Posted September 16, 2019 Ricardo Allen was a beast last night. I loved the hit in the end zone that broke up the pass. He knew it was a possibility and he backed it up saying he'd be there. He was also a coach all over the field last night. Making pre snap reads and communicating to the linebackers. He was a field general. But best of all I actually saw him take a few more risks and play VERY physical. I've been one of his biggest critics in the last few years. But I'll give him his credit for last nights game. He balled out. vel, WisFalcon, PokerSteve and 37 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2019 Love Rico, he's integral for our defense to play this well. PokerSteve likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2019 Tru was the one that stood out to me. Allen was great but I saw Tru do things I had never seen him do before. Played with a ton of energy and seemed to be directing the guys around a good bit. This could end up being a **** good defense dawgsfan426, TheFatboi, PokerSteve and 7 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing good last night does not take away the terrible games does it? Why would one east crow? I saw a bunch of Pro-Beasley post too. It's like we need to eat crow anytime he does his actual job. Silly. So making a positive comment about a player doing a good job is a bad thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2019 I think Collinsworth has a man crush on Rico after the adjustment he made. He was gushing over him. Schwarzwald, dawgsfan426, Vandy and 3 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2019 Rico balled out. That deep pass to Agholor on 4th down notwithstanding, he was balling. That hit was epic. Exactly the kind of play we've been wanting from him. Read it perfectly and made the WR pay for even thinking he had a shot at a TD. I loved it! dawgsfan426, Francis York Morgan, Drew4719 and 8 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That wasnt Ricos assignment...he was the only one that actually was there to even stop him. That was Neal's assignment, and he played the play short, and Nelson got behind him.

He baited Wentz into thinking it was gonna be there and lit him up for it. Schwarzwald, Vandy and TheFatboi like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2019 I won't eat crow, but I will finish my "Eagle" chicken wings from last night. I knew that this defense if stays healthy will show up.

Posted September 16, 2019 That was a masterpiece game from Rico. I think it was his best game as a falcon. If he keeps playing 75% as good, he belongs in the pro bowl. He’s a coach on the field and also a heckuva player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2019 9 minutes ago, CoachCatchPhrase said: Look how many posts that call out the "haters" because Beasley had a sack...it is almost silly. Funny thing is, he had other plays that he actually rushed with some life and determination and they are not called out. However, the play he had the actual sack he was blow so far out of the play, he was in the play...if that makes any sense. Doing your job and dominating are 2 very different things. I should assume we should get threads if Bryant hits a 35 yard FG?? No, because he is doing his JOB. Ok man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
