Falcons Re-Sign Defensive End Chauncey Davis

Chauncey was a solid player for the Falcons and I’d hate to see him leave too. I’m very pleased the Falcons could get this deal done!!!!

Even if it is a re-sign. Davis is worth the money. This made my day!

and apparently with TD, thats the name of the game. Hungrier, Faster, Younger….

I like it. Good size, we KNOW what we are getting, and underutilized up til now hopefully.

I think he gets a chance to start and come out on 3rd down passing situations (which i dont like) in place of Bierman or someone else…

He could get 8-9 sacks maybe ? if he gets the majority of the snaps?

Granted, Davis wasn’t an essential cog-in-the-wheel last year, but 14 mill/4 yrs is reasonable IMO.

Now just move Anderson to tackle and I’ll be falling all over the place with joy. I’m easy to please.

especially if we pick up Montgomery – our run stopping ability will be pretty solid with the addition of a nice sized DT which could be picked up way late in the draft.

I don’t feel that Davis makes a solid pass-rushing tandem with John Abraham, but perhaps we could look into a quicker DE somewhere in the draft?

I didn’t want to get y’all too excited, but I’d been in talks w/ the Birds. They said they thought I could contribute, at least better than Anderson. I told ‘em, "Look, I’m only 5’10 and 180 lbs, and I only played one year of high school football. Plus, I was the third string right tackle." TD didn’t seem to care.

If the SG Standard dream of Jamaal Anderson moving inside came true, I think Davis could post 7-8 sacks as a full-time player. If they rotate him out with Abraham or Biermann, cut that total by 1/3rd or 1/2.

The Falcons are probably going to give the Jamaal Anderson one more offseason to prove he can start full time. But right now, I’d make the argument that they foresee Chauncey as capable of beating him out. He’s proven a lot more than Anderson has in the past and I would not at all be surprised if you saw Chauncey come out as the starter in week 1.

Anderson had better realize that the fire is on his butt after this signing. You don’t give a guy a four year contract unless you think there’s a good chance he can win that starting job. This should make for an interesting position battle in the offseason.

The Gruesome Twosome. They love the smell of crushed Quaterback in the morning.

I’m not sure who made the suggestion (it wasn’t me), but I think TD must have told Davis that he’d have an expanded role and the opportunity to eventually compete for a starting position.

Otherwise, given the statements his agent was making, he would have pursued greener pastures.
