He must have some lingering effects from his injury, because his ST value alone warranted a spot. I won't even mention his "breaklooseability" © Edited September 5, 2015 by Bunchy Carter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaschart Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Didn't see that coming.That tells me more than anything that nothing is sacred with this new regime.

jdawg4876 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I guess add a rb to the list of things we need. I didnt like any of the back ups all that much, the best one was Jerome Smith to me. ward was extremely hit or miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with that, but a little shocked.Didn't mean to quote myself...but it is what it is.That's why I said excellent. I love Smith and did so back in 2009 when we got him. Thought he'd be that 1-2 punch we needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeriver Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) That really does suck but I can see why they did it. I just feel bad for him because he really stated his case last season, so much so that even Arthur Blank gave him praise. He was one of about 4 bright spots on last years team (Ryan, Trufant, Julio, Antone). Even worse, there was sort of an implication from the hype last year that Antone had earned a spot as a Falcon long term. Hopefully Antone isn't too dejected.

KRUNKuno Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The guy cant stay healthy. He's been dinged up ever since he got here. He showed his worth though and hopefully some team will take a flier on him and sign him. Thanks Antone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaigle Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Bradford can take over his special teams roleFreeman and/or Coleman can do his job at RB ___new guy or Ward as the 1/2 down pounderI've always been a big fan of Antone Smith and I hate this but I kinda saw it coming just hoped I was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a need when the starter and his backup gets cut or seriously injured. Ward would do just fine as the third back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
