Falcons To Work Out Rookie Justin Houston On March 25

I'll have a longer reaction to this tomorrow, but for now know the Falcons plan to put Georgia DE/OLB Justin Houston through a light workout later this month. As a pass rusher, he could be an intriguing fit for the Falcons.

WRONG

It alternates. One really good Jamal Anderson, then….

The pattern would suggest so.

Rule #1: Double tap.

For the player: I would rather see him drafted to a 3-4 team that will use him as an outside linebacker.

For the Falcons: I’d rather a true full time college DE, if they were to go that route.

Disagree

He weighed in at 270; that’s bigger than Abe at this point. He’s a defensive end, with a little athleticism to cover tight ends when he drops into coverage. What he really needs is a 4-3 scheme where they like to drop their ends into coverage…where would that be….

And there lies the problem

Why would we drop our pass-rusher into coverage on a pass play. I never understood that. We should be developing a D-line that can send 4 at all times and get pressure on the QB. Our LBs should be able to cover better than our DEs.
