ight i ain't been on in a few days, i know there are alot of DT threads so don't get too mad at me but think about this for a minute..if we pick up shaun smith in a few weeks, next year we'll be stacked at DT...cuz with getting kemo and leonard back healthy then we'd have shaun smith,kemo,leonard,lewis and hayden going into TC

Eh we would have two starters in kemo and lewis and, I would just call the rest okay rotational players. Not really stacked like the Giants or anything.

Yea i had the same thought. Even without Shaun Smith we would still have some good talent. Hollis probably won't be here next year, and it totally depends on Kemo's rehab if he returns as well. But Leonard looked really promising, Irvin made some decent pressure in preseason and another year on Harris's belt and he'll be making good contributions.

And I think Lewis could be gone after this year as well. Though I would rather keep him than Hayden.

But we do need a DT to step up and put Lewis in the back up role again, he is more effective that way. Irvin and Harris have the raw talent to be starters, can't say the same for Hayden. Leonard is a must keep though he could replace Kemo and save us some money. But of course I would love to get Shaun Smith.

If by some chance that Kemo comes back 100%, 3rd and short and goaline situations will be pretty sick.

Peppers(?), Leonard, Kemo, Shaun Smith, Brayton. Would be badass, but I know I'm dreaming.

First off. Smith is not comming here, his suspension is not served until signed. Could be lifted like Lynchs or even Vick for that matter. If panthers signed Smith today he would not be availible until week 9.

At the very least we would have some experience and rotation. OF course this is all based on if Kemo is still on the team next year. I believe he will be due to money, but it is an unknown. Definetly liked what little bit we saw from Double LL.

yeah..I think with the thomas signing we can put the shaun smith thing to bed..but you have to rem if fox is still here..you can count on some washed up vets being here..because fox puts a lot of stock in vets.even if the younger player is better.lol.but on the other hand if fox is not here.then almost all the DT will be gone because new coaches want there own guys and this class is deep in DT.

true...if we got smith it would b a while until we could use him but if we sign him soon enough i think we could kinda save our season as far as not having a loosing season, cuz we're really only a solid DT and a saftey away from being really competitive

Well that should help him eat up space and make tackles.
If you thought Buckner was good,i bet you like jake delhomme as offensive mvp for the nfl this year
i didn't say he was good. just that he was probably going to be here and had a good personality.

that won't win you games but it makes people a little less miserable.

i'd rather have shaun smith as far as talent goes.

I'd rather have a guy who isn't suspended and was a huge issue before that. Despite the fact that he's obviously a shoe-in for first ballot hall of fame, of course.

Seriously - why do people think Shaun Smith is that great? Hasn't finished a year, attitude, steroids, 100 tackles in six years.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
