Gotta be honest... Alford might be gone

[GET-ME-A-DB-TD 763]

I have never seen an NFL player absolutely REFUSE to turn his head and look back. I can't tell how many times Alford has almost gotten hit in the helmet while defending a pass. This is bad bro.

Deuces. At one point last season he had a 30+ game streak with a penalty 

[The Don™ 3,318]

Save over 8 million cutting him. Just 1.2 mil in dead cap. It's an easy cut.

[Sun Tzu 7 11,835]

I knew he was gone the second they drafted Oliver.

Maybe 3 people agreed with me.

[Faithful Falcon 6,199]

I think he's been benched.

Been saying it all year. At one point I thought he might even hold some trade value but I doubt it now.

But seriously wtf happened too him??? He was doing so well the first 3-4 games this season that Madden raised rating to like a 86......... he back to 80 again and rightfully so........ he needs to go see a psych or something. He flails at the ball and receiver like it's his fist time in the pool. Lawd help this dude

He's gone for sure, we should draft another CB and Trufant will be next if he doesn't get his act together next season. 

[JD dirtybird21 14,236]

He’s definitely cut after this season. It’s a lock 

[sdogg 8,930]

Just about all on the D needs to be gone. 

[D.B.N. 4,015]

Alford and Trufant both suck. CB is a big need 

[cwell1 1,099]

None of our CBS turn their heads. Been that way for years. That portion of their position definitely isn’t enforced in practice

[A-TowN.- 4,464]

Not a tough choice at all. Save money and gets a liability off our team.

Since Manuel became DC and quit coaching the secondary, they haven’t been the same. Regressed big time. 

[KCFalcon22 391]

I say let Manuel go back to coaching the secondary and give me Kris Richards as DC

[Spts1 4,542]

Is he taking Quinn with him?

They’ve regressed yes, but they didn’t turn their heads to find the ball before that. They’ve always rathered attack the receiver than locate the ball to force a turnover. Brent Grimes was the only corner we’ve had in a long period of time that would look to locate the ball in the air and make a play

[Sui_Generis 2,668]

Should have been gone last year.

[DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins 1,736]

I think after all the injuries, several players quit. Alford and Trufant among them.

That's mostly bad news (low mental toughness), but at least they still have the ability to play ok if we get back on track next year.

[FalconFanSince1969 9,626]

Alfords style doesn't mesh well with no safety help. He's a gambler like Asante Samuel was. If you dont trust your help you cant play your game.

Alford's contract isn't the problem it's Trufants
