wuskillzz Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I don't know if this has already been discussed, but Olukun had the third highest tackle rate in the NFL last year behind only Vander Esch and Leonard per NFL Network. I am pretty excited about how good this defense could be if they can stay healthy.

And I recall when we drafted Gage and Foye posters bemoaning the notion TD was yet again wasting late round picks on what could only ever be special teams players. I pushed back on that, asking how they are concluding such nonsense. To be sure, I had no idea Foye would play like this, and Gage is even showing he might be able to play snaps at receiver. I’m surprised they are both looking so good. rugger8, ahawkins, Draftnut57 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing he hasn’t done is win it all he’s pretty much done everything else as a GM. I’d be worried about these fans that doubt the guys ability to do this job considering he’s been light years ahead of anyone else we’ve had.

red falcon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If he starts (i dont see why he wouldn't) this defense is going to be so fast. We will have some really smart players on the field as well. Foye showed he was worth picking up last year. shock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the measurables to be a really good WR. The 2018 draft will wind-up producing more Starters, than the 2016 Draft (did not say it was better yet, but will produce higher number of starting players). gazoo, VTCrunkler, shock and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what we already saw of rookie Foye, which to me is astounding given him playing at Yale, and what we are hearing about Russell Gage out of OTAs, the 2018 draft is starting to shape up as a phenomenal haul for talent. No question Ridley is the real deal, Senat has already proven to be at very least a rotational DL, Ito Smith I freaking LOVE, so it Oliver can prove himself a starter wow what a draft shock, Cheap Talk, Tim Mazetti and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure has and has adapted well to change not many will dare mention that.In a league where the environment is always changing our GM has done a pretty decent job adapting and keeping this team competitive.There are far more ups than downs.But for a bit of better decision making on the field I’d be escorting a few of these doubters to the state line before TD lol. gazoo, red falcon and VTCrunkler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick I think he was pretty decent before Pioli was here and that’s not saying he won’t be a loss.As long as DQ is clear and the message doesn’t change to what sought of players he wants I think he’ll be ok. Just think of Piolis farewell gift is loading up this Oline for the next decade fingers crossed.I mean we lost Caldwell and Snead in a short time and managed to stay a float.We still have plenty of experience in that scouting room even though Pioli has left. shock and red falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This too me is the key for the Falcons so called lack or size of a SB window.Stack the roster with developed talent,pay the cornerstones of it,make some tough decisions.Yes good players will be let go and keep moving foward.
