Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 -- I am not a fan of slow, plodding backs. Michael Turner fits that description to perfection He had 17 yards on 13 carries against Tampa. The Falcons are a fast team that plays on a fast track with a slow back. That makes no sense. It appears the Falcons are moving more toward Jacquizz Rodgers, and that's the right thing to do.-- Falcons corner Asante Samuel takes a lot of crap for not tackling. But he showed some toughness playing through a shoulder injury against the Bucs. He appeared to hurt it again late on the final Hail Mary of the game. Dunta Robinson, the team's other corner, left with a concussion. It will be interesting to see if they can get back for Thursday's game against the Saints.http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/pete-prisco/21141670/monday-musings-where-do-they-get-their-franchise-qb- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR Falcon Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Wasn't Robinson back on the field on the Hail Mary play, I thought that was him checking on Samuel af ter the play was over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morehouse11 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 He needs to stop torpedoing people with his head.Dunte REALLY fully believes he's a Ray Lewis type of linebacker! It really urks me, theres no way he can make it thru the whole season playing that way. I like him being aggressive but still play smart. it is not his job to be the "enforcer" on the D!

The Don™ Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Robinson didn't have a concussion. He came back in the game. He's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson's Finest Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 He needs to stop torpedoing people with his head.LOL. I had to laugh a bit after the hit. It was so **** hard that he couldn't get up immediately. I was thinking he was done. Thankfully he was cleared and doesn't seem to be serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosmith67 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Dunta didn't leave with a concussion, he was in on the last play. This whole article is lazy reporting. Dunta like that garbage player on the Saints left to be tested in the locker room and returned to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamnesiac34 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Dunte is an aggressive tackler and the Falcons need that. He did knock himself silly on that play, but he did come back later in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think Dunta left for evaluation only. If he had a concussion, he would not have been allowed to return. Because of the protocol I don't think that can be bypassed. So I fully expect him to be out there on Thursday.I'm totally impressed with Dunta's play this year. He ain't the greatest cover guy, but he's made some key tackles and will absolutely put a hurtin' on ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanForLife Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yeah I love the aggressiveness, but Dunta needs to protect himself a bit more instead of trying to knock somebody out on every tackle.I was just in awe of Asante playing through that injury. That's one of the gutsiest performances I have ever seen in an NFL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalFalconFan Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I disagree with those of you who are saying Robinson needs to play safer. I read that as less agressive. Dunta is one of only two or three guys who regularly set the tempo of aggression for the defense. He IS playing as smart as a defender can play who is pressing the edge of the psycho envelope, which the best defenders of the league regularly do. It's DEFENSE, for crying out loud.

StockSpyder Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I happen to like Dunta's ability to hit it's about the only part of his game that can make an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastFalcon902 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Man Dunta just cant seem to do anything right for most of you guys on this MB. Yeah the way he is tackling isnt proper technique but the way ive seen him bashed on this board its as if thats what some want to happen, him not on the field. Good lord let the man play!

Rybear Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 He didn't get hurt...why are people acting like he's an injury prone player because he hits hard? He's been solid this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think we want the big hits, but without self inflicting injurieslook at the size of the guy delivering the hits. Injuries will come with it. He wanted to go back on the field after his 1 play out but had to go get tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Duntas hit yesterday sent a msg to the Aints. Their top 2 WR got banged up yesterday. They will be thinking about 23 all day. If he lays wood on 1 of those guys Thursday saints will be playing scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
