Falcons D better with Courtney Upshaw

idk, he was an OLB in the Ravens' 3-4, but wasn't really much of a pass rusher. apparently a good run stopper. ATL wants to make him the strong-side LB in their scheme. falcons fans are excited because "they're getting tougher" on defense.

he isn't especially fast and he doesn't pass rush, so Remmers should be fine. we'll see how it affects the run game. if Daryl Williams takes over RT i don't think it'll matter. he could take out a blocking TE or FB probably because he seems pretty powerful. He won't be able to cover Olsen.

i think in general he is a decent pick up to help them build against the run.

The question we have to ask ourselves now is does Ron have it in him to have an actual open competition at RT this TC or does his open affection for mike remmers even in spite of the fact that he's a a bad player net the guy the job and the opportunity to cost the team more games

Their d-line rotation is slowly developing into something special, they can for sure stop the run with it, and they look to be able to get interior pass rush. It's all a matter if Beasley consistently gets the outside pressure. Their LBs still suck though.

good signing. adds toughness and girth. 

 

dont be blind panthers fans. our rivals can make good signings too

Now they have someone to handle run-stopping duties for Vic Beasley. That's all this is

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.  
    • With apologies to Lady Cowboy fan, any day we can screw over the Cowboys is a GOOD day…
    • Been here since 2014ish. Good times. Its a shame Zod wont sell, it wouldnt take that much effort to get this place back into shape.
