The Falcons announced a change to their coaching staff on Tues

day.Bryant Young is stepping down as defensive line coach after spending the last two years on the job. Young said that the decision was made because of family reasons.“Over the past four years Stitched Jake Matthews Jersey , I have learned the importance of keeping my family and those I love close,” Young said. “Unfortunately, due to health concerns and the season of life my family is in, we have not been able to be together as a family. One thing my son Colby taught me is to not take tomorrow for granted. Under the weight of those considerations Youth Jake Matthews Jersey , I have made the difficult decision not to coach this year with the Falcons. It was not an easy decision as I think highly of the Falcons organization and the staff I have worked with the past two years.”The Falcons will replace Young with Jess Simpson. Simpson was the team’s assistant defensive line coach in 2017 and spent last season at the University of Miami.

That’s when the first Terminator came out. It’s been awhile. Was that going to change in 2019? The Falcons were at Washington State safety Jalen Thompson’s workout, along with 25 other teams. The Falcons are notable shallow at safety with Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen coming off injury, they put Thompson through position drills, and a lot of his measurables indicate indicate he could be a Dan Quinn player.To be fair Stitched Desmond Trufant Jersey , there’s not a lot of success around supplemental players. Recently, the Los Angeles Rams threw away a fifth round pick on Isaiah Battle. The Cleveland Browns famously dropped a second round pick on Josh Gordon. The Chicago Bears took big back Harvey Unga in the 7th round way back in 2010. He didn’t last too long in the pros. Perhaps the only notable remaining players were Jared Gaither and Paul Oliver way back in 2007. Both had decent but flawed careers.It is clear why most teams typically pass on these players. Only a few are NFL caliber, and obviously have eligibility issues with the NCAA. The Falcons can still sign supplemental draft players now that they are free agents. Players like linebacker Shyheim Cullen, wide receiver Marcus Simms Youth Desmond Trufant Jersey , and defensive back Bryant Perry could make sense on non-guaranteed deals, but none of them are guaranteed to stick on the final 53. Tight end Devonair Clarington could crack a roster with less tight end depth, so it is unlikely he would sign with the Falcons. It is clear that Thompson was the top player looking for a new home today. He went to the Arizona Cardinals in round 5. If the Falcons wanted him, they clearly didn’t want him too bad. We will update if the Falcons sign any free agents from the supplemental draft.Update: Marcus Simms is heading to Jacksonville.
