RSJ Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 From what I read Falcons fans seem to think we got a steal. Most of them say he was put in bad a position last year due to injury but was an important piece to their super bowl run.

Must not include the 25 declined penalties that resulted in a completed long pass. Skrine was almost comical with his constant grabbing. My 12 year old calls Buster the KING of pass interference!

DMan77 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Lots of penalties last year... But for a 3rd corner in the slot for 3.5 million? I'm okay with it! Fills a need for sure. Also... If you look at the total offensive stats across the league last year everything was up... It's hard being a CB these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Truth Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Well now that Poole is on board. I hope he will not be Mr. 3rd Down and 16. The Zebra see's defensive holding. First down. Skrine at his finest. I know everyone wants Bosa, Allen or Williams. If we can trade down and grab Greedy and an O-Lineman. I think that would be Ideal. Now we have a number 2 corner possibly move to one once TJ is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethead Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I live in Atlanta and I’ve watched Poole for a while. Talented kid. Great motor, loves to hit people. occasionally forgets about the ball. Good pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Always good to get another potentially good player but being the a$$hole naysayer I am.... Trade a 5th rounder for rashard robinson Use a pick on nickerson, use a pick on Clark, use a pick on Jones, use a pick on burris. We have to sign these guys because virtually none of macs draft picks work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the typical slot/nickel CB body type. He seems much more stout especially when comparing him to a Buster skrine. When you look at adding this guy and CJ Mosely, added to the idea that Lee is not the type of player we like, it seems like we are creating a Defense predicated on having more of a physical presence. Bowles liked speed and hybrid guys. He did well with that idea in Arizona, but it just never worked here. Bowles/Rodgers seemed lost even though many of the players brought in were clearly to match what they were trying to accomplish. Lee is the epitome of that thought process imo. Poole seems very aggressive as is Mosely, which matches that idea that William's wants his defense to attack the offense. I was hoping for Callahan, who at 185 lbs fits my normal idea of a nickel back and is the same size as Skrine. Poole at 205, if he has the quickness, can really lay a higher level of wood which might be a nice wrinkle we are not used to having around here. I like it.

mrcoops Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Good signing. A tough little dude who covers well enough and hits like a train. Falcons wanted him back but, bizarrely, opted to low ball him by not even applying the low tender of $2M. They tried to get him back on the cheap, and got burned. Good for us, stupid by them.

Quinn coming from Seattle teaches the technique similarly to what Greg does. Just because the d backs coach didn’t come there doesn’t mean they teach their own tech. It’s what the DC wants. I’m just saying that’s probably why he was a target, and not some of the other corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 There's a lot of posts about penalties here comparing Skrine and Poole ... Skrine had 7 flags, none declined. 1 was ST, 6 were Defense. Poole had 8 flags, 3 declined. 1 was ST, 7 were Defense. Skrine had 3 PI, 1 Def Holding, 1 Face Mask (15 yard variety) and 1 Roughing the Passer. Poole had 3 Def Holding, 1 Illegal Contact, 1 Unnecessary Roughness, 1 Roughing the Passer and 1 Horse Collar Tackle. Main difference is no PI calls ... those are the big yardage penalties (Skrine = 66 yards on 3). You could say Poole's penalties are more a bit more "physical" ones. On the plus side, 3 sacks and 3 INTs from Poole vs. 0.5 sack and 1 FF from Skrine, plus 74 tackles vs. 58 (though mostly extra assists). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptable Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 For what its worth: From Walter Football: Jets sign CB Brian Poole (1 year, $3.5 million): A Grade The Jets had poor play from their slot cornerback position last year, but that will unlikely be the case in 2019. Brian Poole will be a huge upgrade over Buster Skrine. Poole had enjoyed two solid seasons with the Falcons prior to 2018. Poole regressed a bit last year, possibly because half of Atlanta's defense was out with injuries. Poole figures to bounce back, meaning he'll provide a huge boost in the slot over what the team had last year at an extremely cheap price. Comment on the other free agent signings below.

Jetsfan80 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 We didn't need to spend big on every open spot on the field. I like the idea of getting an upgrade over Skrine (not hard to do I, get it) on the cheap. Our cap space isn't limitless. Unlike Kacy Rodgers, Gregg Williams shouldn't need expensive players at every spot on the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
