Falcons are Trying to find "Toughness" We Have A Collection Of Beasts.


Recommended Posts

I couldn't help but smile when they showed the clip of Ryan taking that shot and no Falcons had his back.  Then I thought about how when Smith was hit in the endzone by Harper, the entire team ran all the way to the endzone to back up Smitty.  You can't teach toughness.  You either have it or you don't.

Falcons always have been a soft team IMO

 

i agree and yet somehow they have always managed to put a team full of thugs on the field every year. maybe not so much lately but still. 

 

Saints are the same fuggin way. you cant tell me they simply gave up their bounty gate ways. UGH. any coach evil enough to pay his players for injury-causing collisions will always be that way. at very least he will always verbally encourage the collisions.

I dont know how anyone can justify letting any coach back into the league who has been proven to do that. . but I also cant believe an owner said "Yep! Best man for the job, hire him"

Ryan must be a giant douche in the locker room. we've seen multiple examples of his line ignoring him after he gets laid out. they aren't a team. they're a group of guys who have the same colored spandex pants on.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
