They got better, Asante at one corner, Brent Grimes at the other, Robinson in the slot!!!! Robinson is the weakest of the three and thats were we will attack.

Samuels with Grimes on the other side and Dauta playing the nickel. I don't know guys and the master mind SP will be out for the year. The Falcowns got a little better today.

Congrats for not being a Homer, and looking at it from a football standpoint. And to all who said we over reached and paid too much, you need to wake up and smell the coffee! A 7th round pick for a 4 time pro-bowler. If you guys would have made that trade you would be saying it was the trade of the decade! Oh yea, and here you go too!

2011 - 61 targets 4.4 yards per pass (#3 in NFL) 67% success rate (#3 in NFL) 2.0 yac (#2 in NFL)

You still need a pass rush!

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes over here.

He's still good, but there's really no one cover corner out there that Brees can't find a way to beat. This may improve the Falcons chances against other teams, but I don't see it as being any real factor against us.

He's only played against us once since Brees has been in N.O. he had 5 tackles no INTs. We did beat them 48-22 but its not a lot to go on cuz that was the only game he played against us. I think he's still good enough to start. I think he'll have some trouble with this division but we just have to see. I see him as more of a great route jumper more than anything. He's a high risk high reward type of CB. I've seen him get burned before because of his risk taking. Its a good pickup for the Falcons can't hate on it, at the same time I don't see Brees really struggling with throwing on his side of the field because I feel confident Colston can out physical & out jump him. He def can't cover Graham.

This is has Blanks stamp written all over it. Falcons are 1-11 vs SP/ Brees Saints era in NFCS. They are trying to find a way of stoping the saints passing game. If Smith loses 2 division games again this season vs the Saints, I would not be surprised to see him replaced next season.

No, not really. Pro baller pass tense, you want the CB during his PB year caddy. I think he's very good, but I also know he comes from weak QB divisions, and Eli is an interception machine.

I think it was a great move. One you have no choice but to do. It explains why probably Blank didn't care about lofton, and the money spent. I think everyone agrees your much better with him. Im just interested to see how he responds to a division only great to elite QB's. He has his work cut out for him. But its a great accusation.

There was a guy on the Lions site asking why we went after him last year, and let him go by this year. The rest of us listed a whole bunch of reasons. Don't feel bad (for those who do) that you didn't get him either. He is too old, declining performance last year, too big of a contract for only a few 'good' years.
