Posted January 17 He’s looking good. You can tell he has still been lifting and staying in the best shape he could. From the looks of it, he should be 100% for the season opener this year. Glad he’s a Falcon! papachaz, blkbigdog35, Knight of God and 13 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 17 I heard they added Velcro to the knee to help with future interceptions. Monolith2001, arrogantBEAST, FalconofShadows and 25 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 17 (edited) I think we missed a lot from him being off the field last season that can't be measure in tackles. It's grit, and swagger, and purpose. Edited January 17 by Geneaut Stryka, papachaz, Ergo Proxy and 6 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 17 Dude is still growing as a player. Getting stickier in coverage. Still knocking guys out. Still setting the tone. Cant wait to have him back. Run D improves which means more pass rush opportunities. Ergo Proxy, NeonDeion, gazoo and 2 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 17 Missed his leadership on the field, just don't do any crazy lateral movements and strengthen that knee my man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 17 Beyond Deion, losing Neal was the biggest loss. Richards and Neasman were massive drop offs. NeonDeion, Stryka, Geneaut and 3 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 17 (edited) The Falcons are in a very good place with their run defense, if Pro Football Focus’ Atlanta-centric Twiter count has any say in it. We’re not really used to writing about quality Atlanta run defenses. Falcons top 5 run defense grades (since '06): Keanu Neal - 89.3 2017 Lawyer Milloy - 88.1 2006 Dunta Robinson - 88.1 2010 Grady Jarrett - 87.7 2017 Sean Weatherspoon - 87.4 2011 Edited January 17 by Falconsin2012 hashmark61 and rings639 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The injury gods took our hands, brains, and heart on defense this year.
