falconidae Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Would like him to replace Simms completely, in our hearts, as well as on the field. Actually, just be nice to see competent QB play from the the 3rd stringer. So, anybody heard anything about whether or not he's playing?

Ovie_Lover Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 They probably won't outright say he will play but I'd expect him to since he's been here a little over a week. Atleast a little and then more next week to see what he has. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statick Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 It seems to me that Simms was only brought in as a desperate camp body measure. That and he's familiar with the offense. I fully expect him to get cut and Etling stashed on the PS. vel and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't one of the players ruled out for this week though. Drew4719, HASHBROWN3, Ergo Proxy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I hope he does get some snaps. Would be great if he got some with the first string OL, but I don't know how long they'll play and he may not get in the game before the 3rd quarter.

I'm fine with him coming in in the 3rd quarter and playing decent football. Be really nice to not have the lead the first string built up slowly disappear because the last QB brought in was horrible.

Would like to see him be able to do some work and not be running for his life every snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HASHBROWN3 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 That NE tape I posted up showing this dude making plays gives me some inspiration I think. Looked like he wasn’t a chickenchit statue but rather to think & move on his feet when nothing is there. Made me sick to see Benkert go down as he had quick feet & some zip with accuracy.

I don't understand how Simms keeps getting signed. Dude it just awful. **** the tv camera has caught him cussing and blaming teammates for **** that was his fault, I can't imagine how he is behind the scenes.

Falconcheff Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 From the AJC... With Matt Simms injured, Etling will be third available quarterback Thursday when Atlanta faces Washington. “Just one day at a time,” Etling said when asked if he could be ready to play against the Redskins. “Keep progressing and working really hard.” falconidae, Falcon fan 4 ever and Ovie_Lover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddlin John's Ghost Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Anything is better than Matt freakin Simms. I'd rather watch the "Sound of Music" than watch Matt play, as he got zero of his daddy's very limited qb skills some people over rate because 2 rings, exactly as they do Eli, who also got two rings because defense and running game and has a famous qb daddy. Well, to his credit, Matt looks like an NFL qb in every facet except when it's time to throw passes to the right reads on time and on point. At this point, it's obvious he ain't ever going to do so. How he still is playing anywhere professionally is beyond me. Watching Etling's highlights, he made some good plays, including that deep post throw which had some zip. But on that long run he scored on.....the entire left side of the giants defense crashed and lost contain in a pathetic display of team defense fundamentals, and this, not speed or superior talent on Etlings part, was the reason he scored. Good on Etling for scoring on that naked bootleg, but just want folks to keep perspective and not over rate his speed based on that play.

He for sure ain't scared of the league, something required to play qb well. I'm looking forward to watching him tonight.
