gogo2146 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thats to ba I was thinking he would end up In AZ eventhough we signed Huff from Seatle. We'll the Falcons will be that much stronger against the run next year. Good for them and hartwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Good signing for Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspot Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Wow, this is a great move for them. After moving Brooking to the outside and Chris Draft having such a poor season in the middle, Hartwell will vastly improve this already formidable defense. Again, good move on a young quality LB.

Rovers Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Where does this leave Ike Reese? Young LB that the Falcons got from Philly? He was a special teamer mostly, but still racked up some good tackle and assist numbers. Who will the starting LB's be in Atlanta's 3-4 D now? Brooking, Hartwell, and who else?

WaterMan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Demorrio Williams(2004 draft) or Chris Draft maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I thought Atlanta was going to a 3-4 this year....that's why they are signing so many LB's, like Reese from Philly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkirc Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I thought Atlanta was going to a 3-4 this year....that's why they are signing so many LB's, like Reese from Philly? 743716[/snapback] They just switched back to a 4-3 last year I think. They have no intentions of playing a 3-4. That was a nightmare. Radio here in ATL says that Resse was signed to play special teams and was promised a chance to compete for a starting position. They didn;t have a lot of cap room, so they had to try to make a splash with limited funds. Getting one of the best special teamers in the league is a pretty good way to do that. Hartwell would be a great signing for the Falcons if this turns out to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Done deal....Hartwell is a Falcon, in a 4-3 D. He will play the middle, with Brooking on one side, and possibly Williams on the other. Looks like Draft got the shaft. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=2018331 Edited March 21, 2005 by Rovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yeah they were a 4-3 last year. The players were saying during interviews how it was much easier for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea they spent that kind of money on him though! The Falcons seem to overpay for a lot of their players. Brooking, Dunn, Price, and now Hartwell. Do they just get played by agents or is Hartwell really worth this much? Edited March 21, 2005 by lkirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
