Falcon Fantom Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) In my opinion, a back field of Samuels, Grimes, Robinson, Moore, and DeCoud great, any team would love to have that, but how are we going to keep them all, especially with the help and depth we need at LB, DE and DT especially. Moore and Grimes will want more money. Robinson's contract is ridiculous and he already restructured last year I believe. What are we to do? IDK, I do know that I liked how fearless and gutsy McClain played starting with the MNF game against the Broncos. Was he perfect the whole year, no, but he was soild and could be plugged in in case we lose Robinson or Grimes. JS. http://www.atlantafa...75-7920ecb2c445Could not find any highlights on the guy.

LightningDawg58 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He is a better cornerback than Robinson and makes a fraction of his pay. Its a no brainer to me. Cut Dunta loose. I can live without his 1 int, 8 pd, and 3 self knockouts a season. Dunta isnt a bad football player but we will never run the kind of scheme he needs to be successful. He is a press corner stuck on a soft zone defense. Bvg, Nolan, Smitty, it doesnt matter, when we play the best teams we will never press. Love his swagger and hits but he is the other teams go to guy when they need a first down.McClain has the goods, he is our next Grimes. We can keep him for cheap for most of his prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick0ne Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I will take him over D-Rob any day of the week. Young, fast, sure tackler, and doesn't give up much after the catch. He did very well playing the nickle and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fantom Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I like McClain and I definitely like Robinson. I would seperate with Robinson, only if the money saved was used on the D-line. The Falcons could afford to have McClain or Owens at NB if we keep, Grimes, Samuels, and a nasty pass rush and run stuffers emerges. Not enough time for QBs to get it off and no more pulling LBs and DBs in for run support and pass rush as often.

Guest Negatorris Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Bobby Mac is a beast. Great find by TD. I honestly think our secondary would be fine with him playing on the outside along with Asante. It might even be better to let Grimes walk, cut Dunta and draft a good corner like Trufant or Alford. Grimes and Dunta are expendable at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssippifalcon Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I dont think i could trust a nickle package of samuel, mcclain, and a rookie.what about owens at the nickel, owens has gotten much better and looks really good when playing in the nickle. I wouldnt be too opposed to seeing asante mcclain and owens playing the nickle package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiscoFalcon Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Grimes, Samuel, McClain, Alford, and Owens would be preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Dunta missed his calling. He should have been a head hunting free safety. Homey ain't skerred to level it up and knock a brother out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_ELLIS24 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 what makes all of you so sure that Grimes will be back? he's a FA and might take more money from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 No way we cut loose Bobby Mac!This guy will be our Top CB in 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Falcons got 11 picks and free agency. The combine is showing lots of talent on the defense. Falcons are **** close to squared away at offense outside of mr2. Hopefully we get lucky and get the hall of famer draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
