Sun Tzu 7 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Another TD bustI LOVE this!When we sign him it was clearly Quinn but now that he hasn't done anything it was TD.#QuinnMakesTheDecisions#Quinning#QuinnIsTheNewTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Free agents who work out for the Falcons are about as rare as an albino Bigfoot. It's almost to the point where it's comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defcon4 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yep..And he's wearing KB's number. just terrible.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I've tried to not be too harsh on the guy because of the groin issue but ****, he's making 4 mil a year and has been an absolute ghost on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Reed was a pretty productive player for Houston. Not the first guy I wanted but I definitely expected more. Maybe he was better suited in the 3-4 as an edge setter. I think we thought we could get pass rush out of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We get as much from PS players as we get from the FA players... at some point the tide will turn on the FA front and it'll be a run of Lombardi Trophies in ATL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It looks like only 9 mil of Reed's 22 mil is guaranteed and he has already received 6.9 mil of it in his signing bonus and 2015 salary. From the way it looks to me can be cut after next season with minimal hit to the cap. To me it looks like a team friendly deal. Any cap experts out there see it that way too?

PokerSteve Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Quinn brought him in because he likes the speed and competitiveness Reed brings to the Injured List. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Most of this place was falling all over themselves with the FAs the golden child brought in. If you questioned them, you were shouted down. So far, you really have to dig to find a worthwhile addition Quinn made this off-season.

Hometownfan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Reed has 0 sacks. Beasley has 2 sacks. Sacks seem to be a team problem---maybe the scheme? Maybe play more man in coverage and give the D a little more time to get to the QB? It's the short pass over the middle---the quick pass to the hot receiver--that's killing the sack numbers.

1989Fan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Reed's contract and position is what will keep us from going after Bruce Irvin. Hopefully Reed can come to form at SLB, we can sign Travathan for our speedy MLB and draft a WLB in the first two rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Old Pappy Falcon* Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Gotta cut the useless weight and money and go hard after big name...........and healthy players in prime years..........kinda like madden mut team if you don't understand.

It's the short pass over the middle---the quick pass to the hot receiver--that's killing the sack numbers.The scheme is fine. The talent is the problem. The Jags and the Seahawks run the same scheme. Jacksonville has 29 sacks so far and Seattle has 31.Reed was a pretty productive player for Houston. Not the first guy I wanted but I definitely expected more. Maybe he was better suited in the 3-4 as an edge setter. I think we thought we could get pass rush out of himThat's pretty much the role he plays here when the Falcons are in base.

defcon4 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Appox 255 to 260 plays..which may equate to 5 games. He has 13 tackles and that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantafan21 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 And that is w JAX stud rookie pass rusher on IR all season.Jacksonville is all about scheme and not necessarily talent. Bradley and whoever the DC is runs tons of blitzes and uses a bunch of tricks to get after the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
