I don’t think they will waste any more time with DJS. DABIRDS have to pick those who can play, has nothing to do with race. Realfan, you are right. Did DJS get a degree? I think he will need it now.

Cut Sidbury he sucks?? What! You need to lay off the juice, Sidbury had more sacks in one game than JA hadin his rookie year, and the same he had last year. Sidbury will only get better, and so far, he looks way better than any DE rookie we have had in a long time. I also think DJS is about done, he might have a chance with another team that is in a QB delima. I think JPW has a future in the NFL ahead of him, might even be a trade option later, like Matt Shaub was. The only thing I think will happen if we cut DJS, is ever bigot in ATL will play the race card, because DJS is black and JPW is white. It is so sad that after all this time and progress this country has made, race still factors in over talent. I really wish DJS the best, but I don’t think he has a future on this team.

DJ really broke my heart with his performance. He looked like the rookie, not Parker. Grimes is a keeper but I still like Owens with his aggressiveness. Trey Lewis is a winner. The hard work is paying off. When is Jamaal going to show up?

well the shock has had the same things happen every had a shot he just cant
put together 1 good drive that lets players and fans see he can be a leader under pressure.
we have 3 players to cut next week then its down to 53 best folks that we can put on field for the season
with that in mind we have lots of good players we will not keep hate to lose them but thats the deal,
so who is the best 53 from ota to mini camp then in pressure spots in a game who gets it done
no excuses just results find out who we are this yr humble and hungry

Rod, I get that you love DJ, but I agree with DOL. The assessment isn’t based on one game. I have yet to see DJ show me he can run this offense any better than Redman. I wish he would for several reasons. I’m a huge Dawg fan too, but using your logic of DJ’s college success as the determinanat that he will succeed in the NFL is faulty. David Greene was a great BQ for us too and he isn’t starting anywhere. I like DJ’s tools as well, but he just hasn’t demonstrated his ability to use them.

DJ is toast. If the mechanics haven’t developed in 3 years, they aren’t gonna magically appear. JPW is a good person and a hard worker. He is a proven leader. Gets along well with MR. At least he is willing to learn.

Unca’ Bob,

Great to see you as well! I was away for a while, and when I came back, it seemed that the Falcon Faithful had dwindled. No worries though, as the season is soon upon us and all will return. Boo Birds included.

Yellow Jacket,

I never asked the question. No disrespect towards Shockley, but I already knew…
