Asante ESPN RADIO Interview
ESPN: How many corners do you think are better than you?
Asante: ZERO... Numbers don't lie.
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=9236371
50 picks. 2 Rings. 3 time all-pro.
*shrug*
iono, but if nikkas can believe Sherman's "argument" based on a couple years of stats, they gotta believe Asante too.
Didn't know he was born in Ghana either.
Also props to him going back and getting his degree at UCF this year.

A x-factor that nobody is talking about...
Best Fullback in the draft last year, got hurt in preseason.
Dirk Koetter actually uses FB's and he uses them well. Made both of the lame FB's we had last year look better than they actually were. And Bradie has better skills than both of them.
He won't get any glory, but he'll help with the tough yardage, catch some clutch check downs, and help Steven Jackson get to the 2nd level.
Jax can get to the 2nd level without a FB on most plays, but if we can get him there untouched you talmbout a 1,500 yard season easy.
Looking back on Emmitt Smith's career, the main reason he got the rushing record is because that O-line and Moose Johnston at Fullback made it so where he didn't even get touched until like 3 yards PAST the line of scrimmage.

Good to see Shawty-Lo without that knee brace. Already looks about 5-10 pounds heavier than at Stanford. That's a good thing.
"Falcons Tried to Bring Abe Back"
John Abraham had heard enough from Atlanta Falcons fans asking him to return to the team. After all, he wasn't the one who ended his seven-year run with the organization.
"Y yall keep tweeting me like I did it," Abraham tweeted on Monday. "I got cut stop asking to come back plz"
At one point, it wasn't just the fans asking Abraham to return.
The Falcons have been in contact with the free-agent defensive end and future Hall of Fame candidate about a return, but were told by Abraham it's not going to happen, a person informed of those talks told USA TODAY Sports.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were to remain private, said no official offer was made but the front office made inquiries to see if Abraham would return at a steep discount. The person said there was also a big push from inside the Falcons locker room for Abraham to consider coming back.
TINY WINGS: Falcons rookies make good first impression
Abraham, who has never played in a Super Bowl and came awfully close last season, was owed $5.75 million in base salary this season before being released.
Wherever he winds up, he'll have to take a discount from that figure, but he was not interested in doing so with the Falcons.
Abraham most recently visited the Tennessee Titans last week and talks are ongoing with the team, according to another person, who was briefed on Abraham's conversations with clubs. The person, who requested anonymity because neither side has commented publicly, said Abraham could wind up making a visit to another team if he can't reach an agreement with the Titans.
Before the draft, Abraham visited the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
Abraham turned 35 Monday. His Twitter account sent out tweets over the weekend indicating he was going to retire, though those tweets have since been deleted.
Abraham isn't the only veteran with an impressive resume still on the market.
Fellow defensive end Dwight Freeney remains unsigned. Freeney also visited the Broncos and Patriots but left without a contract after both meetings.

Its a business, but its hard not to take things personal when you get cut. Even though in the back of his head he probably knew he wasnt gonna play out that contract he signed last year.

Palmer was the odd man out anyway. He's a decent back-up TE -- especially blocking. But as far as receiving, he was going to go into training camp as the 4th best TE on the roster.

None, really.
Mike Smith is not a "character" like alot of these coaches, but the thing I like most about him is his emphasis on fundamentals.
The biggest myth when it comes to the NFL and NBA is that it's all about big names and talent. False.
It's the pros. Everybody's "good". The separation comes from the teams that don't turn the ball over, aren't heavily penalized, and get the most out of the talent that they do have.
That's why alot of college coaches fail in the NFL. They lived off of talent alone.
He does 'take his foot off the gas' sometimes, but that has more to do with personnel. We just didn't have the personnel last year to put teams away when we had big leads.
Our biggest needs coming into this offseason were...
Pass rush and Running game.
When you have a lead and you want to "put away" the opponent, what do you need?
Pass rush and Running game.
When you don't have those - teams can easily pass to come back and your offense has to keep passing and risk turnovers and quick 3-and-outs just to try to put away the game.
What Smitty did with that 2008 team is one of the best coaching jobs in sports in the last 10 years.
NOBODY had us even winning 5 games. Much less only losing 5 games and going to the playoffs.

Everything that Dimitroff did early in the offseason is making sense now. All of it.
We'll have about 4 million in cap space after June 1st just off the Clabo cut. And then we'll give Matty is his new deal which might clear as much as 2 millie in cap space for this year.
Welcome back home, Richard...

Shouts out to my nikka Bobby RO-Mack gettin' a lil bit of media love.
PFF named him as a "Secret Superstar" corner.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/05/14/secret-superstar-robert-mcclain/
It started off briefly. In Week 2 he was on the field for just two snaps yet managed to pick off Peyton Manning on one of those. He’d have to wait until Week 4 to play again, but with that one pick people were starting to look at him, and more playing time was to follow as the Falcons realized that the 5-foot-9 cornerback might be the answer to their slot coverage woes.
It started against the team and coach that had cut him — Ron Rivera and the Carolina Panthers. He was on the field for 37 snaps and gave up only one reception for 8 yards all game. However, the league is filled with players who come in and do a job one game and then are exposed as teams find out more about them. McClain was bound to be more thoroughly tested against the Redskins a week later, and he was. He had three balls thrown into his coverage, allowing two of them to be complete for a combined 6 yards.
It was to be a similar story for the rest of the year. McClain would wind up allowing 64.8% of the 71 balls (including playoffs) to be complete, but at just 9.2 yards per catch and with no touchdowns allowed he had impressed. In giving up just 0.91 yards per snap in coverage while in the slot (ninth-lowest of all defensive backs) he had found his role. In surrendering a first down on just 4.75% of coverage snaps (11th-best of all cornerbacks) he had proven himself.
He got some competition this year tho. I think he can fend off Alford for at least a year for that 3rd/Nickel spot tho. Plus Asante is bound to miss at least a couple games so he'll get more snaps at #2 like he did last year.
