Clayborn left the game with a knee injury yesterday.

Not good. Clayborn has been an integral part of the d line rotation. If he goes down that opens the door for Courtney Upshaw and Hageman. Upshaw has played pretty while Hageman is a huge fucking disappointment. Hopefully Clayborn isn't down very long.

So Vic, Freeney and Brooks Reed the only pass rushers left.

This one on Matt and nobody but him

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Pretty much but a Tampa loss and we're still in good shape.

Hopefully Julio, Sanu and Mathews is good

Welp...... I guess Matt Ryan was due for one of these games. He usually have 1 or 2 of these a year.

That damn fake punt. We called a timeout and still let them pull that shit off. I was hot after that shit.

Injury report

"Jones has a turf toe injury that Quinn said the team does not believe will be a long-term issue, which fits with Jones saying he was OK after the game.

Left tackle Jake Matthews left the game with what Quinn called a knee sprain on Monday. Quinn said that Matthews will not practice on Wednesday, but they hope he can go on Thursday and play against the Rams in Week 14.

Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu will also miss practice on Wednesday after injuring his groin, but, like Matthews, the team isn’t ruling him out of anything beyond that."

Surprised but not disappointed

4 years, 38 mill....21 mill guaranteed

 

[ya boi g]

Im surprised also but I like Alford for the most part, penalties just get frustrating. Alford has been playing better lately also. Hes always been good for some big plays every year and he gets ints.......

Question is gonna be what this means for Tru. If Alford got 38 mil, then Tru will probably want somewhere around 45 mil. Thats around $80+ million for 2 corners if the Falcons extend Tru next year.

That is steep 4 2 corners but the front 7 is all draft picks, with the exception of a few vets. Pass-rush is there, LB core is solid except 4 Campbell. He's just going through his growing pains. We need a DT more than any other position on the team.

The offense just needs a RG

I can see TD doing that 5th year option with Tru. His injury and Alford's signing gives TD a little(not a lot) of leverage. That can give TD another year to decide if Collins is ready. He's looking legit right now. Definitely cheaper to roll with Alford, Collins and Poole.

Per Adam Schefter -

"Falcons optimistic WR Julio Jones, who didn't practice Weds, will be able to play vs Rams on Sunday, per source. Not as promising for Sanu."

Idk about putting that much money into 2 corners but it ain't my money so fuck it

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

I'm all 4 spending Tru's money on a top tier WLB, in his prime, and signing a 2nd tier DT for run defense.

Tru sat out during rookie contract. He won't be cheap. If he walks, we just have to roll with Collins. Draft a DT/RG in the 1st 2 rounds.

A lot of FAs next season. Don't need a lot of em if you ask me. Spend that bread on the front 7.

Falcons suppose to have a bunch on money to spend next year. Draft should focus on defense again with maybe a G in the first 4 rounds.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Mathews and Julio is questionable

Sanu is out
