Those decisions were made by Gettleman. The decision of who starts on Sunday comes down to the head coach, who even in spite of his strengths, will still consistently field bad players over better players because they get rowdy in training camp or perform other stupid cliches. 

Gettleman also took in consideration the opinion of the coaches, Rivera will start the best palyers if it wasn't for the injury Williams would have been the starter.

I'm just curious, who all have they signed: Mack, Sanu, Shelby, Upshaw, and Weatherspoon? Not bad signings but not great either.

In the division the Falcons scare me the most. Sorry and I am sure I will catch some flack but those signings make them a lot better team.

mack is the best signing in that group i think

i was trashing their OL earlier this month and actually went and did some research after bartin i believe it was disagreed with some of the stuff i had said.  they actually have two legitimately good tackles in ryan schraeder and jake matthews.  add alex mack into that and that's 3 out of 5 OL positions locked up.  that's probably going to be the most improved unit on that team.

The question we have to ask ourselves now is does Ron have it in him to have an actual open competition at RT this TC or does his open affection for mike remmers even in spite of the fact that he's a a bad player net the guy the job and the opportunity to cost the team more games

Remmers is not the first right tackle to be abused by Von Miller. He is an average RT, and that's it. He's not bad, he's not great.

I think CU signing by itself is about as impactful as Ron Edwards was for the panthers in 2013 besides the fact CU is 26. However, when you look at what is around CU, plus the other FA the Falcons have signed the picture changes. The title was edited because it was made known that free agent updates have there own thread. 

To make things right I will self impose the loss of 3 scholarships and give back 5 pies :). Sorry man.

Although I do not think Upshaw is a dynamic game changer/disturber....he is def a good signing for the Falcons.  They def got better with this move.

Nor will he be the last.

That's the first good pickup they've made. Remmers needs to step the fug up.

Remmers needs to be replaced. I think causing two fumbles in the most important game of the year should be a sign of it's time to move him to backup.

It is my fervent wish that Williams make Remmer depth where he belongs. I know that Remmers did well the last year and a half. And I truly appreciate the effort he gave. But if Williams can win RT, Remmers has more value as depth. So come on Williams.

 

So to sum up. Don't let Boykin get away. Bring in Boldin. Then 1 more DT, and hubby be happy. Roster looks good, with the draft wide open. Go BPA with no cares.

 

Or...wait til after the draft. Then fill in what holes you have left with FAs.

 

All I know for sure. Is with a Healthy KB coming back. And a usually solid Gman draft. We should be better than last year. I can defiantly live with that.

That s a question casual fans and uninformed folks might ask. . But knowledgeable folks know that Rivera will play the best guy he is given. No one get coach of the year two of the last 3 years and not know how to evaluate players or place them in the best position to shine.
