agreed. if we could get a top RT it would be much better for our OL. send Clabo to RG.

Also, I have a sheet that has been tracking our cap with the most official sources I could find. as of now we are 37.6M under the 2009 cap. if we cut Brooking, Wiener and have Vick as a post june 1st designate, we are guaranteed to have 46M in cap room. ;)

Nice!

Not sure if we will cut Weiner, though. Maybe not Brooking either.

But 40 million in cap sure sounds good, considering a few years ago we were at about five million.

scar988 · 01-16-2009, 12:26 AM

well, even if we don't cut Wiener, I thin kwe still Cut Brooking, and that is quite a bit of savings there.

I dont care if Brooking is supposed to make $3.00 next year. I dont want to see the ****** in ATL again.

Your time is over. You once were a great Falcon and now I hate you. Just retire and save yourself.

scar988 · 01-16-2009, 06:48 AM

i feel some of the opinions about brooking here are kinda extreme but his play has been lethargic and detrimental to the defense throughout the year. it just happened to be magnified on that 3rd and 16 against the cardinals.

He cost us a playoff game after a bad year for him in general.

Third and 16. And he bit on the run or short route.

Preo32 · 01-16-2009, 10:33 AM

Lets put it like this... that 3rd and 16 play pretty much sums up the year Brooking had.

haha exactly. This is perfect.

Bosanac01 · 01-16-2009, 04:38 PM

We dont hate him just because of one game. It's because he's a linebacker and he doent give us what we want and that has been going on the whole season. He's really slow and misses tackles now. Sure he made some nice plays, but he's not the guy you want for you in the OLBer spot anymore. He has that radio in his ******* head but still manages to **** plays up.

Preo32 · 01-16-2009, 10:49 PM

yeah get rid of the radio at least if you are dumb and keep him on the team. Give it to Milloy (if he stay which i bet he will) or even Lofton. Id say Abraham, but as DL its not a smart move IMO. LB or S should get the radio

BamaFalcon59 · 01-16-2009, 11:18 PM

Abraham would not get it because he is not on the field but 60% of the snaps.

It will be a three down linebacker (which Brooking was this season) or safety.

If Brooking and Milloy are no longer starters, I'm betting that Coleman will get it.

good. ive always liked him

Preo32 · 01-18-2009, 03:47 PM

Does it make any of you feel worse or better that the Falcons were the only team to keep the game close against the Cards??? Its a little of both for me b/c I know that means we can be a SB team in the next year years, but it pisses me of knowing it could be us right now

D-Rod · 01-18-2009, 04:04 PM

Could we just ask the Cards very nicely if we can swap Brooking for Fitzgerald? (or Wilson, I'm not fussy...)

Preo32 · 01-18-2009, 04:39 PM

Brooking for Fitz.... thats like LeBron for Francisco... both play, but at completely different levels. The best receiver in the leage has to be Fitz. The only one that I think may be better is Calvin Johnson cuz he put up pro-bowl numbers on the worst team in NFL history with 3 or 4 QBs throughout the year... that is some amazing stats by that guy

scar988 · 01-18-2009, 06:14 PM

I'd trade Brooking for Dansby.

ALSO, I would give the radio to Curtis Lofton. he's a 3 down linebacker. that or move Boley to WLB and then give him the radio.

Bosanac01 · 01-18-2009, 08:29 PM

Come on guys those trades are never gonna happen. Brooking is not worth a tooth pick anymore. I hope the falcons have the guys to cut the guy who gave so much to the team. The fact is we need to replace him and do it this off-season weather it's in the free agency, draft, or nicholas.

God i cant wait till the free agency period starts.
