joeyf714 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 You know it goes unsaid alot but this guy really is amazing. Think about it.When he came here the knock on him was he can never stay heathy. questionable attitude, etc.He's not only been awesome and for the most part durable. Hes done it year in and year out WITHOUT anyone on the opposite side worth spitting on.That in and of itself is incredible. Hes always out there hustling, making plays ,getting pressure, getting sacks, stripping the ball. He really has been invlauable.And at his age?? hes STILL doing it. Think about it, look at the Giants. they are getting ready to cut ties with Umenyiora and Justin Tuck, Both younger then Abe and neither have been very effective the last 2 years. And they line up with J.P.P. who's one of the best in the league. Who does Abe have??? lolSo id really love to see Abe get to the bowl, he deserves it. as does Tony G obviously. But i really feel like Abe gets overlooked and never spoken about when the media discusses us. Its always Matt, roddy, julio and Tony they speak about. So since today is a day to count blessings, im thankful for John Abraham ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungHeezy Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I credit Mike Nolan for the manner in which he kept Abe's snap count at a moderate level with the use of the 3/4 front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 he's been carrying the pass rush on our team for years. he's been our most important player, I'm so grateful that he's a falcon because our D would have been nothing without him. we've been a one-man pass rush team and he's been incredibly valuable.

Sui_Generis Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Great post OP. Abe has been great since arriving and suiting up in the red and black. I think some people lose sight of him during all the win one for Gonzo, Dimitroffed, blah, blah, blah. Let's win one for Abe too. He has been a stellar Falcon.

Dharma Initiative Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 A lot of posters don't agree, but I think there's no way he doesn't end up in the Ring of Honor.He's played for us for a long time now, longer than many in the ROH, and he's definitely been the motor of our defense for a few years. He's a Falcon legend still putting up numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savwboy9 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Props to the finest DE I ever watched in a Falcons uniform.. Now go get your hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Wilson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) I hope this thread reaches 10 pages and John has a chance to read it.68.5 Sacks and 25 Forced Fumbles as a Falcon.John Abraham is the master of the forced fumble from the DE postion. How much beter is a fumble than a sack? A lot of NFL DEs don't get that for some reason. Abe not only gets it but he's able to do it better than anyone else.
