With Kerry Meier out, should Falcons go after Vincent Jackson?
Should the Falcons go after San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson (83), who's holding out and has to serve a three-game suspension. He recently pleaded guilty to his second DUI since joining the NFL. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)
FLOWERY BRANCH — On Twitter.com I presented the following question last night:
“With (Michael) Jenkins hurt and Kerry Meier (knee) out for the year, do the Falcons need to make a move at wide receiver? Send along your thoughts.”
Well, more than 50 people did. Here are your thoughts on the wide receiver position. A certain Mr. Jackson’s name was mentioned several times.

What about Crayton in Dallas?
He could be a serviceable #2 WR.
He is said to be unhappy with the Cowboys, way down on their depth chart behind Miles, Bryant and Williams.
He seems obtainable for a lot less than V-Jac.

I am not so sure V-Jac would be the #2 WR in Atlanta, when it`s all said and done if, they could land him?

i’ve been reading most of the comments since the pats game and looks like a panic to me. maybe you call throwing you team under the bus after 2 preseason games “discussing” but it sounds like panic to me . all i’ve heard is depth,depth,depth and BAM there is none . of course you go outside to fill it azzhat but smitty is to dumb to know that. just like last year with all your injuries he didn’t do it ’till it was to late. i don’t need to judge falcants fans- i can see their support already

exactly, move roddy to # 2. he’s physical fast. i don’t think a lot of people realize this, roddy won the state championship in alabama for wrestling. thats no small feat. great # 2, suspect #1. i don;t think pro bowls mean anything.

Stephen Alexander nice try buddy, but let me do a quick analysis for you: Anquan Boldin came from pass happy system with Hall of Famer Curt Warner his stats will be down significantly in Baltimore,Pierre Garscon again is in a pass happy system with Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, Terrell Owens is still explosive yes, just like C4, he will blow up sooner or later. Meachum who the hell is that, Santonio Holmes is a habitual weed smoker and will be serving a 4 game suspension to start the season, Roy Williams is less of a player than Jenkins at this point, Percy Harvin is a #3 guy with Migrain issues will be done in 2 more seasons. Sidney Rice is injured again, and has a history of being injury prone. Oh, Miles Austin is a #1 receiver not a 2. But again, nice try Stephen Alexander you helped prove my point.

!hiramsaint! its not panic saints boy, we’ve been saying this for years. and remember when chris redman lost by only 3 to you all last year at end of season with all the injuries, i do, i was there. we were a second string team at that point.
Sly Ty
August 21st, 2010
3:15 pm
Is there anyone else here who would say that Roy Williams of the Cowboys is a good #2 receiver? You guys must be smoking weed with Santonio Holmes and getting drunk with Vincent Jackson. Everyone please stop acting like people from Philadelphia, you are Southern Folk and inherently have more common sense than to act like this.

I agree with BT, a trade with the cowboys for Crayton is the most logical. The cowboys are hurting on the Oline, maybe we can Trade Baker for Crayton.

sly ty, nice name. no buddy, read my original post. all pass happy teams have legit ones and twos. almost confusingly. miles austin is a one now, last year he was not. think roy williams still garners more attention than michael jenkins…terrel owens is one of the best receivers of all time and is a first ballot hall of famer that has played with the likes of jerry rice. meachum is the saints #2 by the way, and he catches the ball when its important. look at percy’s stats, think you will see that he lined up in the two slot frequently. hes been dealing with these symptoms his entire life and has made it this far. rice will be there for opener. as for kurt warner…who were his two receivers in st. louis win there was a superbowl being one. michael jenkins is a joke, bust. its the new nfl baby.

Jackson would be great but i believe that he’d cost to much for what we’re willing to spend. I still say that Patrick Crayton is the answer & will cost a reasonable amount! He’s a proven # 2 & Dallas doesn’t need him, I said this before Meier went down, but we definitely need to do this now! Jenk might not be back game 1, Douglass is still working his way back & Weems nor Finneran are good enough players to be legit # 2 options. WE NEED CRAYTON, bc even when healthy Jenk isn’t a legit # 2, but if we don’t get Crayton, & we aren’t willing to spend to get Jackson, we could at least get L. Coles or T. Holt who just got released by the Pats. But i’d take any of them, Jackson obviously being the best option.

