Posted August 13 Fans don't appreciate Rico because he's not a special talent like ET but the man is a baller and I'd be willing to bet opposing QBs are aware of Rico. Emmitt, Falcon fan 4 ever, wnyfalconfan and 14 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amongst the best value players since 2015. Dude has made peanuts yet been top-12 at his position each year. dawgsfan426, hotlanta, NeonDeion and 4 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he has definitely been worth his draft stock. I just think our fan base overrates him. He’s a very ok player. But our fans treat him like he’s a star player. Just my 2 cents Flying Falcon likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13 MAN! I'm so ready for Rico to be back man. My man said "I ain't no sucka"... Between him and Neal, I'm telling yall. This defense is going to be fired up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a very good player in the grand scheme of things. He's not a star, but people try to downplay his meaning to this team. They see Kazee's interceptions and say "That's what we need" while ignoring the plays Kazee missed that Rico wouldn't. Again, Earl Thomas' value wasn't his turnovers, but his ability to prevent things from happening. Put Rico in any other defense and he's probably a backup at best. But this is the best scheme for his ability and he's maximized it. IamFRESCO1, NeonDeion, Emmitt and 5 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this is the best scheme for his ability and he's maximized it. I can agree with this. And I like having him. And I DO recognize that Kazee has liabilities that Rico covers. I just prefer playmakers/gamblers. Kazee takes risks. It’s what I liked about Samuel. But if both are on the field, I’m good with it.

Say that instead of saying he’s the glue of the defense. He’s not even half the value of Debo, Grady, or Neal Flying Falcon and vel like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I thought of changing the title, but someone put alot of thought (I would guess.) in putting a title to the vid. So I felt unworthy to change it.

Posted August 13 ****. Pretty moving for a short video. Pretty cool seeing how his wife has his back like that. I can imagine how tough that was for both of them to go thru. Rico does look faster in the videos I’ve seen. Let’s hope he takes a jump and proves the doubters wrong Tim Mazetti likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not even half the value of Debo, Grady, or Neal He's not a star but he's more important to overall success than Grady or neal because he has this defense set and ready to play. He also wipes away scoring plays and saves our butts very often, I can't count how many times he's made a td saving play while guys like Trufant make business decisions or miss completely. falconticket and JD dirtybird21 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13 14 minutes ago, JD dirtybird21 said: That was better. Say that instead of saying he’s the glue of the defense. He’s not even half the value of Debo, Grady, or Neal I mean..he is the qb of the defense and everybody knows it. Not the most talented but he is by far the most prepared dude on the field at all times. Great communicator as well. To me Rico is the brains, Neal is the enforcer, and Debo is....Debo. I think having a hard worker runs off on the team for sure. Saban credits Julio for changing the culture at Alabama because he was a star and he worked his butt off and never complained. Saban said it rubbed off and that culture has been there ever since. Jerz #Quinning, JD dirtybird21, Osiruz and 2 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
