Vote for the Greatest Falcons Secondary of All Time

I could go either way on this one since I like both of thes guys a lot. Deion was 2 legit 2 quit… lol. Seriuosly though the guy got me interested enough to start buying season tickets and I have only missed one season since then. I do think that overall though that Roland Lawrence’s Stats are better.

Deion wasn’t much of a tackler, but he was a very, very good cover corner. Rolland Lawrence would be a close second.

why isn’t our current secondary on there?

Houston should be an automatic shoe in!

Ray Buchanan’s getting the Super Bowl effect again… Probably his Career Year (and only trip to the Pro Bowl) came in 1998, but I’d say he’s easily #5 (and maybe #6) of these guys.

Ray Brown seems like he’s getting the shaft a bit here. In 7 years, he put up numbers similar to what Scott Case did in 11 years (except Case’s crazy high tackle numbers 1990 thru 1993 – but before 1994, they can sometimes be a little wonky). Case seems like a good player that stuck around forever.

Deion is just the opposite – he was fantastic, but was only in ATL for those 5 years.

That’s why I voted for Rolland Lawrence. He was very good for a long time (played 8 years), is #1 in all-time franchise INT’s, and was the only 1st Team All-Pro on that ridiculous 1977 defense (Claude Humphrey was the only other defender who even got Pro Bowl honors that year).

and throw in Tom Pridemore for good measure

Prime time!

Since I’ve been watching Falcon ball Deion was quite dominate not only as a cover corner, but as a returner as well. He was’nt much of a tackler though. I’m not familiar with a couple of names on this list, so Im guessing their pre 1979 lol. DeAngelo Hall was a great corner while he was with Hotlanta as well.

Scott needs to get more credit here. Not only do I remember him as a powerful hitter, but his longevity stands out in a Van Note manner. Didn’t he have 12+ years in the secondary?

was the man…i believe it was Emmitt Smith that said the hardest he’d ever been hit was by Scott Case…Dion was fast and had great hands but near every long pass completed was generally to his side of the field ,i liked Brian Jordan way more

but if im not mistaken he only played for us for a couple of years then went to playing baseball full time. I actually met him once and asked him if he would ever come back to football. this is when he was still playing baseball. He laughed and said hell no. It hurt too much.

I thought Tim Mckyer was pretty solid. I mean he did play opposite Primetime, and so to have he ball coming his way most of the time, he held his own. Maybe he didn’t play here long enough?

What, no Charles Dimry?
