monson007 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I know all the board whiners thought the signing of ex-Jaguars went out the door with Mike Smith, but now you can all say hello to Justin Durant. He was playing well for Dallas leading them in tackles before he got hurt. Hopefully he stays healthy for the Falcons. Brooks Reed was a solid pickup, not real flashy, but solid, and I guess Hankerson will be the new 3rd option receiver. I just hope these guys realize that Matt Ryan is a pocket Quarterback and needs a sound offensive line. I guess they are saving the money for the draft picks.

MayorWest13 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well they have been interested in guards this week. Clint Boling was one but he was resigned by the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RING OF HONOR Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Its going to take a couple of years...get some guys that fit the scheme and evaluate...then next year build off of that...I think we will have a decent season...but I dont expect us to be contenders until next year...

kiwifalcon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Pretty underwhelming thus ar from me.I want a difference maker and there looking pretty slim at this stage in our positions of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Meh. Anybody who thought that spending most of the available money on a couple of flashy free agents would plug the holes on our roster wasn't watching the same games I watched last season. Two studs are not the equal of five or six solid contributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sorry, Suh takes that one hands down! Miami's defense is gonna be scary as ****. Funny though, after the Incognito fiasco you wouldn't think they'd want another troublemaker in the bunch this soon, let alone the most expensive one in NFL history.

TwinFields Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Quinn's approach is to implement his system, which is to use the personnel to their strong points. That much we didn't go into free agency to buy big for a guy not right for the job. Instead we strenghten our defensive core with versatile players that have something to prove.

ocoee_falcon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Difference makers don't come in free agency- at least not for a team that has managed 10 wins in the past 2 seasons. Big splash free agents are for teams that are one guy away. So far, I haven't seen any moves in free agency that are going to significantly change the fortunes of a team. Philly has done some trading. Seattle has done some trading. Those were difference making moves. The Dolphins getting Suh...that doesn't scream Super Bowl to me. Furthermore- what in the name of Jeebus hisself has little Tommy Shavedlegs done in his entire career to make any of you think that he is going to be able to fix ANYTHING on the defensive side of the ball. In seven years he has gotten 8 legit football players- Turner, Ryan, Jones, Moore, Gonzalez, Trufant, Asamoah, and Matthews- only 2 of them on defense and only one of those was a free agent.

I agree and disagree. On a team like ours. .There were/are still plenty of options that are better than what we have at the linebacker positions.. Same goes for D Line. even moderate upgrades across the board are "difference makers". My whole thought was maybe we get the bare bones or foundation of the type of def guys Quinn wanted, then we add our future stars in the draft..So far, we still have numerous holes that im afraid we may need to go in the draft needing to fill, which won't allow us to go through and get the playmakers our team so desperately needs. I just hope we have players in place that wont make us desperate for guys and picking them earlier than they should be. My only hope im reserving is Quinn is waiting the market out until the prices come down, then towards the end of this FA period we pull in 3 or 4 more guys that help fill out our front 7 on defense, and can provide quality depth.

ocoee_falcon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Look at the numbers for the Seahawks D last year. For all their mightiness- no player in double digit sacks. Bennett had 7, Irvin 6.5, Hill, 5.5, Avril 5...then a smattering of 1 and 2 sack guys.Dan Quinn is bringing in exactly who he said he would.
