Could be worse, we could have drafted Taco Charlton, we aren't the only team kicking ourselves for not picking Watt.

Yup you’re right but the Steelers organization is what it is and the Falcons prove to be who they are.....bloodlines both ways

People can only hide who they are for so long. You will start to see red flags as times goes on that makes you question their commitment to the team. But they always do just enough to sort of get by. I believe this is Takk. He’s not fully committed to this team, but he will do just enough to make us think that he has bought in. I’m leaning towards the OP, sucks to says this, but we might want to move on from Takk before he becomes a cancer to the locker room

Shaq Lawson actually sent Takk a tweet saying he was in the same boat and that Takk should use this to motivate him to have a great season.

You couldn't get a 7th for him right now.

I'm definitely not holding my breath on him turning the corner, but there is no downside to keeping him.  At the least he is cheap depth and could potentially be productive in his walk year.  We really have no experienced edge player now outside of Fowler.

Maybe he see's stuff that we don't. Maybe the culture of the Atlanta Falcons current regime doesn't suit Takk because even he can see how easy it is for them to overpay guys like Beasly. Maybe Coach Quinn really is more of a Rah-Rah guy than an actual Mastermind of Defensive football?

That's about all we can do now is hope that he can stay on the field, and start to produce. It could happen, but as you said, I'm not holding my breath either.

Maybe we shouldn't be making excuses for him. He needs to put up or shut up.  He's a professional football player, and he is paid handsomely to produce...he hasn't.

Takk has god given abilities and ideal size for a pass rusher.  The problem with Takk is that if everything is not perfect for him, he shuts down.  His constant twitter rants and making fun of the team that pays him is pretty ridiculous.  I heard someone say, he can have a Shaq Barrett type of season.  Barrett has one thing that Takk doesn't have, is  heart and passion for the game. 

I would rather let Davidson or Cominsky or Larken get a shot before Takk, because at least those guys want to play the game.  Those guys wont get all emotional and hurt if the offense and defense doesn't play to his style. Takk needs to get traded and get traded fast.

 He could be really good; especially with the new help along the DL. He creates a lot of pressure when he's on. Just needs to get his head out of his a--

Nope. The problem with Takk has been his bum shoulder. If he ever gets that cleaned up, he would be fine.

I knew TAFT would eventually turn on Takk the night he was drafted.

I thought Takk might be taking over Clayborn's old role.   But the bad shoulder isn't good for taking on OG's.

Incidently....where -IS- Takk going to play?  I figure Fowler will be playing over the LT.

My guess is LEO.

Lots did AS SOON as he was drafted. It was inevitable. The only part I didn't foresee was this weird obsession with trying to "read the tea leaves" and vilifying his social media posts. Flat out lying and creating narratives out of thin air. It's maddening.

I was excited when we drafted him.  Loved the pick.  Its his lack of production after several years coupled with his 3rd grade antics and poor attitude that turned me off.

I watched 80% of this board turn on Beasley by his 4th yr and Takk hasn't done half of what Vic did by year 4. IMO Takk is a complete bust. I agree that he will be motivated this yr but i don't expect much more out of him than what he's already shown. To me his highest ceiling is 8 sacks. But I suspect we'll see him get around 4 or 5. Fine me later Takk.

I think it’s because Beasley had that one huge year and never came even close to it ... Takk is consistently around 5-8 sacks a year and has shown potential ... still underachieving tho
