Falcons sign DT Tyson Jackson and DT Paul Soliai

[El Chingon 644]

They spent some cash on those two. I think there is $24 million+ guaranteed to those two guys.

Damn

[PhillyB 40,105]

great moves on their part. that interior D-line was awful

[TheRed 17,612]

What, a team improving areas of weakness? Unheard of!

[Clicheking 1,556]

::yawn::

A underachieving d.e and a immobile run stuffing d.t. Not really concerned, the may have improved their run defense, but there pass rush still leaves a lot to be desired.

Good news is Atlanta is spending a lot of money on those DTs and the guard.  One will probably get hurt, one will be a bust, and the other might contribute.  

[Jackofalltrades 9,276]

They're getting stout upfront, they already have a ton of talent at the skill positions.

So far their only loss from last year is Gonzo. They've added 3 very solid FA's where they needed them most.

Is this the thread where I make up reasons why signing good players is actually bad

Apparently.

[R0CKnR0LLA 7,675]

they gave out $58 million to two middle of the road players and still have no pass rush to speak of

 

good example of why you never sign players on day 1 of free agency

[Ruff 3,836]

When you realize that the falcons are going to run a 34, and their pass rush will be found by drafting Kalil Mack, then you'll realize these signings were amazing.
