Falcons 53 Man Roster Analysis

PrintFinal cuts have come and gone. Here's a list.
We had a few surprises today. President Jackson was cut, though I think he'll ride the practice squad much like Jose Valdez has done the past two seasons. Valdez was also cut, which is somewhat surprising though I'm not sure he looked that good this year.
Late round DE Cliff Matthews and UDFAs Antone Smith and Darrin Walls made the team. Smith earned his keep the other night, running for 100+ yards and getting 40+ yards on receptions. Glad to see Walls make the team. He has good size and he's been busting his tail since training camp. Matthews has also looked good in limited playing time. I'm not used to seeing #98 in the backfield!
I expect the Falcons to hold to at least Kevin Cone on the PS. He is too fast to let him slip away to another team. I figured Robert James was on his way out after getting in trouble last year. Evidently, we have backup center Rob Bruggeman still on the roster. I imagine he'll be cut once McClure comes back.
I hope we keep Bear Woods on the practice squad. He's looked good to me, though he might be a numbers victim and, to my knowledge, he has one more year of PS eligibility.
Looks like we're going with 5 WR, also, with Roddy, Julio, HD, Meier, and Weems being it, unless I'm forgetting someone. I'd like for us to put a developmental prospect QB on the practice squad. Dave might've hit Froman on the head with his guess.
Otherwise, nothing really special sticks out to me. Spencer Adkins looked good at times last night, I imagine that's why he's still with us.
Any thoughts/surprises/suggestions? Keep in mind this isn't the final roster, but only the initial 53 man roster. More moves could still be made this week.

He'll probably land on the PS.
Even without Bush, we have 10 DBs. That’s probably too many.

yeah, but Cut Day is the worst day of the year for football fans and players
I H8 that Turk !
I will most miss Bear Wire and Andy
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I'd add Harvey to to that list. :(

will allen is now a free agent could be perfect
Just think about it Aaron Rodgers comes out 5 wide we have four veteran corners and franks on the field have lofton spy on franks man. Who would he throw the ball too?

His Center...
pretty much EVERYONE on that f’in team can catch a ball…lol
April 1974 - Tug McGraw, when asked if he preferred grass or AstroTurf: "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf."
I imagine he'd just run it
Also I’m pretty sure Jermichael Finley would be one of those receivers. At 6"5 250 he would have a significant size advantage over any one of those corners.
So true...
forgot about Finley being health again…grrrrrrr

he can't run and throw to finley the whole game
If we were to let him sit back there decide if he feels like throwing to finley or scrambling for 7 yards (he is not mike Vick) we would almost definitely beat them not to say that we don’t have a good chance now I just want to humiliate him like he did us and to add with our pass rush I don’t think he will get that many yards running every play he is almost garanteed to get injured the pack would rather put a backup in than let Rodgers suffer a serious injury
by falcons101 on Sep 3, 2011 9:37 PM EDT via iPhone app up reply actions
They're not going to line up in 5 wide every play
And his receivers will still get open no matter how many veteran corners we have. I like the idea, I just don’t think stopping the Packers offense will be that simple.
and that's the thing
Whenever it’s only 3 wide or 2 wide we can rotate corners man he wouldn’t know what to do. I Mean they are gonna score about 21 points regardless so why not get even more veterans to help confuse him. You are right about the pass rush though we should definitely get there we just need to force turnovers
by falcons101 on Sep 3, 2011 10:42 PM EDT via iPhone app up reply actions
Look...
the primary problem with ANY QB like Rodgers is getting pressure. He can be beaten, we beat him when we got good pressure. We didn’t get that same result the second time around and it cost the Falcons. The pass rush has been upgraded and the Safeties have been addressed (maybe not to everyone’s full satisfaction but improved none the less).
And now I dare say…we can get into a shootout with the best of them. To heck with humiliation…I just want W’s, don’t care if it’s by 1 run…

Is that a joke question??
Who would A aron Rodgers throw the ball to?? The same people he threw the ball to in the playoffs when the Falcons got their a** whooped… There is really no big difference in the secondary. Dunta Robinson is not the shut-down corner everyone thought he was… Maybe after signing the big contract and coming down to earth, he will possibly perform better this season… Will Allen hasn’t been the same since he tore his ACL in 09. K Hayden has missed 18 games in 3 seasons, Safeties are still a question mark.
Well, at least you're staying positive....\

Looked at the NFL cut list - some good talent now FA
David Gilwreath is a fast WR with good hands who can return as well
Brandon Meriweather an all pro safety
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
this
Meriweather is defintely a guy I would love for us to go after for sure. he’s made the probowl the last 2 years.
" Ryan back to pass, He throws it long, he's going deep to Julio on his first snap! HE CAUGHT IT, HE CAUGHT IT! JJ's dragging the safety into the endzone with him! TOUCHDOWN FALCONS! TOUCHDOWN JULIO JONES!! HIS FIRST ONE IN THE NFL, AND I GOT A FEELING THE FIRST OF MANY MANY MORE TO COME FOLKS!! I GOTTA SAY IT FOLKS - JJ......... IS.......... DY - NO - MITE!!

hang on...wasn't TD with the pats
In 2007? From article below:
“With Meriweather cut, none of the nine members of the Patriots’ ’07 draft class are still with the team just four-plus years later.”
The fact that TD hasn’t given us one good db outside of Moore, makes me wonder…
by sifu on Sep 4, 2011 2:15 AM EDT via iPhone app up reply actions
and DeCoud
and Grimes. While TD didn’t pluck Grimes, they did give him another shot in 2008, I believe. Worked out well.
And Moore, and ShannWow. He signed Coleman, who was solid.
Owens was decent for the half year he started. He found Franks, who has looked good. He found Walls, a UDFA who made the initial 53 man roster.
Yeah, I’d say he’s found some DBs.

