Draftnut57 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I told you before the season you were going to be shocked when Freeman gets on the field this year, because most on here wanted Coleman to start. But I will have to confess that even I didn't know he would play this well. I thought he may could get around 100 total yards and be our dependable starter. Well, He's doing way better than anyone could have imagined. But the only reason why I didn't think he would get as many yards as he has is because I was thinking about our old system , and forgot we would be playing in the new system where we run the ball a lot more. So it makes sense that he is getting so many touches. I love this new system and have from the day they hired Quinn, I knew it was going to be great , but I didn't know it would be this soon . Sure glad thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeitdown Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah. Kid is way better than I gave him credit for. I saw tons of arm tackles last year and it concerned me.But he's broken a ton of arm tackles while maintaining vision for the hole this year, and he's very good at pressing the hole until it develops. Biggest pleasant surprise for me on the Falcons in a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintez Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Absolute machine.Not a mere flash in the pan, a legit top tier NFL running back and he's ours.Not even a halfback, he's a complete back.After this game, and he's had some good ones, I know Freeman is legit. Dude is a feature back and a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMeatTroughsEgo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I always said Freeman was a bigger, stronger and faster Jacquizz. I suppose I was right...but had no idea he would be this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Free is some freaky combination of Ray Rice and Turner. 3 games in a row cannot be a fluke. The running game is going to help us immensely once December and January roll around. I cannot wait to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Free is truly one of my favourite players now. After he was robbed of that TD he came right back out, refused to be brought down by a mere three defenders and got it again anyways. Really love him.

JD dirtybird21 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I admit I wanted Coleman to be the starter entering the season. Freeman has amazed me. I love his never give up menatlity. He looks like he gives 150% on every play until he goes down and when he goes down he's pissed that he got tackled. Dude is straight up ballin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonDaLuvMaker Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Freeman is just as dangerous as a WR as he is a RB.He was out wide as a WR when he scored his 1st touchdown vs the Skins that should've counted.The man is an all-around playmaker.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Would not be surprised if Freeman ends up the all purpose yards leader by season's end.He may be #1 in that category right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow6 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Devonte is probably my second favorite player on offense behind Julio, and even then it is close. I know it's only a few games but Devonte has been LIGHTS OUT. Tough, incredible acceleration and vision. I like Coleman and all but I don't mind if he doesn't see the field as much.

MilleniumFalcon Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Both Coleman and Ward are good as well so Falcons truly have a three headed running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Loving Freeman. Can you imagine if he was just doing OK and if Teco was just doing OK with Gurley going for 300 rushing yds total the last two weeks?It would have been I told ya so on all the "Gurlie to Atlantie" stuff. Would have ruined TATF.THANK GOD FOR FREEMAN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawggone Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Would not be surprised if Freeman ends up the all purpose yards leader by season's end.He may be #1 in that category right now.I actually believe he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Freeman is the MVP of season.I always thought he would be just a better Quizz...running/catching.I didn't forsee DF ceiling being this high. In this system, Free is a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
