The_Realist 102 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) 16 minutes ago, TheFatboi said: It has nothing to do with him beating “nobodies”. He’s beaten some defecent corners. It’s more that Julio draws coverage away from everybody and DJ Moore doesn’t have that luxury. He didn’t do much against tru and Alf. If Matt would’ve looked for Ridley against the eagles instead of trying to force feed Julio he probably would be #1. That game is probably why he doesn’t have the top spot. we're literally agreeing. me saying nobodies is what you're saying about julio drawing the coverage away. its often #3 CBs left on an island with ridley because of julio. and you're right, they're nfl caliber players. not nobodies. but you see what i'm saying Edited November 9, 2018 by The_Realist Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy good draft. Excited about the 19 draft when we should have a couple compensation picks. Those are like gold with the way the FO drafts in the mid rounds. Players the falcons have drafted in the 4th round or later since DQ & TD started working together. Hardy, Jarrett, Campbell Schweitzer, Kazee, Saubert, Smith, Gage, Olokun That's 4 that are starting, 4 that are solid contributers and a joker TE that may still develop. Hill is also on the roster, means the Falcons haven't given up on him yet either. Don't know how that compares to other teams, seems like pretty good work to me.

stizz 5,594 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This is exactly why I laughed when people wanted Quinn gone so quickly. He's the best talent evaluator the city has ever seen and it isn't really close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.11 8,188 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 4 hours ago, The_Realist said: Moore is rated higher because he gets better coverage. Ridley has beaten some absolute nobodies for his TDs. Albeit, the way he's doing it is impressive enough that someone who knows NFL football knows it will translate against better defenders. PFF doesn't account for such Edit: I'm more surprised Roquan Smith isn't on the LB list. Circumstantial? Or was his preseason holdout that big of a factor? I doubt that. How can PFF objectively account for who Ridley matched up against? What are they gonna do? Deduct points because he burned Marcus Williams instead of Marshon Lattimore? That's ridiculous and unfair. If anything, Calvin ends up getting graded lower because his usage is higher, which therefore lends to a greater sample size and a greater chance for negative plays. And as Fatboi already mentioned, he wasn't featured in against the Eagles because Ryan kept force-feeding Julio. But Ridley is a standout WR. He can run every route in the tree and be utilized in other ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite the opposite, actually drafted DJ Moore and dropped him 3 weeks into the season for Ridley. DJ Moore has been available all year long in my league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope but they did need someone with a vision and system which they did not have prior to 2015. I'm not saying we don't have a ton of talent but DQ is little different from other coaches as he is not necessarily looking for the best guy for a position but rather the best traits that fit a role. That's why you "reach" for Keke, Debo and Campbell or draft a relative unknown from an Ivy league school. Their traits in this system make them very effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLskinjob 917 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The emergence of Foye really is a nice silver lining to losing Debo. It's really thrown him straight into the fire and made him better every single game. This is the type of development that I always dreamed about when Smith was here, but it just never happened. I guess it kinda did with Worrilow, but he was just never as good as anyone wanted him to be. It's interesting to think that he might have never been able to make this much progress without all of this time on the field and maybe we would have never really left the bench without having to grow up so fast. He's really looking like a steal right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
