Lelie is p-o'd

As long as they have Dunn and Mexico, they'll be just fine running the ball.

They must plan on using Griffith as their short yardage back and from what I have heard on NFL Radio they are very high on rookie Jerious Norwood.

Yes. Mexico rules.

The more I see this deal, the more I'm wondering what the Falcons were doing.

The skins always give up draft picks to improve their team, and they did that. The Broncos got draft picks for a disgruntled player that wasn't going to play for them anyway. Sure, the Falcons had major issues at the #3 WR spot, but now they have even bigger issues at RB.

Lelie is gonna be gone after this season as well. He's in his contract year and the Falcons are right up against the cap. They won't be able to pay him next year.

I didn't mention that, but I factored it in to my confusion of the Falcons' plans.

they might be able to, because when the Falcons and Lelie himself see hes not a #1, he might just take #3 type coin offered by the Falcons

No.

Exactly. When was the last time a player with a big head got shot down to size that quickly? If Lelie struggles this year and/or doesn't get a lot of playing time, he'll just blame Vick and/or Mora and shop his wares as a starter to other teams. And you know what? Someone will bite.

Fixed.

Are you assuming that Brandon Lloyd won't pan out? C'mon, man. With Al Saunders running the offense, Mark Brunell at QB, now Portis AND Duckett at RB, and Gibbs overseeing it all, how could that possibly happen?

C'mon, man. Think reasonably here.

General_Failure · August 24, 2006, 01:16:02 AM

All I'm saying is that maybe Lloyd isn't getting touched. Just like Betts. These things happen. The Gibbs giveth, and the good Gibbs taketh away.

Feva · August 24, 2006, 01:19:13 AM

Of course Gibbs will get it all to work, but it's simple math:

Hole at #4 WR + $17 million burning a hole in Danny Boy's pocket = Lelie a Skin in 2007.

He might wind up the #5 receiver if Plaxico gets cut.

Ah... how easily you forget that TO easily could have been kicked out of big D by then. Hello #6!

Holla!!!!
