I do agree about not rating it yet... kind of like saying someone won the first quarter

well once this appeals crap is done then i will feel better. that wont be till after the draft any ways. i always expect the worse. it makes it easier that way for me. optimistic pessimist - never disappointed with a half full glass of milk in a half empty glass

We did lose some good players, but they were all system players.

Sproles, Moore and DLP are our biggest losses, but they aren't what I'd call huge losses. Scat backs are luxuries and can easily be replaced.

DLP was a journeyman OC on his 6th team. He fit our system well but can be replaced.

Moore's skills looked to be declining in my view. Its a loss, but not a huge one.

Harper, Collins, Smith, Vilma, and even Jenkins are all replaceable.

Did I miss DLP signing with another team?

player.

This says all I need to know about this clown writer.

They haven't done squat. They act like Tyson Jackson is going to solve all there woes. Ummm the dude has been the league 6 years and has 200 tackles and 9 sacks. Paul Soliai in 8 years has 160 tackles 2 FF 4.5 sacks. Yeah..lmao

He says the Falcons have yet to lose a single player like it's a good thing.

They went 4-12. The NEED to lose some players.

Um...is that a picture of the author at the bottom of the article? If so he looks about as intelligent as his analysis.

Graham's FT is already counted, there is yet to be an appeal to get sorted, if somehow he gets the WR tag, Grubs and Evans restructure fixes that or we rescind the FT.
Nothing to worry about.

I'm with you... I think it's a good sign that we are signing players and having players come back- shows stability and that players want to play here, and that the FO has a plan.

Anyone know if Graham has actually filed a grievance/appeal yet?
