Twitter: Any chance we go after Vic Beasley?

[CATCH17]

Did Nolan coach him?

 

[FanSince71]

Mike Nolan didn’t coach Beasley. He was DC from 2012-14 and Falcons drafted Beasley in 2015.

He did not.

However Beasley is a guy I could see us taking a look. I dont think the cost will be high at all. We could use a player or two that can rush from a stand up position

I think if we were inclined to pursue that type of player we would probably try to re-sign Quinn first.

True, but he could be a fallback option should Quinn get priced out.

Different types really. Quinn is more a pure 4-3 DE out of a 7 gap. They stood him up some in StL and it didnt work. Beasley is more of a 8, 9 gap stand up rusher. He can also play some SAM. More of a Leo type player. You can utilize both if yiu want to run a multiple front scheme. You really dont want Quinn standing up if you can help it

 

[dwmyers]

The Falcons are dropping him because he played at a respectable level for half a season, an elite level for one season, and a *** level the rest of the time. No one knows what switch turns the guy on, or if he even has one anymore. DQ fired a DC so he could work personally with Vic, in part, and he put up something like 0 sacks in the time before Raheem Morris was pulled into the defensive coaching mix.

I’m good with signing him for a reasonable deal.

Spend that money on DT.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Retreading first round picks is something we love to do. I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.

Is Quinn the best we can do? Yea he got sacks but he was a massive liability in the run.

Yes he was.

Looked like a bullfighter with a cape waving the runner by.

Looked like he attended the Deon Sanders School of Tackling.

Pretty sad.

I say let him go.

 

[Alexander]

Why would you want to? The warning signs are there.

Well, Beasley is not going to solve that problem either.

 

[Mr_437]

Beasely's price should be too high.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Do the Cowboys really need the drama? PASS.

 

[817Gill]

A 1 year prove it deal would be great for both parties

 

[Ranched]

Sure. While at it, let's bring Dez back as well.

 

[Starforever]

Why? Quinn, was not the best against the run, but he was not terrible. Beasley, seems to have lost his love for the game.

 

[atlantacowboy]

On a prove it contract at a steep discount............sure. But, Atlanta didn't let him go due to an overabundance of talented pass rushers. Pass rush is the teams #1 off season need and they STILL let Beasley walk. So...........I'm guessing he's not the guy he was 4 years ago.

 

[DanA]

I'd take a chance on him. He got some sacks late in this season and IMO still has talent. Might just need a change of scenery.
