*HARD KNOCKS LYFE* The OFFICIAL 2014-15 ATL DIRTEE BIRDS THREAD

[greenwood1921]

Word is we might sign Nick Barnett, former Packers LB.

I would dig that. We need all the bodies we can get @ LB. Our defensive signings remind me a lot of what we did going into '98. Signing vets that people thought were washed for depth. Shit pays off late in the season.

Been saying I was gonna hit camp for the last few years and I finally went today.... Here are just a few things I noticed....

-That boy Julio looked good. He beat Tru a couple times today for a few catches.

-Hi Top Jop and Worrilow both look bigger

-Tru and Alford both look stronger

-Had been hearing some bad things about Tyler Starr but he had a couple good plays today when the O went against the D. He swat 2 passes and got pressure on Ryan. Ryan completed the pass but if he could hit Ryan it might have been a sack

-I think WR Reedy will make the team. Dude is fast as hell and made a couple nice catches today. Ran away from everybody on one play...

-Shawty Lo tall as hell. Easy to spot

-Antoine Smith put a nasty stiff arm on Tru. I believe it would have been a tackle if they were going full speed. Still looked nasty tho.

-Defense kept the O out of the endzone at the goal line. Mass got an int on 4th down to end practice. Pass was from Yates...

-Lowery looked good out there. He may be the most underrated signing. Broke up a pass to Douglass from Ryan and was down in the box banging with linemen and the FB. Not afraid of contact coming off that concussion last year.

- Willy Mo is in the box a lot right next to the LB's

I took some good pic's too.... Might post a few

Word is McClain and Allen might get crossed trained at Safety until Lowery and Southward come back.

 

[greenwood1921]

Congratulations to Claude Humphrey. Another Falcon in the hall.

From what I saw he has started about 23 of the 50 something games he has played with about 2 Int's. He probably a body who will be decent depth if everyone is healthy by time the season start. But that aint looking to good....

ESPN Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure believes FS Dwight Lowery's concussion could put his "season in doubt."

Lowery suffered a severe concussion three games into last season, so his history of brain injuries is a major concern. It's yet another worry for an Atlanta defense that could be roasted by the pass all season. They're below average at safety, and perhaps the NFL's weakest team when it comes to pass rush.

I hate Thomas D more and more every day... SMMFH if there is any truth to this...... If we have no pass rush again this year and the play from whoever starts at safety is bad im starting a fire Thomas Dimitroff campaign....

 

[Livefromclayco]

The safety spot might be a blessing in disguise for McClain cause it looked like his confidence was gone at the end of last season.

 

[greenwood1921]

Word. And it ain't like we need some bruiser hitter at that FS spot. If that's the case then we've played without a Free Safety for the last 4 years.

Spoiler

^^^ Cause this fuck nikka can't bust a grape.

I heard Hawley is in his feelings because Konz is giving him more comp than people expected.

I knew Konz wasn't a lost cause. He just needed a shot to be a true center with a good OL Coach - instead of bouncing around to plug holes in the line.
