I used to think that Trufant had low ints totals because no QB threw towards him. Now, I see a cornerback who gives up plenty of completions, can't catch a ball, reluctant to tackle, and gets a high salary.

 

Not directed at you, but I have said that for years. The excuse that trufant wasnt thrown at was always weak. Dude is soft.

This stat is a flat out lie. Trufant broke up a deep pass with his left hand in the Carolina game and Alford defended a pass in the TB game. To say they had zero passes defended is wrong.

One of them have to go this off season I truly believe... But who? Alford too many dumb *** penalties soft coverage. Trufant hasn't been the same since injury and soft coverage. Which one would you want to keep?

Oliver isn’t the guy. Don’t want to hear the excuse that he’s a rookie. He just doesn’t pass the eye ball test. 

I'm not willing to write him off yet, but yeah I haven't been impressed.   I was really high on him out of the draft too.

If I have to keep one, it's Trufant.  Alford's penalties keep the defense on the field.

I think it was very compassionate of you to only mention the penalties they had in road games.

I was thinking the same maybe he can get his groove back Alford always been the same ****... So Trufant and Oliver outside Allen inside Kazee at Free Safety

[poutlipper 902]

Just looked it up, Alford had 12 penalties called on him this year, 6th most in the NFL, 1st among secondary players.  His penalties account for 11.88% of all of the team's penalties.  

[FalconBlood23 1,456]

I dont think people should give up on Oliver just yet. To me he seemed just fine for a rookie.

I’ll eat crow if he turns the corner next year. I just don’t n see it

I obviously like oliver a lot.

You like your crow blackened/marinated or BBQ?

[D.B.N. 3,420]

I never was a fan of Alford and Trufant hasn’t been the same since the injury. I say get rid of them both and draft Deandre Baker. 

Oliver x Baker x Poole as your top 3 corners. 

[FalconBlood23 1,456]

In the video I posted: 

The guy breaks down how gifted Oliver is, but at around 6:15 he states he is not great at off coverage, as most lanky/big corners are usually not, which to me is what we played all season it seems. I feel like if we played more man/press, he would have looked way better. 

Regarding our current CB's, I think Alford is gone and we draft/ sign a vet to the position. Trufant will probably stay a bit longer due to his cap hit, maybe even play as the 3rd corner? Yeah, lots of decisions of DQ to make for sure.

It's worth remembering that it'll cost 14m if Trufant leaves. Also Poole is a free agent who was on a low deal here. Likely that someone offers him a decent amount and we can't afford it.

[quotemokc 2,562]

From what I saw from him Oliver did alright.

A lot of the catches he gave up were the result of great throws + catches that were almost indefensible.

Our starting CBs together......had 0 picks (Alford & Trufant)

 

That seems kind of hard to do...(or not do.)

It's a lie. Trufant had a pick.

Sorry Vandy, but Jalen Collins didn't pass my eyeball test either. And now he's cut.

LMAO!!! Jalen Collins is out of the league for being a pothead idiot, not because he didn't have talent.

Jalen Collins elevated Falcons in PFF's secondary rankings

• The Atlanta Falcons enters the 2017 season with the NFL’s fifth ranked secondary according to the PFF secondary rankings. They made the leap from No. 26 prior to the 2016 season, the largest rise of any secondary.
• CB Jalen Collins‘ career year earned an overall PFF grade of 81.5 to lead the Falcons cornerbacks and rank 22^nd in the NFL. Collins’ grade more than doubled in quality from his rookie year (40.6 overall) and he was named the second-most improved second-year player by PFF.
• Collins took over for Desmond Trufant, the Falcons’ best returning cornerback, in week 10 due to a season ending shoulder injury and went on to lead Atlanta’s secondary in passer rating allowed when lined up at right cornerback with a mark of 74.1 (minimum 20 snaps).

Jalen is out of the league because he sucks. Dont care about no pff stats crap. The boy wasnt that good at lSU or here.

The boy had to take peds just to compete with others. He saw that when he lost his starting job as a senior to a freshman at lSU.

It's gonna be hard now since we're picking 14th, but IF Deandre Baker is available, you must grab him to replace Alford OR Trufant. Otherwise just go for the O-line or D-line. Based on what I've seen since 2016 I'd rather get rid of Trufant. Alford had a gaming winning pick 6 against the Redskins in 2015 and a key pick 6 in the Super Bowl against Brady which were more memorable to me than what Trufant has done. With Neal and Allen healthy it was Alford who stepped up his game last season and Trufant was still mediocre. Since Trufant was drafted in 2013, we've only made the playoffs ONCE with him healthy. What has Trufant really done significant for this team? I believe Deandre Baker and Isiah Oliver would be a mega upgraded duo than the lousy disappointing Trufant and Alford experiment that hasn't been as good. 

Baker seems to be dropping down boards all of a sudden. Kris Boyd should be out there and maybe even at our second. Mullen could be an option too. Believe it or not Walter Football, CBSSports and Draftsite have Greedy dropping to us.
