The Falcons are moving Vic Beasley to LB (he's the guy that made Remmers his bitch)


Recommended Posts

Vic Beasley is primed for his move to strongside linebacker for the Falcons after playing defensive end last season as a rookie.

The Falcons played Brooks Reed and O’Brien Schofield at the strongside linebacker position last season. Reed was injured for most of the season and Schofield, was solid, but not spectacular. He hasn’t been re-signed by the team.

“It’s off to a great start,” said Beasley, who was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft. “I just know that it’s a new position. I played a little bit of linebacker in college, but it’s different in the league. There are more responsibilities, but I’m off to a great start with it.”

Well in SEA I know Red Bryant a guy with the size of a DT often played DE in the base 4-3, I can't imagine ATL switching to 3-4, maybe some looks like we do from time to time, but from what I know about that team do they really have the personnel?

The Saints tried the same move and we see how bad they've been on defense the last few years...I'm just ready for football again.

Reading the article, it is clear he is a liability against the run, so they are trying anything to keep him on the field and will keep him at de in nickel packages. 

I smell covering up a top ten pick bust...

Best nugget from that article is that Beasley broke the falcons rookie sack record with 4 sacks

And I believe that led team. 4 sacks from a rookie led...the...team. Tampa is the only competition in this Division. We may drop one to TB and sweep everyone else this year.

Not really a bust but he is only a pass rusher.  I think if I drafted a guy in the top 10 he should not have major flaws. We basically have the same player in delaire but at half the price. Thanks DG.

Last year taught me never to take division games - especially away games - for granted.  Really, having just beat the Falcons 38-0, there was no reason on paper to think we'd lose to them.  But games aren't played on paper...  The psychological / emotional element is all too real too (as is the reality of injuries).

Our two games against NO were both so close last season even though New Orleans is a mess.  I'm predicting we could lose at New Orleans (it's the last game of a pretty tough 3 back-to-back-to-back division game stretch before our bye).  I also don't like our week 16 game schedule with a short week before playing Atlanta during Christmas week.  But at least that one's at home.

While we could sweep our division on paper, I think we could go 4-2 in the South.  Playing us is our division rivals' Super Bowl at the moment... that added motivation could give them a spark.

Agreed but at this point, the only thing we have is on paper. I wouldn't actually predict that we lose one to Tampa anyways. My yearly prediction is always the same:

 

16-0

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
