Skeetbird Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Around The NFL staff: We're assuming a trade with San Francisco to bring back Kyle Shanahan is out of the cards (sorry, Falcons fans). With the offense still struggling, Dan Quinn's defense must pick up the slack. It's not the biggest need, but adding a physical corner like the Colts' Davis could transform Atlanta's defense. He's an upgrade over Robert Alford on the outside. Becoming stickier on the back end would help elevate Quinn's pass rush. With the Colts headed down the tube and Davis about to hit free agency, it shouldn't cost a ton to pry him away from Indy. Potential cost: 2018 fourth- or fifth-round pick.

caponine Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I wouldnt disagree with this, he was an elite corner. Maybe he can get back to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it’s an upgrade, but even if it is, it’s not a big upgrade and we have already paid Alford & Tru. Alford is underrated IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 LOL why in the world would the Falcons be looking to replace Alford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsIn2012 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Our pass defense is ok. Only allowing 6.1 yards per pass (9th in NFL) and 218 yards passing per game. The Rubin signing made more sense because we’ve been getting gashed up the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's true that both Alford and Trufant got beaten by Anderson yesterday, but look at the two plays. Alford had perfect coverage and the Anderson just made an unbelievable diving catch. Where the ball was thrown the play was pretty much impossible to defend. Against Trufant, Anderson beat him so bad that I thought maybe he was calling for a fair catch on that TD. The announcers even described Trufant as having his feet in cement or something like that.

Atlantafan21 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 A trade for a RG, LB, or even WR makes more sense than trading for a CB. Although having Davis would be nice, he's got a pretty good sized contract on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Media half-wits have to produce something, so they just come up with nonsense like this. Our backs are not nearly as hapless as people are claiming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Falcons are ok CB. Can't say what they have is just perfect. Atlanta is in bed with them for some time as management just inked then to some nice $ contracts. I am having a hard time pulling for Trufant. I have seen a few games where he just looks like he is not going to give his best effort. It was either a Saints game or last years Packers game they just abused Trufant and he looked like he could care less about covering his guy. Then he will come out the next game and play like an all pro. I also think Alford gets some flags that are not justified. People here can say what they want negative about him. I see a player getting after it on every play. I like how aggressive he plays. Would love to see more of that from Tru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 At the very least, Trufant is going through a crisis of confidence. You can see it not only in his play but on his face. The other alternative is that he already cashed in so he just doesn't give a f*** anymore. I sincerely hope that is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
