gazoo Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 At beginning of season Pees was very high on Ade and coaches mentioned him during camp at times as players to watch for this season, but he just didn’t ever jump out at me this season. No forced fumbles, only 2 sacks, 3 TFL, 1 QB Hit, he’s just not making a lot of plays. He did have 42 tackles and is ok against the run, but we need way more out of that position from a starter. Ebiketie did start playing more as season went on. Anyone key in on his play throughout the year more than me? The stats above correlate to what I saw on the field. vitaman, Captain Falcon, Diesel_Bird and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerhill Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) When he was drafted I thought he seemed like a decent prospect for where he was picked but after two seasons I'm just not seeing it.

PriMeTiiMe Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He sucks. Nothing more than a reserve that is on the roster bubble. Type of guy that should be inactive every weekend. Knight of God, PokerSteve, Killing Floor and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He's essentially Steven Means 2.0 at this point. Bubble/practice squad caliber guy until he proves otherwise. TheRisen999, papachaz, ATL Fan in the DMV and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall his name ever being mentioned during game broadcasts except “…made the tackle” Need some number of big plays from that position. 3 TFL and 2 sacks do not cut it. raysnill1, FalconJim and PokerSteve 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has (theoretically) one more year to show he is capable of being an impact player, even if that is as a back-up. But, with so little to show for his first two years, I don't believe he's guaranteed a roster spot next season if we get anybody in that appears to have more potential, even if it's a UDFA.

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Dude is depth at best. However, don't sleep on the development of OL/DL... some guys take a while to put it together. ****, even Deadrin Senat was getting meaningful snaps from TB.

He could make a jump. As we know linemen have a huge learning curve from college to the pros. He has the physical tools. Here's to hoping increased competition next year ignites dormant potential. There are surprises every year, maybe he is next years surprise. rounz, gazoo, FalconJim and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killing Floor Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 What do I think of Ade Ogundeji? He’s a Falcons linebacker. If I’m being honest, he’s as good or as bad as anyone in our LB room. We really haven’t had a grown man LB on the in, out, blind, nickel, or edge in 6-7 years. It’s just a fact. Not one of our roster linebacker players would play a down on any XFL or USFL team. Ade is fine, he’s an average Falcons linebacker. PokerSteve, gazoo, Spongebob and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerz Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He’s slow twitch and constantly looks lost out on the field. He sets a poor edge and we’d have been better off keeping Cominsky (4scks, 5 Tfls, 12 QB hits). PokerSteve, ShadyRef and FalconJim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Malone should have gotten his snaps. I really think there was something wrong with the defensive coaching on this team. It makes no sense how unprepared and held back they look at times. Just watching everyone try and blitz up the middle the last two years was so frustrating. Are they being coached to run into the blockers or their own teammates? I watch other teams and their guys shoot right through the gaps. Falcon blitzers wait a second or two and then run right into Grady Jarrett's triple team.

A-TowN.- Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Everytime I’ve solely watched him, he’s been less than impressive. Doesn’t anchor or set the edge well, and he doesn’t have many pass rush moves. Francis York Morgan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel_Bird Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I’ve watched him a lot. Simply because I’m in awe every time he’s on the field. If he does anything ok, I guess it would be setting an edge?? Idk. But I’ve watched him fall flat on his face pass rushing, to simply have the tackle stand there and look at him. Don’t even see a reason he’s still here other than we needed bodies, I don’t know. Oh and the last sack of the season he had, the qb literally ran into him Edited January 24 by Diesel_Bird Emmitt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Biskie Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He’s a strong side end. Shadows the te. They do alot of important things that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. Outside contain. Take on blockers. Usually a big **** strong dude who won’t allow teams to run sweeps and te’s to release freely on pass routes or ride them or tackles so they can’t block linebackers. Means was that guy and the guy we got from Kansas City a couple years back. If you look at Tennessee they had a couple of similar guys. You bring in another guy like Ak47 Malone on passing downs. mtldirtybird, Herr Doktor, RetroRoq and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