Should have got TO yo. Missed out on Boldin and B Marshall. Another weapon like that would be the finishing touch on this team. It would make us legit. I don’t understand how we are $35mil under the cap and we let an opportunity to land one of the leagues best WRs… 3 times!!! (Owens, Marshall, Boldin). Come on Mr. Blank, open up that checkbook!
Roddy White will now be double teamed every play, every game until someone steps up.
WE NEED A TRUE #2 WR NOW!!!

Whoever made the decisions on the Falcons draft bypassed a number of talented receivers-especially from FL and now they are in the toilet again. Second rate receivers will not make MR an all pro QB. It not only hurts him, but worse of all it hurts the team and us loyal fans. Any good fan could have picked a couple of good receivers-like New England did. Why do we alwaya seem to have Sh— for brains when it comes to the draft. Look at all the receivers and other position players we have passed up in order to draft second rate-cheap players. Garbage in = garbage out.

All ya’ll calling this a panic & acting as if this is a new issue, ya’ll obviously haven’t been paying attention to blogs & the cries of Falcons fans until now! Ppl have been begging for a new # 2 wr for at least a year & a half, but more like 2 to 3!!! & All ya’ll in support of M.J. INCLUDING Sly Ty must be the ppl smoking! There is no way that M.J. is a legit # 2 & there is definitely no way he’s more feared than Roy Williams!!! I really hope that was a joke! M.J. best year he got 53 catches, Roy Williams has toped that total 3 years including a year when he had 82 catches, 7 TD’s, 1,310 yards & averaging 16 ypr. Jenkins couldn’t even dream of doing that in the NFL, much less back at OSU! & for the Percy Harvin hater, please don’t do that, he’s going to be a stud 4 years to come, you must not realized that T.D. (Den) had the same issues & somehow made it into the HOF, go figure! Ppl please wake up!!! You might not think Jackson is the answer & i could understand that (although i disagree but i understand where that sentiment comes from) but lets not act as if Jenk is the answer!!!!!
& For ya’ll who obviously don’t get it, these outcries for a wr aren’t really bc of Meier, we just hope the injury to Meier helps the organization hear what some of us fans have been saying for years now! We need another WR & a new kicker if we are going to make it to where we hope to go!

Unfortunately for us Falcons fans who can see, it doesn’t look like any move whatsoever will be made!!! Over an hour ago from CBS’s NFL rapid fire reports- Even with WR Kerry Meier (knee) lost for the season, coach Mike Smith said it’s unlikely the Falcons will seek a free-agent WR. “I don’t anticipate that we need to do anything in terms of our roster,” Smith said. Falcons Rapid Reports.
Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!This is soooo frustrating!
Jenk cost us two games last year!!! & our kicker cost us games, with 1 of those 4 games, we’re in the playoff’s despite all of our injuries last year, but funny enough (actually not funny at all) we haven’t addressed either 1 of those 2 positions going into this year & still after seeing them re-emerge here in the preseason, seems to be turning a blind eye to them again this year!

I don’t think that the falcon brass reads these e-mails, however the game the other night againt the patriots showed that we are in desperate need for a #2 and #3 wide out. you put in John parker Wilson and give him no one to throw to. We passed on T. O. and Vincent Jacksoin is available get him.

Baaaad idea looking at Vincent Jackson……… Lost the link but O’well………..
According to the North County Times, the Chargers have placed unsigned restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill on the team’s restricted list. Such a move mandates a mandatory three-game suspension for each player once they finally do come under contract.
Our View: This includes even if they are eventually traded and signed by another team. In other words, Jackson is now facing a six-game suspension to begin the 2010 season. The Chargers have precious little leverage with their holdout wideout. .

