BUILD THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND DEFENSIVE LINE

Jates

The Falcons have been in the Bengals position for a long time. A good QB with weapons around him to succeed with No o-line and a subpar defense. If we had a line and a competent defense with Grady Jarrett, Foye Oluokun, and AJ Terrell at the forefront we’d be champions.

NamesPat

Can the Falcons be the Bengals? You mean can we have 1 great season make it to the big game, and lose to a consistent playoff team!? We should strive to be the Rams! We know they will be good next year!

    Jane Michaels

    The Rams will have some struggles ahead. They went all out to win now and they did it but to get here they sold the future. I think over the next ten years it’s the Bengals who will continue to shine.

Sweetness Dabutta

How far have we fallen as a fan base when we start asking oursleves can we be transform ourselves into A Bengles organization that hasnt won a playoff game until this yr. And lost in the SuperBowl a game they had in the bag and lost it.

We are light years ahead of the Bengles Organization….We have more wins and HOF players in our recent past then they do. Why would we want to be that team?

Horrible…Horrible I say!

Devon McFly

Thanks for keeping the conversation going in the off-Season. People that want to replace Mat Ryan with just anybody don’t know how good we have it, and they will miss him when he’s gone.

michael mitchell

Like trade starting QB Andy Dalton and tank 2-3 years to get two top 5 picks in the last 2 years.

Ben Lotto

Wait what? The Bengals lost 😞

Dave

The Bengals actually have talent, despite how people feel about their past. The only weaknesses from what I saw in the playoffs is their pass blocking and they are weak at one CB spot.

    Np Np

    Bro there entire o line is weak and all there cbs are weak they need a better o line and better cbs

    Dave

    @Np Np My brother, the Bengals have a good run blocking offensive line, which led the way for their 1000 yard RB Joe Mixon. Where the Bengals are weak at is in their run blocking. As for theri CBs, they are definitely weak at one spot, while the other CB that came over from Dallas is pretty good.

Draft a top corner to pair with AJ Terrell.
Could be the best CB duo in the league.
Will instantly make the Falcons defense something to fear.

G G

The Falcons need a younger modern QB. People keep living in the past with Matt and what he did with great recievers. There were alot of really good players on that Superbowl team that are gone without the excuses being made for them. This team needs attitude not choir boys all the time

Reese Dog

You can’t miss on top draft picks too often and sustain success. The wasted picks of Vic Beasley and Tak Mckinley still haunt this team. And you wonder why you can’t rush the passer. Not one talent has been located to put beside Grady since he got here. If you can’t build a roster you can not emulate anything but losing. It’s pretty lazy to say can they be the Bengals lmao. We want to win right? The Rams is who I’d try to emulate. This is a lazy organization from the owner down. Perception over reality. If Arthur Blank stays in the decision room then nothing will change in Atlanta.

Earl Thompson

If we’re going to keep Matt Ryan we definitely should try to be more like the Rams and just put a lot of veteran telling around him.
If we’re going to rebuild no point in letting Matt suffer through this.

Nick bagnulo

I have hope for the falcons,

Slim Pickens

This division is our’s next season if we invest in the right pieces.

Mr. Knowbody

Yeah but they didn’t win he should be looking at the Rams and how they did it

2oo Evolve. We da' Last 1'z Left

THAT PART @ 25:50 … double up on game changing generational guy’s then you’re on to something. I’m torn as to whom 1 of those 2 would be..
Kyle Hamilton AKA this yrs Unicorn
KT from Oregon whom I’m really placing a question mark by his name in fear of his true interest in the Game ala Vic Beasely!!! Sheesh***
Treylon Burks Ark WR familiar with Filipe Franks should they allow Washington or Pitt taking my other choice…
Malik Willis QB Liberty
of course Sauce Gardener has intrigue as well as Desmond Ridder.

Great Analysis !

Mike Davis

Burrow. Made a big difference Matt can’t anymore no arm left

Tony Wright

Offensively the Falcons can immulate Cincy by drafting WR Christian Watson (N. Dakota St) with their first 2nd round draft pick as their #1 receiver he will come to Atlanta and immediately tear up the league, resign Cordelle Patterson as our #2 receiver, resign Russell Gage as our #3 receiver, now we have a Chase, Higgins, Boyd connection in Atlanta that is also similar to a Jones, Sanu, Gabriel connection with the X factor being that the Falcons have TE Kyle Pitts

Tony Wright

The Falcons trade Calvin Ridley for a 2nd round draft pick now we have three 2nd’s using the first 2nd rounder at pick #43 on receiver Christian Watson as I stated earlier, we also should trade down with our 1st round draft pick #8 overall getting a team’s 2023 1st rounder and picking up a team’s 2022 3rd rounder giving us two 3rd rounders this season, now we can draft starters for our d-line, o-line and get an outside linebacker, we drafted young corners last season, we also need to resign Isaiah Oliver as our nickel corner and go after free agent corner Dante Jackson (Carolina) and make him our #2 corner opposite #1 corner AJ Terrell, with Isaiah Oliver being our #3 corner as the nickel slot corner

Tony Wright

Now the Falcons have: 1st rd, three 2nd rounders, two 3rd rounders, a 4th round draft pick, a 5th round draft pick & a 6th round draft pick, the team doesn’t have a 7th round pick this season
