maybe?Couldn't be worse than Dent so far.No he would not be worse than Dent.He would however take a few weeks to adjust to the speed of the game.However, Dents play will improve upon the return of Corey Peters.If it does not then Schiller will get activated.
