FalconsIn2012 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I still would love the Falcons to kick the tires on him. We need some veteran presence and we supposedly targeted him Pre draft. He would likely win a starting job. Let them all compete and may the best man win. But IMO he would be the best corner on the team Day 1. Interesting stat on him last year: he allowed just 4 catches of 10 + yards. He had the NFL’s 15th best coverage grade in 2019.

atljbo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They love Kendall in the slot so I can't see us doing this even tho I agree on having a vet.... I can't see us paying 4 mil a year for a non starter at cb now. I'm hoping for a tramon Williams for the vet min signing later summer.

But Dennard is a true man/press corner who can play boundary or slot. Has great versatility.

wuskillzz Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think we need some kind of veteran presence in the cornerback group Sponge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primetime Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Picking AJ in the first almost guarantees this is a no. We need vet presence but it will be at Olb where we are still without a viable Campbell replacement. Francis York Morgan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Listen, if you get the right safety then we’re good to go. Hands down I’d say we would just need a LB. I’m cool with Darron Lee if he can stay healthy I don’t care. Vandy, hjerry and OrthoPTSD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32wood84white Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I don’t want to bring anyone in. I think we’ve got a ton of young talent at CB, let them grow and maybe just maybe they will grow into a lockdown group like we’ve always hoped to have. Vets unfortunately get in the way of that growth sometimes. And this offense has absolutely no reason not to give this defense a lead to play with. That also makes it easier to stick with the young’s guys. OrthoPTSD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrfalcon Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The big factor to take into account is that the Falcons are likely to play with 3 safeties and 2 cornerbacks more than 3 cornerbacks and 2 safeties - Neal, Kazee and Allen cannot be left on the bench too much.

We need a quality veteran back there. I don’t think money to position is a good indicator of need. You’ve invested two high round draft picks in Oliver and AJ and Sheffield has gained the trust of the coaches, evident by the amount of snaps and the way he was used late last season. Add on top they like Blidi, there’s your vet on a one year deal. Just can’t see them adding at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so so on Allen but why do people continue to sleep on Kazee. Over their final 8 games he registered all 3 of his picks. When he’s on the field, he’s a ball hawk.any coincidence that when he moved to safety as a starter beside Rico the Falcons went 6-3 and played the pass a whole heck of a lot better? He was a big part of that turn around on the defense. Dukeduke211 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in a season where there was truly two complete opposite halves of a season. I am going to go back and watch on game pass, still free right now if anyone is interested, all of his games played at safety. That’s his best position, that’s where he was during our 6-2 stretch. I want a true scope on his play the second half at safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
