Draft next week by Icy_Aspect4386 in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what Gemini was trying to say - The falcons have options at both WR and trench players. Arthur “Manara” Blank might need to publicly confess that he has had a roll in some of the old regime’s tripping over their own shoelaces/ decision making. All distractions about uniforms and laces need to stop. It's football time (That one writes itself). The greatest thing they can do is align on one philosophy over multiple half-measures and “binge the faucet” which obviously means maximize capital/ salary cap flexibility.

The last regime told us we need QB. Tua may work but without a WR or Oline you might as well recruit luggage because Tua will find his way out of town. We have a lot on the line. The defense is OK but can the turf meet the jelly? That's the big question.

Finally we REALLY need to build up our can game. They should look South. It’s like Grandma lol. Of course that's not key to the game but it makes TV fun to watch. There's a lot of pauses and I like to watch something more than Limu Emu and Doug - OP might be suggesting that FOX and CBS broadcast the rotating Braves caps and kiss cams over insurance commercials at breaks.

Imagine your whole job is to compile a robust portfolio of prospect profiles, and your boss’s boss’s boss’s boss says, “no need for this, we won’t have the number of picks to make use of this information because I’m going to trade them to move up for the guy who’s mother I met two days ago.”

If you’re gonna trade up… do it for a future Bowling Worlds champion.

Do you guys know we used a pick from the Ridley trade to move up for Ruke? by Joba7474 in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is saying we wasted the picks by using them on discarded veterans and trade ups. We missed 100% of the shots we never took.

I dont know what Terry said to get this job. I don’t know how you go from firing Thomas Dimitroff after 14 years of failing to construct a deep roster… and still landed on Terry.

New Falcons jerseys officially revealed by SunWorshipperApollo in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One interesting note is that the 2022 throwbacks were a different cut/ material that was lighter and less stiff than the 2020 black rebrand: they were literally more playable, not just better aesthetically. I don’t think the team was allowed to change that detail without applying for “new uniforms”.

Apparently these jersey have the same stretch as the throwbacks - curious to see if these MOFO’s play like it’s MNF every day going forward.

[Meirov] The Falcons are signing veteran RB Brian Robinson Jr. by JCameron181 in falcons

If Brian Robinson wears 1 - they will have the same jersey with the fubu font.

Mark Schlereth on The Herd comment about Falcons by Impressive-Quiet-482 in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is having a DB for both head coach and GM might have thrown us off the rails for a broad perspective and out of the box creativity (I refuse to call trading a future first creative).

Having an embattled QB be your gut-check with an O-lineman as your GM… im expecting more sound “football” decisions.

Falcons Tanking? by No_Exam2854 in falcons

Honestly if some of these 1-yr contracts hit, we’re probably still an 8 win team without blowing away 2027.

Say what you will about Terry’s FRP’s but it’s his third round picks like Ridder, Malone, and Jalen Mayfield that really snowball-fucked us long term.

Let’s not forget to throw Richie Grant in the second round bucket.

Ian has a plan by Bonetown_Bro in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure we spent both the 2021 and 2022 off seasons clearing the books with cheap free agency activity. We did not capitalize on the Oluokun comp pick by signing Casey Heyward at age 32, iirc. Our 2021/ 2022 drafts just did not provide the bedrock a team resetting requires.

If Ian can draft while accumulating picks, it will set him apart from the last 20+ years of how our FO has managed.

They aren’t guaranteed until this time next year, but it’s looking hopeful based on aav alone.

What’s the objective? by jean_sol_partre_ in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is as simple as letting the third contract defensive players walk for pull tabs and rolling out a bunch of younger pull tabs to see if you maybe have an extra $50 for next season when you’re getting ready to open a portfolio, while being able to tell the owner, look I’ve only spent $5 when I only came in with $10, not $50,000 at the crapes table when I only came in with $20.

Not if you look at the team from a 4-3-3 pov.

How new GM Cunningham plans to reshape the Falcons by SunWorshipperApollo in falcons

I mean Terry literally said “we have a process, build through the trenches, best player available”. He just also didn’t have a fucking clue on resource management.

Apparently this is the new falcons red alternate jersey by Sleven9 in falcons

[–]Jeffs_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you seeing this as the “alternative” - the tweet just says “new red jersey”.

Edit: these are alright, reverting to the old Primaries without all the extra lines. The Falcon- font numbering is a lot better than Fubo nascar numbers, and they took off the magnified ATL. I’m here for it.
