The amount of people calling Worrilow a fringe player or making sarcastic remarks about him just proves the predictable and smartass nature of this board. All of you people try and impress each other with these funny text comments, from someone who doesn't spend all their life online, it looks ridiculous. Fyi Worriswole is the epitome of guy that "works hard" and "Is the first one in the gym and the last one to leave". I've got it from a dependable source that this season Worriswole was going to work so hard he was never going to leave the gym, not even for actual games. The mere idea of having to face a man who's deadlift routine gets counted in weeks instead of reps would have been enough to have the rest of the NFL forfeit their matches. 10/10 disastergrade on the Walter Cherepinsky scale.

Bucs should sign him on a one day deal just so Mike Smith can whoop his *** out of the building* ' *I actually don't hate the dude, hope he enjoys retirement. Don't think he'll ever get the yellow jacket he was talking about as a coach or FO executive though. He's no Ozzie.

I meant more from a players perspective. If you're not used to higher altitude you get gassed fast, at least in my experience. If Keenum plays like he did last year for the vikings I see no reason for the Donkeys not to be competative at home. Also I think its fairer to rank places regardless of how good a team is right now, but that might be me.

DT is a weak position group for us. Jarrett is legit, Crawford flashed at times last season, Senat is a rookie and I'm not sure about any of the other DT's on the roster. Hence people expected the Falcons to double dip during the draft. Now that we didn't I'm happy TD is picking up some extra depth. McClain isn't an allstar but he should be better then a guy off the street.

Either NFC South or NFC North. Would be hilarious if it was the NFC East, has that ever happened since Bill showed up in that division?

Plz no. I can't see the FO signing Fleener. Hooper might be due for a breakout year and Saubert at least deserves some time with his development.

Someone just needs to design a run play with "banana" in it and that will all change.

#ThanksJoeFlacco Tbh I feel bad for Lamar Jackson. He ended up on a team with Flacco and RG3. Flacco to me is impossible to read. I really, really doubt he'll care enough to take a rook under his wing. I don't even know if extra competition will feed his competativeness. He could end up Cutlering next season harder then Cutler ever did. Then you have RGKnee who might see a chance to grab a starting role or might be jaded by the entire experience. I wonder what kind of advice he will give Jackson.

I read somewhere that Ozzie Newsome passed on Ridley in favor of Hurst because he believed TE's were more likely to contribute and less risky then WR's in the first round of the draft.* *Yes I realize that Perriman might have coloured his view on this topic.

It wasn't on Matt. He trusted Freeman to pick up that block. Freeman didn't pick it up. Anyone that has ever worked or functioned in a team knows that sometimes you need to put absolute faith in a member of your team. If that person screws up you're screwed. That is what happened. I don't blame Matt for that one at all. Lets also not forget that the Falcons Oline was banged up beyond recognition. Mack was playing with a broken leg and Schreader was all banged up. They kept Matt clear for the first half but understandably so couldn't keep it up for a full game. Matt was the biggest reason we reached the SB. He has one of the highest 4th quarter comeback percentages in the league. He's a straight up baller. And he's "muh QB".

Idk about you guys but I always thought Beadles sounded like a race of cute puppies. Colour me suprised when he didn't work out as an NFL lineman.

I can completely believe that. The Netherlands highest point is like 500m above sea level. I'm fairly sure the place I've lived in for most of my life is around 12m above sea level. When I moved to eastern europe for a while to do volunteer work my house was on 500m hill and the city center was down that hill. After 6 months I was in the shape of my life just by walking up and down that hill atleast once a day. Altitude really matters.

As always I really like reading your thoughts in these rankings. Thanks for putting in the effort once again. I get your concerns with only adding 1 DT in the draft but I'm not too worried about it (yet). I wonder if TD and co are actually anticipating the deep DT draft next year, I always have the idea the Falcons seem to be looking at deep groups for next years draft when deciding a pick. Personally I would have liked some extra competition at RG but I get the FO thinking they have enough competition for now with Schweitzer, Harlow, Garland and maybe even Fusco.

I thought we were discussing it in a more general way, regardless of the competativeness of the teams in question. If Keenum keeps up his play from last year they will still be competative at home.
