I don’t agree with you that he has the ability to be a centerpiece player. He was a back up until Kentucky’s starter had a stroke. He’s not a playmaker. He’s a good tackler though.

ARTMONK HOF Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 minute ago, turtle28 said: Scouts always say after a player flashes like that they go back and then evaluate his tape again. If it matches up or they see potential with him, they move him up the board & so, Davis was moved up the board bc of his athleticism & potential. And he’s from a military family. RR high character type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not the only reason he was selected, I’m sure it didn’t hurt but he was going to get drafted in the late first even if we didn’t take him.

taylor made Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 - Herbert looked like Brady or Mahomes against us. Maybe he's that good. - That Gibson fumble killed us. I actually did not mind Scott Turner's run oriented game plan. Gibson lost the ball earlier in the game so I thought that would have been a wakeup call. - Fitzmagic was pretty bad. Everyone was blaming the offensive line but it's funny how the offensive line wasn't that much of a problem when Heinecke came in. Why did we pay Fitzmagic all that money again?? Should be interesting to see who they roll with in the future. - The third round rookie hype should be die down some. Everyone is talking about how bad St. Juste was but Dyami Brown showed very little. - William Jackson played pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I have to lol at the Kyle Smith comment. He’s been Scot McCoughan’d by most in this fanbase. He got credit for every good move the front office made after McCloughan was fired - which McCloughan got in 2015 & 16 - but then, all the bad moves the front office made from 2014-2019, those would fall on Bruce Allen bc fans wanted to prop up McCloughan & Smith like they never made a poor decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Falcons look horrible. I'll take solace in that this year. Drafting Pitts over some of those QBs is gonna bite them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had mostly good coverage but there was no way our secondary was going to check Keenan Allen & Mike Williams with Herbert rifling the ball all over. He was mostly in position. He should be better when he’s not going against such a great passing attack. Dyami Brown didn’t get much of a chance, hard to evaluate him tbh. I think anyway you look at it it’s far too early to be hard on rookies after just one week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the idea that he should have ever gotten a lot of praise or blame for moves in DC or now Atlanta doesn’t really add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie have room to improve but at this point he needs to be benched or moved down the pecking order Dyami Brown was targeted four times. Just as much as Terry McLaurin. He was out there, just invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
