The Falcons are moving Vic Beasley to LB (he's the guy that made Remmers his bitch)

Vic Beasley is primed for his move to strongside linebacker for the Falcons after playing defensive end last season as a rookie.

The Falcons played Brooks Reed and O’Brien Schofield at the strongside linebacker position last season. Reed was injured for most of the season and Schofield, was solid, but not spectacular. He hasn’t been re-signed by the team.

“It’s off to a great start,” said Beasley, who was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft. “I just know that it’s a new position. I played a little bit of linebacker in college, but it’s different in the league. There are more responsibilities, but I’m off to a great start with it.”

Well in SEA I know Red Bryant a guy with the size of a DT often played DE in the base 4-3, I can't imagine ATL switching to 3-4, maybe some looks like we do from time to time, but from what I know about that team do they really have the personnel?

The Saints tried the same move and we see how bad they've been on defense the last few years...I'm just ready for football again.

Reading the article, it is clear he is a liability against the run, so they are trying anything to keep him on the field and will keep him at de in nickel packages. 

I smell covering up a top ten pick bust...

Best nugget from that article is that Beasley broke the falcons rookie sack record with 4 sacks

And I believe that led team. 4 sacks from a rookie led...the...team. Tampa is the only competition in this Division. We may drop one to TB and sweep everyone else this year.

Not really a bust but he is only a pass rusher.  I think if I drafted a guy in the top 10 he should not have major flaws. We basically have the same player in delaire but at half the price. Thanks DG.

Last year taught me never to take division games - especially away games - for granted.  Really, having just beat the Falcons 38-0, there was no reason on paper to think we'd lose to them.  But games aren't played on paper...  The psychological / emotional element is all too real too (as is the reality of injuries).

Our two games against NO were both so close last season even though New Orleans is a mess.  I'm predicting we could lose at New Orleans (it's the last game of a pretty tough 3 back-to-back-to-back division game stretch before our bye).  I also don't like our week 16 game schedule with a short week before playing Atlanta during Christmas week.  But at least that one's at home.

While we could sweep our division on paper, I think we could go 4-2 in the South.  Playing us is our division rivals' Super Bowl at the moment... that added motivation could give them a spark.

Agreed but at this point, the only thing we have is on paper. I wouldn't actually predict that we lose one to Tampa anyways. My yearly prediction is always the same:

 

16-0

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
