charliechaplin Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Is still a FA. I guess his workout not only didn't impress the Falcons, but he failed to impress any other team. I felt like him leaving FB without an offer was more likely money related, yet he is still unemployed. Seems like he would be an upgrade to our O line. But maybe not. Did anyone hear definitively why the Falcons passed on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm actually pretty sure he'll be a Falcon soon. Just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hey the people here said no to him and mathis. Then they said long would be a backup if he was signed. After last night they are crying no to what's on the roster now. Only thing I heard Quinn say is that he is still an option. He may have wanted more than they wanted to pay him. Who knows.

Truth B Told (TRU) Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm actually pretty sure he'll be a Falcon soon. Just a hunch.Where would you play Long if we signed him? At his natural LT position and move Matthews to LG or at RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I would be signing him as a swing tackle with the potential to start once he gets himself in playing shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLFalcons11 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If Schraeder can play Guard, then I'm down to signing him. Otherwise our Tackles seem fine. It's the inside if the OL and I'm pretty sure Long can't play Guard.I was all for Evan Mathis though but maybe he wasn't all for us. He did say that he waneed to play for a contender.

ATLFalcons11 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ouch! Hoping he is wrong about that.Yea truth hurts, even though I think we are a contender. To me contender means playoff hopeful or bound and anything can happen there. Maybe he has the same meaning and didn't think we were there, maybe he has a different meaning, or maybe he was never an option but believes we are contenders.Our last 2 years just doesn't scream contender to everybody though.

hjerry Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There's obviously more going on with Long than many here are willing to admit, and I'd prefer to avoid desperation signings. Sign him if he's the right choice, not b/c the fans are freaking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him if he's the right choice, not b/c the fans are freaking out.Agreed. At this point I think we're all freaking out a little, and Long looks like the best "name" available in FA.I have to think we will be adding help at OT over the next couple of weeks, though. Especially with Polumbus nicked up and no word on when Holmes will he back.Matthews, Asamoah, Hawley, Chester, Schraeder as the startersStone and Person as backups, with two new players as added depth/competition (cut Polumbus, Holmes on PUP)Rodgers and Replogle on the PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'd like Long, but Tackle isn't as big of an issue as Guard and Center. I'd love to steal Alex Mack from Cleveland, and grab Andy Levitre if the Titans cut bait.I'll gladly take all 3, but that's impossible.

MAD597 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 At this point sign him just to light a fire even if he is washed up, also he can't be worse then what we have now. Yates seemed to play better after we signed Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't know the situation that well, but isn't there major health concerns with him, isn't this why he's unsigned, especially at this point in the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
