Nino11 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Is guys like Durant, Clayborn, Reed and Scofield. I think even Jacob Tamme can be solid as a pass catcher and safety valve. Durant was the Cowboys leading tackler before he went down and Schofield has the heads up on the schemes Quinn likes to run. Clayborn has been getting praise early and Reed seems like a versatile player that can play the linebacker or Leo in our new scheme. Seems like we have legit depth this year for the first time in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith2001 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The draft buzz is already wearing off and once OTAs get here, "free agency" and "draft" will be gone and it will all be about one cohesive team and who will be starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuggle'2 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think Schofield and Reed are gonna shine this year. Making the transition for Beasley an easier one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I cannot wait to see how the roster shakes out. I hope that the Falcons play the best 22. No favorites, no fear, just a commitment to the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconBlood Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 If we see the best 22 on the field this year, >9 wins is my projection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino11 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think Schofield and Reed are gonna shine this year. Making the transition for Beasley an easier one. I wasn't ever really high on Reed I think he may start growing on me though. I think injuries and playing outta position dogged him a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Dog Named Brian Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If we see the best 22 on the field this year, >9 wins is my projection.Having the best or the one with the 'hot hand' on the field at all times will be a nice change of pace. On a side note: Glad I'm not the only one on these boards looking forward to some Star Wars later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Schofield, Reed and Durant were low key moves but they are huge upgrades to the line-backing corps. We actually have some depth at the position now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbabygrady Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Bartu has played a ton of snaps for us so it would be a shame to cut him and waste all the time that's been invested in developing him. But there are so many LBs on the roster now, Bartu could be on the bubble if a guy like Maponga or Allen Bradford is deemed to be a better fit for a specific role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafalconfan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think Durant is going to wow us with some of his disruptive plays.. He's a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I enjoyed reading in the Vaughn article about how the team was marveling over Schofield's speed around the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it will be Durant and Clayborn that will surprise people. I've been wrong before but I just get a feeling about those two that they are going to be better than we expected and stay healthy.This would also make Beasley's transition easier.

I see him as a speed rusher though and idk if he fits at the Leo but I think he can get to the QB consistently if given a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*TMo* Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Seems like our linebackers have been a weakness for a coupla years now. The three free agents are welcome additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as a speed rusher though and idk if he fits at the Leo but I think he can get to the QB consistently if given a chanceI think Stansley will be 3rd on the LEO depth chart behind beasley and schofield, and for that reason i believe Beirmann does not make the cut when Quinn has the final say (equal ability or less, and higher price tag for being depth), and TD just gave his prior draft pick a parting gift in some guaranteed money this year...
