Kizu_7 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 maybe that's the mindset you want in a player. I wonder if the Falcons are looking at him at 30?NFLN said he could go as high as 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashbrown3 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Darn good question. Teo is without a doubt a good, hard nosed LBer with some nice instincts. His limitations will only be evident in the pro game because of his lack of speed. He makes up for much of it with is quick reads and diagnosing plays. But the complexity of the pro game will slow that down. Will he be able to make plays sideline to sideline? Thats the question. Heck, we got rid of Lofton because he lacked some coverage skills and wanted more money than we were willing to shed. So why would the falcs turn around and go Teo with their first pick?

Dominique is Manufique Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I would bet the farm he is not in a falcon uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVJATL Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Brown, Greene, and Gooden are all LBs I'd take over T'eo. Please no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If we take a MLB, take Vince Williams in the fifth or something. I do like Te'o a decent bit, but he's not scheme versatile - he'd be dead weight in a hybrid D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Te'o a decent bit, but he's not scheme versatile - he'd be dead weight in a hybrid D.I don't disagree ... my premise is more based on the idea 'you can't tell how bad a guy wants it, or has something to prove' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 IDK, guys that have a chip on their shoulder usually show it. I kinda started to become wary of Te'o when he came into the combine unprepared and embarrassed himself. He knew that he was going to be scrutinized 10x more because of his situation and instead of taking advantage of the situation and balling out he kind of laid an egg.

He'll have to get used to that but like they said today, his team will tease him but 'you better believe if another team does, his guys will back him up.' I don't think it'd be a terrible pick at 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mattural Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Man I hope not, he's the next Tebow when it comes to the media. I couldn't stand having everything falcons related be about him barf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 so one bad game ...Te'o didn't have "one bad game" ... he played a real team and got exposed. Look at UGA vs. Bama, and look at ND vs. Bama. One was one of the greatest games of this generation, the other was an absolute embarrassment. Te'o might as well have been the waterboy for all he did.Man I hope not, he's the next Tebow when it comes to the media.

Tribal Chief Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The only people that feel as he really has something to prove are the people that watched him play one game throughout his entire college career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM12 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have zero issue with him as a person, guy got duped is my view.That said, to be a 1st round MLB you have to be Pat Willis - esque to justify it, especially with such a deep defensive draft.I don't think he is special as a football player. Good, yes. But I don't think he's walking into pro bowls anytime soon.And we need someone who will really impact our D. I don't think Te'o is that guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"thing" that a pro-bowl NFL player has. He will end up as depth on some team for a couple years, or a starter for the Jaguars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkonator Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Te'o is also more of a 2 down thumper type of LB. From what I've herd and read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
