Truth B Told (TRU) Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Falcons signed LB Philip Wheeler.The eighth-year veteran was released by the 49ers before Week 1. Wheeler signed a huge deal with the Dolphins prior to the 2013 season, but was a bust, and started only four games in 2014. He'll serve as depth for a run defense allowing a league-low 78.8 yards per game. Once upon a time, Wheeler was also good in coverage. Oct 20 - 3:26 PMI knew Wheeler signed with the 9ers this offseason, but what I didn't know was that he did not play in 3 consecutive preseason games due to a sprained leg. Not sure if that was a factor of him not making the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechaplin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If there is one thing with Worrilow that I disagree with ya'll.. is his athletic ability. All he needs to do is improve is his awareness in coverage. He's a good enough athlete to keep up with most backs and TE's (receivers like Cooks will burn him tho). He's good in man to man.. from what I have seen. But when he's in zone coverage.. my god he is horrible. The dude knows what his assignment is and executes well. But I have seen him time and time again miss opportunities to break up a pass or int the ball. He needs to watch A LOT of tape.He lacks speed. You can't coach up speed. He is a liability in coverage and it is no longer a secret. Losing Shembo hurt us in coverages. Wheeler is better in that area, although I realize he won't supplant PW. I guess Quinn/Smith have a plan for him though and if he returns to form he should help the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Gossett Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Does this mean Durant is going to be out for a while longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 BYE BYE WorrilowSome of you say that every time we sign someone,, Worrlow is going nowhere unless he gets hurt. Then he'll be on injured reserve. He's a very good player or they would let him go. Are you watching the same games I am? He a very solid player or he's done been gone.

AndySG Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think that we are genuinely working people out all the time. Continuous improvement seems to be a big part of Quinn's regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold4425 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm just soooooo happy this FO is willing to spot problems and go out and make some moves unlike years past when we just sat on our hands and hoped things would be better or went out and got some no name, non productive guy who you had to google to find out who he was.

sonnyjim Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I was just wondering about what this signing might mean for Worrilow.I like Alan Bradford's play. DQ must know something I don't, but he knew enough to give him a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMT11 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 probably wont replace Durant but need something better than whoever is playing in place of him now, Bartu or Stupar not sure which but probalby upgrading Durants backup is what looks to be.

Ezekiel 25:17 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Don't know how or why y'all consider worrilow a good Lb. Hard worker and a good story, but he never makes impact plays and is only decent at run defense. Let's not even talk about pass defense.Saying wor is a good lb because of tackle stats is like saying decoud is a good safety because of INTs....or that cam is a top qb because he's scored a lot of total touchdownsIf we are being fair, he is better than Decent in the run game. More closer to solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Interesting quote. He was terrible in coverage for the Phins.We'll see tho .Man coverage, yeah but hes good playing zone coverage when the play is in front of him. Good fit for cover 3.

FentayeJones Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Replacing Durant/weakside - guess hes gonnna be up and down.Nah, I think it more of an indictment on Bartu. Hes way better depth than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
