ya_boi_j 67,675 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Lol at first I thought the title was a typo and it was only Allen Bailey Well, I pushed hard for Bailey. Don't feel he was best utilized in Atlanta but it is what it is. Best of luck to both Monolith2001, PokerSteve, freakyfalcon and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GATXBOI 2,008 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Oh yes making moves..this made my day...I apologize to everybody I came at out if order this morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stizz 5,672 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Allen was solid, but his limitations became clear as the years went on. Solid tackling, decent coverage. Just not the explosiveness you'd like from the position. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlantafan21 10,957 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It’s been time to improve at FS for a good while now, but Rico was a good guy and an okay player for a good portion of his career here. At the very least he’ll be missed in the locker room. Hopefully we can get a difference maker at that position this offseason.

Another case of a GM holding on to a diamond in the rough he found for way too long. Did Rico out perform where he was drafted? Yes. But that doesn’t make him a quality starter.

Lornoth 12,247 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Allen is a good backup getting paid starter money. I'm just glad we won't have to see him or Kazee back there this year. Dr Long Shot and PokerSteve 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ATLFalcon36 2,925 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I mentioned this in other threads but the real failures of TD's roster is all the 4-8m guys that underperform their contracts. These two guys fall square into that category. Now get rid of Carpenter. ATL Fan in the DMV, ATLskinjob, Ghosts of Glanville and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rico was a good guy and I say this respectfully, but I'm not sure he had the type of impact in the locker room you think. All types of riff raff was going on in there and it translated to the field with losses. We need REAL leaders in that locker room.

jidady 10,417 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Dear Ricardo Allen: you were one of the greatest 5th round picks in Falcons history. And you always made me proud as a fan with your tireless work ethic and dedication to improvement. Thank you for everything. Good luck with the rest of your NFL career!

I agree, but I would add that it isn't like his locker room presence translated to anything. If you're 4-12, the locker room isn't listening anyway.
