Samuels A Falcon

[HeatCheck]

The knock on Samuels is he isn't a good tackler. Which he isn't. So, if our running game gets going against the Falcunts. We'll be good to go.

I also think that he doesn't have the will or want-to to tackle.

[PhillyB]

good pickup for them.

This is now a pass happy league. He can ballhawk with the best of them.

Weatherspoon was a top 10 linebacker last year, and Totupu is decent for his age.

Totupu was out of the league last year.

What do you EXPECT them to focus on in the draft, if they don't have to worry about the secondary?

As we learned just this year, expecting 2nd and 3rd round DL to come in and contribute quickly is like whizzin' in the wind.

Didn't they score 2 points in the playoffs? Not sure if this is going to help them score any more points. Also, wasn't last year his INT totals lower than normal?

He had 3 - but he was unhappy and the Eagles secondary was run like a Chinese fire drill with people out of place all year.

Totupu was out of the league last year.

That's because he was being a greedy SOB. I'm not saying they are better than our linebacker's or can even hold a candle to our linebackers for that matter but I think they are probably average. Maybe 15, in the top 15.

Totupu sucks

[panthersphan]

Big deal. The Falcan'ts get a player who neither New England nor Philly wanted... 3 years @ 19 mill? No thanks...

[Proudiddy]

They made our otherwise stellar offense look like garbage with a sh*t secondary last year, so I'm really hating this move. I have no idea why we wouldn't have made this trade if he restructured.

All I know is, we better get a similar talent in the draft at CB or we'll be regretting this for the next 2 to 3 years or so.

[bigdog10]

Its clear that they are ALL IN... Still the South has always had good teams and most of the had good Dlines. I will take cover CBs over a dominate Dline any day.

I'm the exact opposite. Give me a d-line that flusters a QB and even the most mediocre CB's become solid.

Corners can only cover for so long.

[Gallagher]

I don't like this move but, am glad that it puts the Falcons in cap trouble and gives them even less draft picks. I think this leaves them with a top 16 pass D next year and maybe a bottom 10 run D. Here's hoping we game plan accordingly.

just add him to the long list of guys with dreads Smitty will burn
