    Brooking is still a bum. He wasn't any good at pass rushing at weakside, so he was moved to the Middle. But because he was caught out of position so many times and was always in " Chase " instead of the point of attack. - !- He got moved back outside and away from the tight end!

    Any knowledgeable Falcon fan will tell you, Brooking was moved to MLB because we had significant depth at OLB and since Tuggle retired (or was forced to retire depending on the person) we needed a MLB that could play. All your reasoning is instantly dead seeing how the new staff put him back at WOLB because it is similar to his WMLB role in our 3-4 defense.

    If Brooking was the man ..then why did Chris Draft ( also class of '98 ) out play him when they went to the 3-4..? Why is Chris Draft your starting Middle Linebacker? Why is Chris Draft the first linebacker interviewed by the local sports stations, and is a regular of the 2 - Live Stews ( Doug and Ryan Stewart ) 790TheZone. Radio Station. What exactly does Brooking do for the community..? I hear all about Chris Drafts' charity efforts and his local causes, Just goes to show ya' sometimes it's not always good to draft the local guy ! - He's got 6.5 sacks for his 7 year career...

    LMAO, you're funny. Draft and Brooking were moved to better suit each man. Draft is no good in coverage and a better step up tackler, so they moved him to the middle. Brooking is faster and a much better player when he's allowed freedom off the guards he would ALWAYS face in our 3-4 defense. That is why the switch to our 4-3 base is much better, the 3-4 let guards get out to our LBs so of course we had to make a lot of tackles 4-5 yards downfield. Despite this Brooking is still one of the leaders in tackles behind the LOS. I don't know why you bring up who the radio station interviews, but it tells me you don't have a solid argument because you know little about the Falcons outside what you're told. You may live in Atlanta, or near it whatever, but that doesn't make you any more knowledgeable than myself, living in Sacramento. Just ask Se7en Dust when he gets here, he'll say the exact same things.

    P.S. And before you start thinking that either one of us is Brooking-lovers, that would be highly untrue. I've been very critical of his coverage, and his lack of big plays. However, the man didn't make 3 straight pro-bowls off the fans "overrating" him.

    You're right Daredevil. It's unfair to gauge Hall by Moss. I'll say your free safety will be busy vs. upper eschelon WRs this year providing help for Hall, though, because Hall is too green to be expected to be a shut-down CB. Way too much cushion off the line, too, by Hall.

    But Hall will improve and Chad should provide some more lessons for him to learn Sat. :rolleyes:

    I said this on the Falcons board, Hall getting beat by Moss, Johnson, or Coles (we play the Skins after you guys) is no biggie to me. If the exchange is Hall getting beat in preseason and his roookie year, then I can have the rest of his career featuring him shutting down WR's I'll take that everyday of the week.

    1. Offensive line is still full of run-blockers and not pass protectors.- They'll be able to open holes for Dunn and Duckett, but when Vick has to pass on those 3rd and longs, he's in for some trouble. - Eric Beverly has been struggling according to the Camp reports done by 790TheZone sports radio show.

    Mostly correct, but whoever said Eric Beverly is struggling is lying, he was moved to TE because we had significant depth at G but NO depth at TE and he played the position.

    2. The third preseason game always means that the starters will play into the second half, but I don't see that possible for Vick! - He's nursing a sore Hamstring and he's gonna have to take off sometime during Saturday nights game. - If he tweaks it early, Say good night to whatever you thought Vick was gonna do for you guys this year. Hamstrings take forever to heal properly !

    All this is known, I'm not 3.

    Hasn't he been a middle linebacker since he basically came into the League.. His biggest knock is that he makes a sh*t load of tackles , but they're always 5 and 6 yards down field and never behind the line.

    Incorrect, he came into the league and played his first three years at WOLB. Like I said its his "natural" position.

    The Falcons had a solid draft with lots of value. With Vick in, they got a good shot at the playoffs.

    But it's hard for me to get out of my craw the humiliation the Falcons laid on the Bengals 2 years ago in prime time (30-3?). Not a whole lot of Bengals left from that memorable 2002 squad but I'm hoping the ones left like Simmons, Smith, and Tony Williams take it personally come this Saturday, even though we're just talking about another meaningless pre-season game.

    No offense to the good Falcons fans on this site, but I'm looking forward to seeing some pigeon feathers flying :P

    Darn it, I had some smack I was going to say in reply, but I can't. My high school was the Tigers and I just can't talk about the Bengals.. :(

    Keith Brooking is your best defensive player, and then there is a significant drop. Just the same, yes I'm sure you know a lot more about the Falcons than Bengals fans do, just as we know more about the Bengals.

    Didn't do anything to improve our D?? Got rid of Artrell "Toast" Hawkins and brought in former Pro Bowler Deltha O'Neal, added Kim Herring and Nate Webster, and got rid of Jeff "one-more-concussion-and-I'm-a-vegetable" Burris. The experience and talent of the players, 2 of whom have Super Bowl rings...not sure if O'Neal was with the Broncos last time they won...I'd have to look it up and its too damn late, greatly improves the defense. Just cause we didn't add a big-name DT doesn't mean we didn't improve.

    You guys had a great draft, got some players who should really help out in the future...some now.

    We didn't do too bad either. Picked up Keiwan Rattliff, and were pleasantly surprised with S Madieu Williams and LB Caleb Miller. All of those players should contribute for us and make our defense much stronger.

    Good Luck to you, hope Vick can bounce back and hope your new coach works out.

    wookie I was not talking about the Bengals offseason they made moves, and so did the Falcons. To say the Falcons made no improvement on defense is just as silly IMO as saying the Bengals made no improvement.

    Lets also add that the defense switched from a 3-4 base which depleted the use of our DL's, our terrible secondary was wiped clean and replaced (if you are insane enough to believe Webster is worse than Ray Boo or Tyrone Williams you need to see the doctor, NOW!). Moving Keith Brooking back to the WOLB is a much better spot for him and his natural position. If you're going to just note who was added and subtracted I might as well start going around sayin the Bengals didn't do jack to improve their defense ;)

    And another thing--if you have PEERLESS PRICE as your #1 WR, then you're in big trouble!!!

    Have you seen the OVERPAID list in the NFL Forum??? There's a big reason why Peerless showed up on that list.

    ;)

    I know a lot more about the Falcons then you and yes I have seen the overpaid list and I agree. We also went to the playoffs w/ Brian Finneran as our best WR, he's our third best now ;)

    Hey guys, I invite you all over to the Falcons board and we can get some discussion goin on over there. Bengals1281 is over there and its a really nice overall board uses the same format as this one. Se7en Dust and myself are both regulars over there, so just state we invited you. Doesn't do anything for us but it pretty much lets everyone know from the gate you aren't a troll.
