There are lots of WRs better than where Roddy is at now. Sanu isn't one of them though... Exactly. That's all i wanted. If we are gonna cut him, upgrade him, and have a plan. We have nothing outside of julio. We don't know what Hardy will be yet, i think he is gonna be good though. We just really dont have much quality depth there. Personally i wouldn't have cut him until then and went for the bigger cap relief. That way if you couldnt get a upgrade, you keep him.

The reason why they cut him and tookthe less cap relief is because there is 0 dead $$$$$ next year.We've already shown our hand how this offense can work we're upgrading the o-line have improved the run game whose to say we need a bunch of studs at WRer all we need is guys who will do ajob and base the offense around #11 and Devonta as the marquees everyone else are just chain movers.

He will crush it with JJ on the other side and a run game, Not to mention, MR will finally have time to throw the ball....Use your friggin brain Im using and it tells me you dont have one. Roddy got open. That is a fact. Roddy is old and declining, but you are go to extremes trying to bash him. Sanu hasn't done anything. He has alot to prove. Just not sure he's the answer. He is being overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Like a bunch of others here I'd be good if we passed on Sanu. I just wasn't all that impressed and think we can do better if we're trying to upgrade at WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingbee Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The guy could excel in a better scheme. I don' think he was utilized properly with his previous team, and he was treated like a #4. The guy is talented, and TD and his staff will come-up with a creative signing, without much CAP Hit. In Atlanta, he could become the #2 or #3 receiver, and his numbers will improve dramatically. Much better choice than Hankerson, and more athletic and a big receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*NiteFalcon* Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Sanu is better than everyone is giving him credit for. He will be very solid as our #2, my only concern would be Shanahan's offense which historically has struggled to get through progressions and feature other receiving threats besides RB's and WR#1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic fail. Please provide the contract we offered to Irvin. You see, a team has to want the player, just like the player has to want to the team.

Think he would cost less also I wouldn't mind him either but will happy if we can land 1 of them. Falcons needs a big body WR but Kearse seems to be able to go overtop better.

Oh4Real?! Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 & so was Roddy at 33 years old and was STILL more effective in a offensive scheme that didn't give two shxts about him. So there's REALLY no valid reason this guy deserves 7 million per year. 4-5 seems fair and even that's a stretch. I would have thrown 7 at Travis Benjamin because he actually performed well.

Meanwhile, Roddy was behind Julio, Jacob Tamme and Devonta Freeman, and would have been behind Hankerson but for injury. Sanu's targets were diminished because he was behind a legitimate bunch of studs. Roddy's were diminished because he was behind 1 legitimate stud, a half-decent TE and a really good RB.

KRUNKuno Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 You mean Sanu had a chance to sign with the Patriots and play with Tom Brady, but chose Atlanta "because if Matt Ryan"? Riiiiiiiiight. He chose us because we threw money at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanu has bad hands, look at his drop rate, this is why he was relegated to the 4th option. Stop trying to rationalize he is better than Roddy White because he is not and has never been. Hopefully this is his chance to emerge into a true baller and make a name for himself but he has NEVER been that! Roddy and Kyle had beef and that's why he didn't get the ball. Yes Roddy lost a step or two but in 2014 in had over 900 yards in 2015 Matt didn't even look his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people still post when they've no clue what they are talking about? His contract IS ONLY 14 MIL GUARNTEED. THE FALCONS NEED A BIG WR WHICH IS WHY SANU WAS BROUGHT IN. 5'10" 170 lbs or 6'2" 210 lbs? Why is this so ******** difficult to understand?

MD-FalconFan13 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) People are so obnoxious. Most likely haven't watched a single Bengals game that wasn't against the Falcons, yet they're suddenly "Experts" on their players. Check him out first at least. The guy is a player. Tough, physical and will be a handful to cover. He'll be one of the few players other than Julio and Freeman that can actually get YAC!! The WCO thrives with players who can get YAC on short throws. Sanu is deceptively fast and physical after the catch. Think a slightly slower Julio that loves catches over the middle and running afterwards. Plus is versatile enough to run out of any position from X,Y or Z WR slot. He can also run any route. The guy is the a valuable and versatile chess piece. Did we spend a tad too much, perhaps. But in a year where the options aren't plentiful we paid market value for a needed addition. Edited March 12, 2016 by MD-FalconFan13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when Mohamed Sanu was the No. 2 WR option you could argue he had the bigger impact than M. Jones did last year. In 2014 Sanu was the go to No. 2 his stats were: 56 receptions on 98 targets that's 57% catch percentage, He averaged 14 yds per catch and totaled 790 yds w/ 5 TDs; he had 4 games over 80+ yds and 2 over 100+ yds. In 2015 M. Jones was the go to No. 2 his stats were: 65 receptions on 103 targets that's 63 catch percentage, He averaged 12.6 yds per catch and totaled 816 yds w/ 4 TDs; he had 3 games with over 80+ yds and none over 100+ yds This doesn't even take into consideration that Sanu has been more healthy. M. Jones missed an entire season. And Sanu is a little younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
