Cosign... Add a FS. Ricardo Allen played solid in the playoffs but he wasnt that great during the 16 game season. At least bring in someone that can challenge him.
We have a lot of work to do but if we can keep a lot of our own players that are about to be FA's(Ishmel, Robinson, Upshaw, Tamme, Dimarco. I would even bring Freeney back), add a couple more players through the draft and Free Agency and I think we will be good. We have a solid core. Window should be open 3-4 years.

Tough luck on the game. But I was wondering, and have been for a little while, why y'all don't use Julio more? Don't get me wrong, he gets his. But it just seems like y'all don't make it a point to feed him much.

Because we didn't have to. Sanu and Gabriel played great this year. And even with less targets and passes forced to Julio and him missing games he still got off, this season.

I get you. Just seems like he goes MIA sometimes. If he didn't have that crazy ass sideline catch, it'd be hard to even remember he was playing. And late in the SB when you needed a catch bad, it seemed like it was drawn up for someone else.
Not knocking him, saying he becomes ineffective. Just wondering if he's not looked at much sometimes (maybe because of injury).

They made it a priority to spread the ball around instead of forcing it to him like the previous season.

They limited Julio snaps in the 2nd half of the season because of the toe injury too

Roddy White would have “literally” fought Kyle Shanahan over Super Bowl play calling
Roddy was known for catching footballs, but he thinks the former Falcons offensive coordinator should catch these hands.
Are we over Kyle Shanahan bumbling away Atlanta’s chance at a first Super Bowl win? No way. This will go down in Falcons history with Eugene Robinson’s extra-curricular activities prior to the Super Bowl and an uncovered Harry Douglas tripping over a turf monster in the NFC Championship game.
We’ve seen too much of the news surrounding that play calling collapse. Shanahan saying he blew it. The ridiculous lack of run plays called despite a huge lead and a gassed defense. Criticism from national media. Matt Ryan rumored to have expressed frustration on the sideline about the plays during the game.
Count Roddy White among those mad about it, according to Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As always, he’s got some beautiful quotes.
“I’m glad I wasn’t a part of that team because I probably literally would’ve fought him,” White said.
My money is on Roddy. He had more to say, especially how the criticized play calling hurt the city.
“You destroyed a dream for a city,” White said. “It’s bigger than me. The city of Atlanta needed that championship and you had it. Arthur Blank needed that championship and he deserved to win that game, with everything he’s been through. It was finally our time to win and it just hurt me that we didn’t get it done.”
White didn’t blame the entire loss on Shanahan, but suggested Dan Quinn should have gotten Shanahan on the same page at some point late in the game. White said the play calling was so obviously bad, he would have jumped offsides on the play Ryan took a sack.
At the same time, he thinks Atlanta had a better chance of returning if Shanahan stayed in Atlanta. It’s a great interview (podcast) where White talks about Shanahan, the team, and retirement.

That tells me the Birds are going strictly D-line in the draft and FA. Good news....
Should be able to pickup a zone-blocking OG for cheap somewhere.
Really dont need anything else.

This is the front 7, that's under contract as of right now.
What I see is a priority for a starting DT. A backup for SAM, WILL and LEO. A vet like Spoon would be cheap and a serviveable reserve for WILL & SAM.
Secondary is solid. I dont see anyone other than a few UDFAs and practice squad players competing with Goodwin for the 5th CB spot. And Neasman/Therezie for the last FS position.
Tru, Alford, Collins and Poole at CB
Allen and Poole at FS
Neal and Ishmael at SS
