Falcons show how pathetic they are
The Atlanta Falcons had a miserable year last year, mostly due to quarterback Michael Vick’s dog fighting ring being discovered. Now, a recent article shows how starved for talent the team is.
Coy Wire was let go be the Buffalo Bills earlier this year, but has landed with the Atlanta Falcons. Supposively, he has already made an impact on the team, according to Atlanta Journal Constitution.
“Probably the guy that showed the most and flashed the most Friday and Saturday was Coy Wire and he’s only been with us for about a week,” said Falcons head coach Mike Smith.
For Wire to add strength to the linebacking core is a laughing stock. We are talking about a guy who on the final play, of the season opener of the 2004 season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, was standing next wide receiver Ernest Wilford, and still could not knock down the pass.
The whole reason why he was moved to linebacker is due to the fact that he stunk at strong safety, and linebacker was his position in college at Stanford.
Yes, Wire is an outstanding special team player. That is the reason why he survived six seasons with the Bills. If he was not that good at it the Bills would have cut him a couple of years ago.
Wire is one of four outstanding special team players the Bills let go this offseason. The Bills let them go, because as important as special teams is head coach Dick Juaron does not want guys taking up roster spots that are only really good at special teams.
In other words you can expect the Falcons to be at the top of the 2009 National Football League draft.
