Mid-Nite-Toker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Is Taylor Mays someone the Falcons should make a move for?Vikings have a deep roster of safeties and we don't. Always heard his strength was coverage.The Vikes had him on a 1 year deal for approximately $800,000...$25,000 guaranteed.Have your say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlightreel08 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Couldn't hurt to bring him in considering our lack of depth at the position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Couldn't hurt to bring him in considering our lack of depth at the positionThat's what I think.Hoping some members have more insight on whether he is a fit or just not good enough...not worth the trouble.

Power I Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 His strength definitely is not coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 You bring him in for LB/Safety/ST/hatchetman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTBF54 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Mays' is SS/LB and we need FS help more IMO...He is recovering from shoulder surgery, popped out of the socket on an October 27 tackle attempt tearing the labrum in two places... Could be why he got cut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 His strength definitely is not coverage.^^^ This exactly, and as KOG said, he would play a pretty specific role if we even considered it. Use him as depth and as an enforcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of the Gaucho Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Mays is a name and a workout warrior. He is also the poster boy for why physical skills can't overcome the mental aspects of the game. He had insane measurables coming out, but did jack with it, even when playing under a great defensive mind in Zimmer. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraTurbo 2000 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Came out of school too early cannot cover, pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraTurbo 2000 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 4 years of active school is only too little if you are trying to be a doctor...seems I remember him coming out saying carrol didn't teach him right. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but didn't he come from USC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 What Gaucho said! This guy is still in the league because he was a decent college player at a premier program and he looks good in pads. He hasn't done jack since he got in the league. Hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM12 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 pass. pass pass pass.We need range, not another thumper. Moore and Ish are both better players at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I said it before Taylor was drafted he would be a better WLB than safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFalcon36 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I remember he got the "next Polamalu" kind of hype when he came out, what a massive letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugger8 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 He'd be a camp body/competition. I wouldn't make it a priority, or call it a 'fix,' but I wouldn't be upset if we brought him in to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd consider it if it looked like Willy Mo's injury/surgery recovery goes longer than expected. He's definitely not a FS, which is what we need most, but we could always use more LB/ Safety depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just not a good player. Impressive pedigree, poor on-field performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of the Gaucho Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 seems I remember him coming out saying carrol didn't teach him right. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but didn't he come from USC?He had a problem with Carroll because he alleged that Carroll told him he would be the 1st round pick of the Seahawks, but then went with Earl Thomas instead. Still, it wasn't a big deal, I thought May's handled it pretty well.That being said, he has done jack with his talents thus far, and he's had plenty of chances.

darealist Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well maybe he could work in our simple system? Those measurables are still great, and he is only 27. Maybe he could benefit from K.I.S.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
