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


Recommended Posts

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

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
