I just want to hear what you guys expect us to do this season, and anything you think will happen.

For starters I think Calvin Johnson makes the Pro-Bowl.

 

[Pugz]

Calvin will do great, Roy will too. Thats all I'm saying right now, I don't feel like jinxing anything. I might have said too much already lol.

 

[JoshHoward5]

It's a real good thing we play the Falcons week one, so we can get somewhat of a handle on the new offensive system. But the end of the schedule scares the freakin crap out of me. There is that stretch of 5 potential playoff teams. The stretch is The Bucs, The Titans, The Vikings, The Colts, then The Saints. If we go 2/5 on that, it would be good. So hopefully we can start hot, and survive that.

 

[RipCity32]

Exactly, I think we can too. We just look overall completely improved from last year. And last year looked really promising.

we gonna spank that ass.

 

[JoshHoward5]

we gonna spank that ass.

Who on the falcons can do that. They are weak everywhere.

 

[MapleLeaf]

They'll do better I'll give them that credit. But Bowe is better then Calvin until Calvin proves otherwise

 

[RipCity32]

Calvin is an absolute beast Maple lol.

I can't wait to see him play at 100% all season.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Bowe's also a beast though to

He still ain't gonna save your defense.

Not a 6-5, 239 pound beast though :] With one of the fastest speeds in the combine when he was drafted :]

He still ain't gonna save your defense.

And what is wrong with our defense? It's a new year. We have a better secondary then previous years.

im glad we got rid of kevin jones, hopefully we can get a decent running game going so that theres not as much pass rush all the time.

calvin johnson = bound for probowl

 

[Grandy28]

Our defense is greatly improved. The secondary was our weak spot and with the addition of Smith,Bodden,Kelly it's better then it was last season.

 

[.loggie]

i still wish we wouldve picked up takeo spikes, couldve been a difference maker on the defense down the stretch

Exactly. And if we can pick up ex-Pro Bowler Rudi Johnson, our offense is REALLY going to click.

And yes Calvin is an absolute beast.

Exactly.

I agree. But I guess we are pretty high on Paris Lenon, Jordan Dizon, and Alex Lewis.

 

[Grandy28]

Rudi Johnson sucks.

Dizon has looked good. Barry must really like Lenon.

 

[.loggie]

does anyone know which players we ended up cutting?

 

[RipCity32]

Rudi doesn't suck. He had 3 straight 1000 yards rushing seasons (50 yards short his 2nd season, which would of made it 4). In all 3 he had 1300+ yards. Last season he blew cause of a couple injuries to his legs.

If he is healthy (which is what we are finding out) he can be a great back to split carries with Smith.

 

[Grandy28]

I can't even find an article saying were interested in him.
