One Player

by that_falcon_fan on Jan 25, 2012 6:50 PM EST

Honestly in the midst of an already long off-season (it hasn't even been a month yet!), I must say that for all the things that the Falcons need, this post is not relevant to that...

This post is to discuss more of a fantasy, I guess you would say. I want to know from you Falcoholics, if you could have one player from another team for any position, who would it be? I don't want to hear about people coming up in the draft (and if you can FA's too), I am talking about Superstars or just quality players from any team to replace someone of ours. In fact I would really love to hear a player for both the offense and defense. I am sure among all the Falcons fixing needs, you can choose. I know that this post is far from relevancy in the offseason right now, but still I think it is good to take a little break from that sometimes.

My picks:

Defense: Jared Allen for DE!

Offense: Rob Gronkowski! (believe me the offense was a little harder to choose)

Heck for the hey of it, choose a ST player. Any KR, PR, P, or K. And if you want choose your dream candidate for our position coaches. I would so choose Nick Saban for DB coach!

Alright Falcoholics, let's hear it!

I’m gonna go Julius Peppers for DE, Jared Allen had a fantastic year but I think Peppers is better long term.

On offense, I’ll go Joe Thomas at LT. Rock. Solid.

Bosher(2nd half) and Bryant looked good, but Eric Weems had a tough year at PR/KR. So I’ll go Devin Hester.

Oh and despite the national Pats hate

I’d go Bill Belichick for coach since he has a knack for turning flawed teams into Championship contenders

thankyou

for not going the easy route as saying a QB. I am waiting for somebody to want to replace Matt Ryan

That kickoff rule change really didn’t help weems either

Good questions

Defense, I’m going with Jason-Pierre Paul. Kid is ridiculous already and STILL has more potential

Offense is a tough one, but I’m going to have to agree with Beachy Keen and go with Joe Thomas. A stud left tackle would do wonders for Matt Ryan and the running game. (was thinking about Arian Foster, but not sure how much of a product he is of the o-line)

I'd go with

Jason Pierre Paul on defense
Larry Fitzgerald on offense

my choice

Offense- Adrian Peterson. Prior to his knee injury he was a stud in every sense of the word. His pass catching skills were getting better each year. He was the only offense the Vikings had, and teams still couldn’t stop him.

Defense- Demarcus Ware. Without a doubt I’d love to see him line up with Lofton, Nicholas and Spoon. There’s your pass rush!

My picks

Defense – I’d have to go with Jason Pierre Paul. He’s a freak already and still has upside to grow with (as BravesDawg16 noted).

Offense – I’d go with Arian Foster. He’s very good at sneaking through small holes, but he runs angry. He’s also very good in the passing game and he rarely loses yards.

This is a nice break from breaking our necks over need.

I’ll go also with Jason Pierre Paul also because of present performance,youth and upside.

On Offense I’m going with Megatron and I dont consider it close.

Here we go

Offense- Megatron. Easy choice. Most dominant player in the game at any position.
Defense- Justin Smith. If he lined up next to the USS Babineaux, it would be hell to pay for the opposing offensive line. Love his motor.
Special Teams- Billy Cundiff. Not to kick field goals, just to do kickoffs. He is very good at them.

Good Post

Offense: Lesean McCoy or MJD…a dominent running back who can catch the ball out of the backfield would do wonders for our offense.
Defense: Troy Polomalu…he’s a game changer and one of the best defensive players in the NFL.

by Falconzfan284 on Jan 26, 2012 1:40 PM EST reply actions

another game changer on D...

Brian Cushing (ILB) from Houston. He has a good nasty attitude and would change our soft reputation we have for D. Dunta can’t do it all by himself.

(p.s. Cushing is my second choice behind Jared Allen)

My choice

Offense: Maurkice Pouncey, I think a new center to take over from McClure would do wonders for our O-line

Defense: JPP, same as all others have mentioned, another I considered was Eric Weddle FS from chargers, he is probaly the best playing FS atm

Good post

Defense: JPP. Dudes a freak and it’s only his 2nd year. He would easily fill the void of pass rush.

Offense: Joe Thomas. Arguably the best tackle in the game, he would fill our weakest offensive position. With Turner probably gone next season, I have a feeling we’re gonna move to a more pass happy offense…we need Matt’s blind side protected.
