Spts1 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I think they will get more value if they move him permanently to linebacker. Thought on that? Edited January 7, 2019 by slickgadawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I feel like they tried this in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllStarHandyMan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I say if we used him more as a blitzing linebacker it could work out. Playing as a full time linebacker i dont know...covering rb not very good. TE he might can do ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD597 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yea that didn't work either. Someone needs to teach him a **** spin move, all the OL has to do is move him past the QB cause Vic never spins to the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons_Frenzy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 If the Falcons let him go then watch the Patriots or Steelers will sign him and he will develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his first two years he'd try spins all the time in an embarrassing way, then he learned to time it with Freeney. Since then, havent seen **** one attempt at a spin, swim or RIP, just terrible edge rush every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoneOne01 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It didn’t work out when they tried. In fact, I remember people on here saying the reason Beasley wasn’t more impactful in 2017 was because he was too busy playing linebacker. He’s just not that that good.

Kaptain Krazy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Move him to a 3-4 D, it's his best chance for success. i.e., somewhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No counter move, no spin move, no violent hands. Watching the edge rushers over the wild card weekend makes me think Beasley is a lost cause.

What drives me nuts is that's so predictable, if he just countered inside even 10% of the time, those moves would almost always be sacks bc linemen know they just have to guide him out of the play.

He belongs in a 3-4 and would do better in my opinion. I don't see a 3-4 happening here as long as Quinn's the HC/DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 He actually played decent last 4-5 games, let’s see if Q really is the DL whisperer...as long as we aren’t taking a $12M cap hit to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah, I'm sort of at the "he should be in a 3-4 and isn't really going to cut it in a 4-3" spot myself. He should be a prototypical LEO, but apparently they don't like him there for whatever reason, and he can't seem to rush from the other side, so......

TheUsualStuff Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 What a terrible idea. It's been tried and it failed. They still had him dropping back into coverage early this season after supposedly moving him back to DE full time, and he looked completely lost. He's a one trick pony DE, and he and any team that wants to utilize him has to treat him that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a 3-4 happening here as long as Quinn's the HC/DC. I concur. He is purely a edge rushing linebacker. I watched tape of him at Clemson. It was the line as a UNIT that made him good in college. You put him in a 3-4 and utilize overload blitzes and he would florish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneaut Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 1 hour ago, 81KJW said: we didn't try that he still plays like 98% defensive end for us. Yes we did. 2017 Vic took lots of snaps at SLB. "Falcons coach Dan Quinn told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution after his season-ending news conference Thursday that the third-year player will move from linebacker. “I have re-assessed it,” Quinn said. “He played six games at linebacker and two injured. I’m going to put him full-time, all-the-time back at pass rusher. I thought it was best for the team even though some of his production would go down. “His best role is doing what he does. He won’t go back to linebacker.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
