Bruce Irvin

[falcon22 154]

I sure hope the Falcons find a way to keep him. He brings a different attitude to the team and has gotten much more pressure on the QB in the last three weeks than what they were getting before. 

[ya_boi_j 35,683]

Definitely hope he stays

[Matt_The Iceman_Ryan 1,224]

He’s a solid rotational piece. I think he and Beasley sitting snaps at a 50/50 rate is fine. I like Takk on the other side with whomever they want in a bigger base DE set.

We need to blitz and scheme better and I think our defense will improve to Top 15 with guys returning...

I don’t want to pay Grady ridiculous $$$, so we shall see what happens, but I do like Grady, Crawford, Senat and a rookie stud next year...

I’ve seen enough from Oliver to cut Alford...Tru want be gone next year. His contract is not favorable.

Will be interesting to see what we do with Kazee, Neal, Allen, Poole...

Neasman and others can pound sound...

Ishmal got fat...

Duke is fine as a depth LB and I like Deion at WLB, Campbell at SLB...I actually think we could entertain a true MLB like #40 from LSU???

[Lowndesfalc 1,381]

Absolutely, Takk and Vic have started playing better since he's arrived. I'd be all in for a three year deal.

[UniteandConquer 1,528]

SIGN HIM BACK ASAP!!

Meh. Dude sucked so bad when he was here.  I’d prefer someone in the draft late but I also believe in second chances & resurrecting ones career also.  So I’m neutral about it I think.

When he was here? He’s only been a falcon for a few weeks and has performed exceptionally well. You must be thinking about someone else

Agree with everything except Duke and Neasman. Duke is struggling on this level. Neasman could play for me. He went off today and has put two or three good games together. Great depth at SS in case Neal needs a few games or gets hurt again.

Irvin is definitely in my current off season re-tooling plan. If we can get him at a similar vet min contract like the one he's on with a $1.5M cap hit. Maybe go $2.0-2.5M. We need playmakers on defense. He's a playmaker.

[WhenFalconsWin 21,093]

Irvin has balled since he's been here.  Keep him, would be a great role/rotation guy and God knows we know how important that is after this years injuries. 

[Macintez 1,289]

Keep him... He wants to be here. Let him bring that ATL attitude to the Falcons because these country GA boys not getting it done.

[bossFALCON™ 2,046]

Irvin and Beasley on a decreased rate would be great for our defense. Add in a top 15 DT and a healthy neal and we’re on a roll.

We needed Irvin all season, not sure why Takk has dropped off since he came.. But Bruce is definitely a huge asset

Agree with this augment to the quoted post. Possible Alford stays with restructured cap hit after his year performance but we definitely will cut if needed to invest in the lines and draft another corner round 3-4 if needed. Tru is fine. Neas as a box S is good depth. Duke is questionable and I’d rather have Ish back.

Same for Irvin, Vic on a prove it deal, and Grady to something reasonable (IMO well structured $15ishM average with money up front for his pockets; while we can flex his cap hit later in contract life)

Takk beasted today and was close last week. I wouldn't throw dirt on him yet. He's a playmaker. Trust me.

I doubt that. Really play different positions if schemed correctly.

Reed is great depth and affordable.

[achin2be 480]

He’s gonna have to give a hometown discount.

Takk is been our best DE the past 3 games.

It’s a little concerning that it took an established vet for that to happen... as opposed to development from their dline coach.

 

[LookAboutFalcon 2,918]

I'll give him the Vet min.  I ain't paying him more than that.

[UGABOZ 1,205]

Bruce as a pass rusher would be great

If we can keep em both for $18-20,000,000 total per year I’m down
