Cole World Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I say let him test free agency and if nobody signs him and he really wants to play, resign him for vet minimum with a incentive to make 2.5M if he plays every game. Our best guard when healthy. Still draft a player or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustFalcon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would want him back. Of course, I'd like an upgrade, but there just aren't many good options to replace him. Even if we draft one in the 1st round, we need another and the FA market is thin, meaning people will overpay for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold4425 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 How close is he to getting 100%? You are right let him test free agency and if healthy sign hin for the low with incentives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguebeaver Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hurt last two years...take the money towards cap space and invest in something more, let’s say, durable, perhaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droopy1592 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He was great when he didn’t have a torn tricep. I’d pick him back up for less for back up or starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would love to have the doctors report to see if this injury is apt to resurface. It’s been a killer losing him for the better part of two seasons now and we absolutely cannot have it happen again next year. Hes been very good until injuries and manned OG the season we made NFL history as 7th highest scoring offense in history.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigerfan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I could handle it as a late signing in the Summer. I just dont think we should make plans for Levitre being a contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I’ll say it again it’s the combination of him and Mack on that left side they were deadly as a duo.Both reach block and get to the 2nd level really well. Surely injuries can’t hit us as hard as they did last season surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiruz Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Bring him back as insurance and draft his replacement. Pay him less if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashbrown3 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 He’s the Devonta Freeman of Guards. Both are pretty good when healthy. It would be nice to know the med evaluation like Gazoo mentioned. But also keep him as insurance & draft his replacement while trying to save money as Dutty mentioned. It’s past time to invest in some tough, new, young blood along that line. It’s no longer an area of possibility, it’s a genuine priority.

Peyton Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If his focus is on getting healthy, then that means he's not healthy. The Falcons aren't going to be resigning him anytime soon I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashbrown3 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would like nothing more than to get at least 4 new studs along the lines in the first 4 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What got Smitty fired was preferring run stoppers over pass rushers in FA and moving Babs to DE and Kroy to the only pass rushing threat and having no clue what kind of defense they were trying to run. I bet if Smitty had a clear vision of what he wanted and was on the same page as Nolan, he'd still be here. But he didn't and got fired for it.

THEHEADCOACH Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Andy fits here and if he gets back to 100% , i wouldn't be surprised to see us hang on to him. He might be willing to sign a small deal , just to stay here, and prove he's back. I don't think we will go into the season depending on him to be though. We probably still draft his replacement or maybe that guy is already here. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they didn't look like they had a plan However, the injuries and lack of depth didn't really give them a chance to execute a plan, if they did have one. You can't deny that injuries had a major impact on his quick departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your HC and DC aren't on the same page after just spending millions in FA getting the players you need to correct the prior years issues was a massive red flag. Injuries just made it worse.

And he never had the juice on an offense-first built team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man he hasn't. Which is why I didn't want him to go to Tampa. Glad he didn't have anything pop back up, but you saw it again happen down there, adding guys like Beau Allen then drafting Vita Vea over Derwin James. No he wasn't the HC, but I'm sure Koetter deferred to Smitty just like DQ deferred to Kyle/Sark for their side of the ball. You saw his adamance of playing 1980s football pop up again and it got him fired again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSlobberKnockers Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 A cheap one year deal and bring him along slowly. Have him in shape to start midseason. We rushed him last year and he re-injured. No brainer for a cheap deal. We need a plan A at LG though. Levitre coming back healthy would be HUGE for us.
