Thanking us for the new safety? LOL Bush has been on your active roster before, Atlanta brought him into the league...

He isn't new, we just improved him a little; also, he isn't yours until Tuesday passes. I will give you a little leniency since its the Falcons way to count eggs before they hatch.

2012.. Unde-frick!

I doubt we match the offer and dont really blame Bush for taking any offers. He isnt a kid anymore and needs to show he is a true starter and should get a multi year deal. He showed plenty of flashes but he was the third safety on tbe roster in snap counts and would likely have been 4th had Harper not missed time. Id love to have him as a third choice safety and like his skill set but he can be replaced by a vet like Bailey or a rookie in the 3-5 rounds if the teams needs depth.

The Falcons sure did lay a few eggs last year.

As noted prior, Hicks didn't play in the CFL, but Tom Johnson did. While he wasn't a superstar, he was a good enough rotational player. Also keep in mind that Seattle's CB Brandon Browner spent 4 years up in the CFL Brandon Browner | Roster | CFL.ca | Official Site of the Canadian Football League

I loved the hit he put on Harvin in the playoffs and his production all season, it would suck to loose him to the Falcons but it wouldn't be the end of the world. RR would find someone else who's strength is the 3rd safety, lets just wait until Tuesday to see what happens, in Loomis I trust

I wonder how much of Ryans 3-safety sets were driven by the fact that we just didn't have a capable 3rd CB to fill that role.

3rd safety is probably just the same as having a big nickelback.

Most of the greatest creations were out of necessity.
