Someone pull out the highlights of the absolute beating Matty Ryan took at the hands of CJ and Hardy.

you know i tried to find that and i wasn't able to find a video. a panthers pass rush vs. falcons highlight video would be awesome.

anyway, i'll be the first to admit that osi bookending abraham would have been a respectable if aging combination. osi is going to have kroy biermann opposite him now so he's going to have to beat a double team on every snap. alternately if you watch the video of the sack you can see justin tuck clearly drawing the double team which frees up osi to slip past gross.

the problem here is that the falcons aren't able to make a play for a blue chip pass rusher who could start at a high level immediately. so now, faced with the fact that they have zero depth at DE, they had to bring in a guy who would do the most damage as a situational pass rusher at this stage in his career and force him to be a three down DE. they might seriously have the fewest sacks in the league next season.

Osi had an amazing 6 sacks last year...

it seems like he put up weak numbers but he was mostly a rotational guy last season and split time with tuck and pierre-paul. he would have been a really great signing if the falcons had a strong rotation established but the issue is that they're going to be asking a lot more of him than that.

I was reading the Giants blogs after the Chase signing, and many posters said they were sadder to see Chase leave than Osi. One guy said, "Atlanta just threw in the towel on run defense...", referring to Osi's one dimensional play.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