According to ESPN, here’s who’s left as a FA WR:
Marty Booker
Kevin Curtis
Justin Jenkins
Muhsin Muhammad
David Tyree
Javon Walker
I’d like to see a bit of our current guys before jumping into the FA pool but I am nervous about this position. Jenkins blocks well but doesn’t contribute at a #2 level.
For the 276th time, TO is not the answer for the Falcons. He put up similar #s as Jenkins last year. He has caused problems in EVERY locker room he’s been in. He’s thrown QBs and coaches under the bus. Last year while “quiet”, he started a squabble because “racist realtors” wouldn’t rent to him (though it was later shown he wasn’t returning THEIR calls about the house). He also refused to say anything positive about anyone on his team (at least he didn’t throw anyone under the bus, he just refused to pull the brake).
Not sure about V Jackson. He has a 3 game suspension to serve and wants big $$.

Stop joking yourself Atlanta will never be a winning team because they love average players instead of great ones. You never see Atlanta develop young talent like other great teams and they never go after the ones that could take the team and city to another level but again loves to hype the fans up with spending money their hard earn money to see a lot of average players praying for an average season. 90% of Atlanta’s players would not even start on other NFL teams. STOP JOKING YOURSELF AS IF WE GOT A CHANCE AT GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL. We never draft well, don’t develop talent well, only make one trade a year, boring offense, and a no clue defense…

Why hollow about a receiver now when they clearly had a chance to take a raw one in Dez Bryant oh! I forgot he does not the stereo type that Atlanta love and he has to much talent for their team. They could have got a linebacker in FA instead of another rookie that they want develop. It’s only been a hand full of rookies that the team has drafted and turned out to really help the team to the playoffs or become a pro bowl type player. Only a hand full thank about it. Too loyal to average talent in a big time league.

It’s a real shame the falcons did not pick up a quality player like Terrell Owens. Maybe we can work a trade and possibly get DeAngelo Hall back. I am going to keep my fingers cross. We should all pray tomorrow for Smith and Demitrof. They need to go out on a limb and get some guys like these two. May God bless.

This is not the way I wanted this season to start. Hopefully Finneran can have a great season before he retires and then Meirer can take over once he’s healed. Jenkins has never impressed me so I hope to see Douglas come back and help more, to pick up his slack. After what the hated Pats did to the defense, Smith hasn’t impressed me with his defensive style ball either. Looks to be a very long season ahead I’m afraid. Hope to see TD make some serious changes with this talent level on defense by next season, starting with the secondary and a replacement for Peterson!! Perhaps a better defensive coordinator might help as well.

DOL: NEVER POST TWITTERS AGAIN. What a bunch of useless jibberish. You’re supposed to be a journalist. Tell us what YOU think. Do some research, there’s obviously enough comments with out the cryptic garbage.
2 DUIs do not a loser make. Jackson is much better than Crayton and our squad was fairly crappy even before Jenkins got injured. Jackson is worth a 2nd rounder+ and salaries are negotiable, esp with a suspension to set high performance clauses. I say go for it, b/c VJ is better than anyone we have in line after White.

If you think we need meier. what has he done? nothing, Atlanta offense was ranked 13 in scoring, 1 point more than dallas rank 14 last season and we had alot of injuries. ERIC WEEMS NEEDS TO GET THE BALL MORE. He has established himself and developed into a good receiver.

Wow. It’s a 5th round draft pick, folks. Anything he did above and beyond ST this year would be a bonus. Did he look good in camp? Sure. Is losing him disappointing? Sure. Does it mean we need to commit $6-$20 mil on another WR? No. While I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jenkins replaced around the time we replace Gonzo, there’s already enough players to get the ball on this team.
The real tragedy here is that DOL posted the flippin tweets on this site. Really? Really? If I gave a damn, I’d get twitter. I get more than enough of what the random Joe thinks on these response pages.
Post an update, a link, an observation, something by someone paid to comment, not the absolute mishmash garbage that’s above.

They suffered last year by not adding a WR of merit when Harry Douglass went down… they need another guy that is one of the better NFL WR’s no question…. if they really want to stretch the middle and open up the run anyway.
I wonder if they might have a go at Lee Evans to line up opposite of Roddy.

One DUI can happen, but two DUIs means a much deeper problem, that the Falcons do not need. There will be better WRs available when the squads get cut down at the end of pre-season. Sorry Vincent!