Merriweather got cut from the Pats for a reason
He didn’t deserve either of those Pro Bowls. He made them because he played for the Pats and was a 1st round pick. He was benched several times for poor performance.
And Foxworth
Lets not forget 2008 when TD traded for Foxworth midseason to be our #1 CB. Not too shabby of a move. He was part of the revival.
Oh yeah, and there’s also that Dunta Robinson character TD signed…you know…our #1 CB?
And oh yeah
Foxworth was our #1 CB in 2008 who held a sinking ship together.
Not to mention signing that Dunta Robinson character who is our #1 CB. Did you forget about him?
I'm talking 100% on TD's drafting skills
And outside of Moore, he’s produced one middling safety (Decoud), and no other starters. Heck, more than half of his draft choices in the secondary are no longer on the team. I’m just saying, as much as I think TD is a genius, his scouting of DBs leaves much to be desired.
TD was not responsible for drafting anyone in NE
He was the director of college scouting in NE. So he offered up possible draftees but he never made any final decisions.
" Ryan back to pass, He throws it long, he's going deep to Julio on his first snap! HE CAUGHT IT, HE CAUGHT IT! JJ's dragging the safety into the endzone with him! TOUCHDOWN FALCONS! TOUCHDOWN JULIO JONES!! HIS FIRST ONE IN THE NFL, AND I GOT A FEELING THE FIRST OF MANY MANY MORE TO COME FOLKS!! I GOTTA SAY IT FOLKS - JJ......... IS.......... DY - NO - MITE!!
But the DBs he took
Have been mid or late round picks. Those guys are not successful picks more often than they are successful ones. The good picks at DB are Moore (2nd round) and DeCoud (3rd round). The jury is still out on Owens (3rd round) and Franks (5th round) and Schillinger (6th round). Although Schillinger making our roster 2 years in a row as a 6th rounder is a sign he’ll be a good pick for where he was taken. Bad picks at DB are Fontenot (7th round), Chevis Jackson (3rd round) and William Middleton(5th round). I wouldn’t call that a bad record with DBs.
Trades
think we can get a 6th round trade in exchange for Owens?
Hard to believe Jackson didn't look better than Svitek.
Svitek was terrible against Baltimore.

I'm glad Wilson is gone
Looking at his play, you can’t say he deserved a roster spot more than someone like Cliff Matthews or Antoine Smith
Shame about Jackson
I only heard good things about him. Hopefully some other team won’t pick him up and he’ll come back.
I’m ok about the 5 WR look. The other guys just didn’t seem to cut it.
I think the Falcons will get a stiff fine from the NFL
They cannot cut a President -
Andy Jackson must go thru the impeachment process
Mr. Phibee will not be pleased
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I think they can afford a $20 fine
Though I would rather they cut Dick Cheney…no I mean seriously…with a blade…

meriweather??
it’d be sweet if we could pick him up
yes it would be sweet
If we could get him then we could have 6 db’s covering anybody’s 5 Wr sets.
Almost wish we coulda signed him instead of Hayden.

naw he would just take decouds spot
Hayden is exactly what we needed an aggresive cover corner that can help the run he is perfect for us perfect for our nickel spot
by falcons101 on Sep 4, 2011 12:01 AM EDT via iPhone app up reply actions
I don't even think Hayden would have to do that
Hayden might be on the outside against 3 WR sets and we might move Grimes into the nickel. I doubt that happens though. Hayden is a professional and can ball.
Are you guys ready for Week 2 ??
Vick back in town !!!

I don't know if you have to worry about the wideouts
Eagles should be more nervous about that LB crew against Michael Turner and Jason Snelling. Power running seems to hurt the Eagles usually.
Plus, Vick can run around all he likes, but that O-Line is leaky. It should be a good game.
As for the Falcons, I’m worried about Matty every time he drops back to pass, and I’m worried about Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson torching a Falcons secondary player who looks to gamble.
Out-F'ing-standing...and I might be under-exaggerating...

I wouldn't say Fitzgerald
I think AJ Green is a Fitzgerald type player because both don’t have top end speed but make up for it in everything else. The comparisons I’ve heard and like for Julio are a bigger Roddy White and Terrell Owens.
agreed Mos, same thing I've heard and what I think too.
almost a clone of RW, just a little faster
When TO came into the league he wasnt quite as big as JJ,but he did have speed. I would say that he reminds me of TO when he was in Philly. At that point of his career he had ALL the tools, much like JJ does.

