I'm not planning on putting down every signing here, but him being a former Packer and all, I thought this might be interesting.

Falcons sign Robert Ferguson 

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal



That's a sign of some pure desperation. Ferguson was decent in GB for a year or two, but hasn't done anything for quite a while.

Maybe it's time for Ted Thompson to pick up the phone and see if he can get a 5-6th rounder for Ruvell Martin.

I like Martin....he's big, and doesn't mind at all looking to lay out a defender.
I still remember when i asked him to autograph a picture i took during the Packer/Seahawk "snowbowl" playoff game. It was the one where Brett was falling down, and flipped the ball to Lee. Martin looked at the picture, and said to me about the defender closest to Lee, "I was looking to take that guy out!" Which when i came home and watched the play, thats just what he did! Looked to nail a defender!
Thats what i like to see in a WR.

I hope Ferguson finds some success in Atlanta. Things just never panned out for him here or in Minny. Plus I like Atlanta with Ryan as QB.

I hope he has success too. I liked him when he was in GB, but I think that hit against the jaguars really screwed him up 😞

Fergie had some tough breaks with "the hit" and regaining confidence after it..

Maybe a new environment will help.. not the worst receiver out there.. but one has to think it also applies a little pressure back onto White.. that the Falcons are willing to bring in Vets.. Fergie isn't going to threaten White's playing time.. but the next signing might.

Good luck to both parties in this .. Fergie and the Falcons.

The "hit" was definitely old school, but I'm sure Formo will have an explanation as to how that clothesline was well in the rules of the game. It's funny, but I always liked Donovon Darius up until that play. Definitely cheap and nasty.

I don't know how a guy blocks that out.

You can't.
Thats the problem. A dirty cheap shot like that will ALWAYS be in the back of his mind.

Damn...

All the best for ole Robert.

I still think it's such a regal name.

E.g., Sir Robert Ferguson, OBE.
