Benwikere was having trouble in the slot, you think Young would have done better? We signed Finnegan to play the slot

Benwikere did fine as the nickel in the slot. Our problems started when Tillman went down and we moved him to every down corner. Finnergan was signed to beef up the nickle because Colin Jones was exposed.

The fact that we signed Finnegan off the couch above promoting Young doesn't speak too highly of him.

Maybe the coaches were placing more value on veteran experience when they were looking to replace Tillman.  Now they want youth and athleticism

The Falcons this year are a prime example of why you don't spend a lot of cap space or draft picks on one player who is not a qb.  Jones is good no doubt about it.  But without all the other pieces and parts, his talent is irrelevant. 

They built the team backwards, I believe you buold from the inside out, they had a lot of nice skill players but terrible lines and you see the result.

It does but Norman relies on his reach, instincts, IQ, physicality and ballhawking skills. Most of those intangibles will still be there at 33.

Peanut Tillman is only 31. Let that sink in a bit. Norman might get paid after next year but it want be us. He either signs a reasonable contract or he's gone.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
