Yup. More than likely he'll head to PS take a week or so to catch up to what the Bills have implemented since he's been gone. Then he'll see some call ups. 

 

By then either through injury or outplaying someone else (Ford) IMO he'll end the season on the 53.

He’s coming to the 53 immediately and playing Thursday.

he's not good enough for the Falcons, but sure sign him up. CHAMPIONSHIP!


Yeah, I want to know why we were not all over that Falcons PS player that beat him out for the roster spot?

Simple and for the same reason why we re-signed Josh Norman this year and brought back Dean Marlowe and AJ Klein when we needed help last year.

 

Sean McDermott views his Defense so complex that there is no chance a Defensive player can come in midseason and get his Defense down quickly.

 

He's only ever interested in players who have played his scheme and has experience with his playbook in the past.

 

This is why I'd be surprised to see us make any moves on Defense, save for Ankou or someone like Levi Wallace. And if we do, it will be weeks if not months before they get in any substantial reps.

 

Hell, he didn't even trust a Running Back (Nyheim Hines), the easiest position to transition in Football for months after acquiring him. It's why we passed on Leonard Fournette over promoting Ty Johnson.

 

It's one of the most frustrating aspects of McDermott as a coach. I understand experience and time with the playbook is important. But he's WAY too conscious and conservative over it. He'll value someone with a 1/4 of the talent with playbook knowledge over a new player.

He does play 1T. And he flashed some last year. He may be a small get, but he upgrades Poona Ford IMO. And in the event of another injury he already knows the system and can step right in. 

 

IMO a solid bottom of the roster addition.

Last year? He did not play a snap...

Eli Ankou,Josh  Norman, Ty Johnson are the players we didn’t want anymore. Why, at a time when this team is in turmoil and searching for answers, do we bring them back. Beane only wants to dumpster dive for street guys who have been passed over by other teams. Beane has had some nice drafts and some expensive FA signings, but if we’re depending  on him bringing in someone to give us an infusion of positive energy, I can’t see it. He’s not a wartime consigliere.

Ankou’s release from the bottom of the Falcons’ roster being celebrated by an entire fan message board is without a doubt the greatest thing that has happened in his career and he likely doesn’t even know about it.


His Twitter post just got 200k views … doubt that has happened to him before

Based on what?

Sign him. Cut Poona Ford. Cut his ass right ***** now. Cut Settle while you are at it. And that tub of glue Beane seems obsessed with because he had one good season four years ago. Cut all ***** three. They were the biggest bag of useless I have ever seen on a football field on Sunday. And I watched Adolphus Washington try and play defensive tackle. Then ask Brandon Beane how many cap dollars he wasted on the three of them. Should be an interesting answer.
