mashburn*Fibonacci Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 He might be the highest flagged person. But the boy is very good. I much rather him take a pay cut vs cut by the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithful Falcon Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think Deion Sanders has ruined expectations for fans regarding Corners. Somehow we all forgot that it's a team game, and solid is just as good a elite on an elite team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyWordII Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is the last relevant INT (his 1 in 2017-2018 was a garbage time effort when we whomped the Panthers) he’s had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I'd rather have Rocky and his penalties than Tru anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonDeion Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I agree. At full strength D, Rocky will return to form. Would be stupid to cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The highwater mark of the Atlanta Falcons. Had they won the game he could retire a falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry, but he regressed to his pre-SB form. Can't cover without grabbing the defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantafan21 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yeah it’s easy to forget when he was one of the worst CBs last season. I’m fine with keeping him just because cutting him would cause a hole at the CB position. However, we’d be banking on him returning to 2016-17 form rather than the garbage he was last year.

1989Fan Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Has he had a pick since that SB? I know he has been burned and flagged a lot since then. Cant give Alford love and wanna throw Beasley and Schreader out people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanat0s Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I’m not trying to run him out of town. It’s not like we are loaded with other viable options. If he comes back, it’s fine with me. I’m much more interested in our not paying that useless DE 12 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 No denying Alford has been a great player for us. But he sucked last year. I have no idea which Alford will show up next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Proxy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Given his age and his most recent season; at a skill position, he is at risk of being cut due to his contract compared with our cap situation. He could be a restructure candidate or kept on for a chance to rebound; giving Oliver another year to battle it out. If coaches believe in Oliver enough and don’t see the point in keeping Rocky on the cap for $8M he is possibly gone. We are in a critical year with more choices possible but more risks/rewards with those choices. Compare that to last FA period when we had to let Poe walk and Fusco was our biggest FA signing. We were perceived as a team without many holes last offseason after FA and entering the draft; save for 1T. Turns out we got concerns all up in our front 7 and OL. Oh, and was there mention decisions on depth grooming at TE/RB/yes outside CB/possibly FB? Alford is a guy to give a shot to rebound but it won’t matter if we can’t fix the front 7. Re-structuring Alford for a modest savings towards the cap has to be a consideration at minimum; as one of the older vets to try to restructure given their play falling off and having viable replacements on hand. Depth is always a concern but that’s mostly an injury worry and even if it was Alford going down and Oliver stepping up you are right back in the same situation. Develop outside CB talent, but front 7 and OL are the glaring holes. Reed may be another cut. Schraeder as well, but his contract isn’t as easy to get out of compared to Alford or Reed; while Rocky stands to free up the most gains in cap space. He has one more year or 2 at max as it is realistically. First, he has to be kept and then not lose his starting job. So, you paying a backup $8M? Think. Its a financial and sober decision on whether to keep him or not. Edited January 31, 2019 by Ergo Proxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
