Re: Why we gotta Sign Julio Jones
One, ATL is gonna add that option year to the former first rounder, and just can't see them letting him leave...
Two, we just moved up in the first round of the past draft at the expense of an add'l pick, third rounder... Three, we've got major holes to fill on the offensive line and yet to find 34 linebackers for our new, yet-installed, 34 defense... Fourth, we've got to decide and have cap space for our starting defensive ends which makes Galette's deal a head scratcher... Fifth, the only way we're getting a complementary CB to Keenan Lewis is free agency as the FO has shown a complete inability to assess and draft one... Not to mention that we're gonna have to release some players in the final year of their contract and they'll need replacement... Committing that much cap space to a few individuals?!? Haven't we learned our lesson yet?!? We've got enough weapons at the offensive skill position with only one ball to throw per play... How are you gonna find him enough targets to justify signing him to what you'll sign him for... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I think Ohio State may be better now than I thought with Meyer. Because with Tressel they produced NFL busts. Or maybe they did not want to play for us(Jenkins). But Roby and Hyde are doing well when given the chance. If we get anyone outside of these conferences and schools we are taking chances. Sedrick Ellis and Fortt came from pac 12's highly loved USC and UCLA. And neither worked out for us. I mean I'm talking NFL ready not needing development. Fortt may be good a few years from now but he is not NFL ready. |
