Falcons: Time to start some controversy

[Beef]

I actually agree we may not need the typical speed guy in the slot.

I'm actually fine with a Kerry Meier size sure handed guy in the slot and I think that will happen a lot more than before. Meier is 6'3 225, he's almost as big as a TE but much faster and can run much more difficult routes. He's a great blocker too and a much better matchup against LB's and definitely CB's in the 2nd layer.

The thing about HD, however, that I like is that he has to be accounted for by more than 1 player. He can blow by a LB which forces a nickel or safety to come up to help cover that slant across the middle. This puts either Roddy or Julio 1v1 vs. somebody. A slow slot guy can be covered by a single LB, but if he breaks that coverage, he's wide open with a lot of running room.

So in a nutshell, it's a tradeoff to have both and I love that we do actually have both.
