You dont tell guys that played well that they all have a "clean slate."

I 100% take that to mean that they were garbage on film but they will be given a chance to win jobs because they are here for now.

Maybe Jerry can heist someone for a mid round pick for one of these dudes, because they clearly arent the future.

When Lewis got more PT last year his grades weren’t good on majority of plays. He’s around the ball when it bounces up in the air but he wasn’t good at staying with his man most of the time.

He’s one of the best tacklers on the team - in fact one of the few cowboys in a longtime that wraps his guy and takes him to the ground instead of that shoulder bump bs

That's what I'm saying
I think that is more of what WR the NFL is producing, 6'2+ 210+ if youf 5'10 and 190 and you have to out jump someone that is 6'2+ and same vertical you do the math bigger man wins most of the time.

they hired Nolan to be DC.

he hasn’t coached as DC since the nightmare in Atlanta.

he was hired as DC because he gave MIke the OC job at 49ers.

they are big buddies.

I like more that we brought in Edwards... i think your going to see a CO DC / major game planing contributor. Collaboration is the term in TECH now so i think your going to see alot of Collaboration just like your going to see on the offensive side of the ball.

Stlll think Lewis has to be the biggest overrated pet cat I've seen in a while. He makes some plays but he freelances and makes big mistakes, too. Those just aren't as noticeable from the TV screen.

I'm ready for all new corners. I'd love for both Diggs and Robinson to play. Chido was so promising but he lost his confidence or something, and sometimes that doesn't come back.

we need the CB group to over achieve to have success. someone WILL need to show out. I'm thinking Lewis or Diggs.

CB's on the Falcons when Nolan was DC:

Asante Samuel: 5-10
Desmond Trufant: 6-0
Robert Alford: 5-10
Robert McClain: 5-9
Charles Mitchell: 5-11

That's from preseason 2013. Doesn't appear Nolan prefers taller CB's.

I'm always happy to hear the best man wins the job. Makes men hungry, which makes for better football.
Main reason I've been saying for years that players should get a base salary per position and then paid on performance after that. The league would be soooo much better that way.

we dont want to copy the 2012-2014 Falcons defense.

They were terrible.

No one said we did. However, people keep saying this staff also prefers taller CB's. As the DC in ATL, Nolan filled the roster w/ shorter CB's. So, it appears that taller CB statement may not be true.

Lol. I am not a Chido fan at all. Guy is Mr Apathetic out there. Zero dawg in him.
Thank you.

That guy has way more fans on this forum than he has earned.

Guess things like that make it a great game. People can watch the same thing and take a complete opposite view of it.

What I saw was that when a 3rd down needed to be converted, far too often was 24 the guy who was in coverage.

Whatever they use these days to measure corner play, I'm sure Awuzie being around to pick on had a lot to do with Jones's evaluation.

Chido played almost to a T how his scouting report said he would. Many scouts thought he was more of a slot type or S. That's what I'm seeing.
