Steven Jackson Signs With the Atlanta Falcons

All, NFL Stephen Douglas March 14th. 2013, 4:29pm

Steven Jackson has signed with the Atlanta Falcons according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This was Atlanta’s original plan when they cut Michael Turner, but last night it looked like Jackson might sign with the Green Bay Packers. In the end it worked out for the Falcons and Jackson. Jackson has rushed for 1,000+ yards in each of his last 8 seasons while the Falcons actually play in the postseason every now and then. The Rams have won 22 games in the last 6 seasons while the Falcons have won 23 games in the last two seasons.

Good signing for ATL and good for Jackson, who I always enjoyed watching.

Soon to be 30-year-old RB isn’t exactly in the catbird seat. He’s an upgrade over Turner, but that says little. I guess I need to see the $$ first. If they can get out of the deal after two years without taking a big cap hit I’ll be fine with it. I’m not sure Jackson signing means all that much though.
/was hoping to see them take a RB in the 2nd or 3rd.
//still have no one who can rush the passer

Using the term “play” a bit loosely there.

After paying his dues in STL the guy deserves a chance to enjoy a home playoff loss.

Now that the offense is led by Isaiah Pead and Chris Givens things are going to turn around.

maybe, maybe not…SJax offers WAY more than turner ever did in the passing game. for two years, he’s def worth it. plus, never discount motivation for getting a taste of winning after languishing in fucking STL for his entire career. i could def see a lil corey dillon resurgence.

Coming from a Lions fan this is fucking rich. Absolutely rich.

Hope you’re right, but I worry about that defense. They need pass rushers like whoa.

I’d like to place a wager that if they do draft an RB somewhere in that rage, he’ll put up better numbers than Jackson

If anyone cares, the standoff with the guy who shot 6 people here in upstate NY yesterday ended this morning. FBI and State Police sent in an FBI dog. Guy shot the dog, popos lit the guy up. Boom Dead.

I think the Falcons are looking to use almost every draft pick on a defensive player. And I agree with that.

I’d be surprised if the $$ or the length is bad for ATL. Outside of WR (Wallace/Harvin/Amendola), I am surprised at how contract terms have been favoring teams/owners during this signing period.

If they spent the first three picks on DEs I wouldn’t at all be disappointed.

That cut move he puts on it makes it look violent. Then the ball lands softly on the green.

Rememeber, he only hit like 56% of fariways at Doral. Not to take anything away from his iron game and putting, both of which were great, but if he’s only hitting 56% of fairways come Augusta and the Opens, he’s in trouble. Doral just had no defense.

RIP police puppy. I know it is trivial when compared to the fact that innocent humans were also lost, and I’m not trying to troll, but it always makes me really sad to hear about dogs dying in service to humans. Dogs are the best and just want to please us, and are very brave when called upon. Fuck the asshole that did this, I wish they would have set him on fire.

This is a good move but Steven Jackson doesn’t rush the passer or make Matt Ryan’s throws less arm punt-y.
