Falcons Extreme Makeover

[GTripp0012]

Coleman would also be a really good signing, if we could get him at a good price. He wouldn't start for us, but we could actually have a tackle rotation. Go figure.

I had thought they might cut Dunn as well, guess they didn't.

Coleman and Leftwich are decent possibilities (and I supppose to a smaller extent-Crocker). Overall though nothing that really impresses me.

Pat Yasinskas was speculating in an article yesterday that they may be looking to trade Dunn for picks so he still may be on the way out.

I agree with you on the Falcons cuts, nothing impresses.

leftwitch could be a back up here i agree wit that, but I'd say vet min... which he wouldnt like im sure

I'm suprised they cut Crumpler, they easily could've gotten a mid round draft pick for him had they traded him. Either way w/e they think is best for the team. I'm not really interested in picking up any of them, I like Coleman but I think he's getting up there in age and I'm not down for paying big bucks to someone who's on the wrong side of 30.

no on crumpler but maybe leftwich.He might be useful if he comes cheap..vet min.that's the only way.

Sounds like it's house cleaning time in ATL.

Crumpler is good but he seems to always be battling injuries.

[CPAlltheWay012]

Crumpler is probably headed to Seattle... that would make the most sense IMO... former coach Jim Mora Jr.. and then you'd be giving Matt Hasselbeck a good TE, something which I believe they lack.

The Skins should look into Rod Coleman though. He's on the older side at 31, however I still think he can be a valuable player in the DT position.

[GTripp0012]

Crumpler is a great TE and would be great for the Redskins' situation, but the Redskins wouldn't be a good fit for him. He's just too good to play second fiddle to one of the 7 or so TEs in this league who are better than him.

[freddyg12]

No way Crumpler would work out here, too many guys that want the ball. Don't take away any of Cooley's action.

I like Leftwich & he grew up in DC as a Skins fan, but that's the ONLY thing that fits about him coming here. He has a ridiculous wind up & is already a big man, which makes his long wind up longer. The WCO is just not a good fit for him.

All I wanna know is WHY in the HELL you cut Algae? He's like, one of the only 3 bright spots on your offense, much less your whole frickin team. The Falcons I think are taking after Bill Parcells recent doings in Miami and following suit.

But, Crumpler though? Why not trade and try to get a pick or re-sign him or something! ANYTHING! I guarantee you next year all the analysts are gonna rag em for doing it when they've got 13 points through 10 games. Lol@ Falcons...Man, Vick really boned 'em.

Maybe, they tried shopping Algae around and couldn't get anything worthwhile. It doesn't make much sense.

The party line is that OC Mike Mularky favors blocking TE's over recieving ones so Crumpler would have little use in the offense. However I disagree with the move myself.

As I stated before I don't know how long Mularky is going to be the OC, especially on a team thats going to suck for the next five years. Personally I see him either being fired or taking a better job on a team that has a chance to score a TD or two. In the mean time Mularky is just trying to give himself something to do. So in my opinon, cutting your best offensive player just because the OC for the time being doesn't favor recieving TE's is a mistake. It's times like this where I'm glad I'm not a Falcons fan. Hail!!!
