I know Bumper Pool is a favorite with the name and all but don't be shocked if the other LB UDFA makes the team instead. Ajiake played under our one LB coach when he was the DC at UNLV.

Ajiake is a good player but I don't know how he puts on 20 or more lbs of muscle on his frame. Maybe he will. Pool weighs 231, Ajaike 221 - that's the size of our new WR. Maybe they like him in Chinn's role, but he's gonna have a tough time as a 3-4 lb.

Cam Peoples is a pretty big dude for a running back. 🤔

6'1, 215 runs probably a 4.5. He runs a lot more like he's 230 and that tended to show up later in games at App.

Two things will tell for Cam (who I've followed since App started recruiting him) and those are his health and his catching ability. He has all of the want to in the world and is a lot like a Cam Newton type on the sideline. 

I'll be interested to see what he can do in the offense. He's very much a stretch, Press, cut and gone type guy for a big dude. Otherwise it's press and push the pile.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