Johnson is probably closer but I’ve just never understood player comparisons (and I know people are gonna do it).
Well one I guess it will give use a sense of pride that some new WR will be compared to our JJ…hopefully

Honestly, I am sick to death of the 'Vick returns to Atlanta' storyline.
Now to me he’s just another QB that I want to see eaten alive by Abe/Ray.
It is getting kinda old, but this will be his first game back as a starter, hopefully he won’t get eaten alive by anyone, maybe just slowed down.

I don't agree with that
MOST LB’s can’t keep up with him. Sean Weatherspoon can.
I would love to see Weatherspoon, Patrick Willis, and Michael Vick in a footrace. Vick would win, but not by as much as you’d expect him to.
You guys know I love Ryan and my Falcons. Vick, not so much
I dont think that LB’s could keep up with Vick in a footrace. Remember, when Vick came into the league he was superfast(sub 4.2?) No LB in the league could run better than a 4.45 and that’s fast for a LB, usually they are in the 4.55 range. So even if Vick has gotten slower, say 4.35, in a footrace, a tenth of a sec is 3 or 4 feet in front of the rest. The reason any LB catches him in games is due to the angle they have on him. How many times have you seen even LB’s with an angle still get beat to the edge by Vick? A lot.
I still hate him though! lol

I don't think anyone's ever run a sub 4.2
Vick ran a 4.36 40, which is still very fast but he has probably dropped off since then because of the passage of 10 years, a broken leg and 2 years in prison.

…just saying
April 1974 - Tug McGraw, when asked if he preferred grass or AstroTurf: "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf."
Btw
Watch out for our three Rb’s – we’re going to be doing a lot more running – LeSean McCoy, Ronnie Brown and the Rookie Dion Lewis. Vick will run just when he needs to, he still hasn’t learned to slide, but you do kinda hold your breath when he’s running around, so that is a major concern for him in any game. But we have capable back ups at every position, including Qb’s, just in case Vick does get injured, so not worried too much even if he does take some nasty hits.
Football - It's Beyond an Addiction, It's a Way of Life.
I wouldn't call Vince Young
A capable backup. He has the potential to be one maybe somewhere down the line, but as of now surely you’re not confident in him.
He’s definitely a “capable” back up, why not ?? He has the potential to be a starter once again somewhere down the line, but he’s already a capable back up.
Football - It's Beyond an Addiction, It's a Way of Life.
Actually...
didn’t Young just injure his Hamstring…is that something you guys are concerned about??
April 1974 - Tug McGraw, when asked if he preferred grass or AstroTurf: "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf."
Your capable backups at other positions
Are guys like Brandon Graham, Ronnie Brown, Steve Smith and Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie. I don’t think Young is nearly on the same level.
The only thing with Young is that he’s still picking up the offense cuz he’s never played in this offense before, but there was a big improvement from Game 1 to Game 4 in his grasp of the offense, he should be fine, I love him as our back up. No one has the type of back ups we have, it’s a very envious position to be in.
Football - It's Beyond an Addiction, It's a Way of Life.
I'd rather have the Falcons roster
As well as the Patriots, Chargers, Saints and Packers. But I’m glad you’re happy.
Lol
of course we are all biased towards our team, you’ll see the reason for my happiness in week 2.
Football - It's Beyond an Addiction, It's a Way of Life.

Then again I might not. I wouldn’t go declaring winners when we’re all 0-0. Dream team or not.
You guys have a great team too, it still has to all play out, we’ll see, just keep Dunta away from DeSean.

It’s not supposed to be that serious, he should be listed at the back up for game 1.

Cool...
April 1974 - Tug McGraw, when asked if he preferred grass or AstroTurf: "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf."
Spoon can run with him (Vick has lost a step in speed but not in his cut-back ability) and 5-0 can cut the angles pretty well. Cutting an angle can take away a speed advantage big time. Math freaks rejoice! (No, I am not a math person)
Dont cloud the issue with facts!
That's ok, as I said in another post...

This I agree with...
Spoon has the speed to get Vick. 5-0 is such a solid tackler, and he’s a beast in the middle.
If Vick makes past our LB corps, I kind of hope he runs into William Moore or Dunta Robinson. It would be nice to hit him hard enough to make him think twice about running again.
I’d rather lose to Vick standing in the pocket and throwing the ball than have him scrambling. It means we did the best we could do.

I Know We Have
enough WR. But would like to put that kid Ricardo Lockette on the PS. He was the 2nd fastest guy in the last combine. Didnt make he last cut in Seattle. But very talented
With
Both Abe and Ray in at the same time. Loved how the inside pressure became important. This is a very different DEF from last year
Kinda wish we would have waited
To sign Hayden and Sanders since Lito Sheppard and Meriweather just were cut. Also there has been alot of suprising cuts around the league wonder if we look at any to add to a practice squad or the team.
I'd rather have Sanders and Merriweather
Sheppard couldn’t make a Raiders team that is terrible at CB and Merriweather is perhaps the most overrated player in the league.
Alcon the Falcon Hero made the team!!
