SJax to the Falcons picking up steam

Yahoo's Jason Cole says that "based on what was happening" at the Combine, free agent Steven Jackson's "likely landing spot" is Atlanta.
It's the same vibe Rams beat writer Jim Thomas is getting. The Falcons see Jacquizz Rodgers as a mere change-of-pace option, evidenced by the 222 carries they gave washed-up Michael Turner last season. Although Jackson has plenty of wear on his tires, he's averaged 4.23 yards per carry over the last two seasons behind a horrendous Rams offensive line. S-Jax has also averaged 8.17 yards per reception over that span, staving off a decline by staying in tremendous physical condition. He'd be an ideal addition for the Falcons' up-tempo offense.

I'd be okay with giving him a 1-year contract and then reassess at the end of the year

We aint scared. He's a good back but he has the same wear and tear as Turner.

I'm pretty scared.

He has some wear and tear but Turner had become a non-factor in many games
I'd rather have a more permanent solution but I'm okay with this for a year or two

Would be a huge pickup for ATL.
Dammit I wish he would go to GB or Denver.

As a Saints fan this does give me concern. Sure he is a little long in the tooth, but he would give Atl a recieving threat out of the backfield while being a very good power back.

Hopefully we can get a steal RB in a mid to late round of the draft too if we do this, for the future

1300 yds and 13 TD's imo. Offense would be nearly unstoppable.

One over the hill running back for another

DON'T YOU PUT THAT CURSE ON US

Give him a two year contract with a team option in the 2nd year and then I may be happy. I just don't see this as anything more than a stop gap.

not exactly but not too far off
SJax isn't in his prime but he was also running behind a shitty o-line in STL and was their only weapon...him in our offense for a year or two would be pretty big numbers IMO
Posted on 2/26/13 at 10:49 am to beaver
Our offensive line in run protection wasn't exactly much better.
Posted on 2/26/13 at 10:49 am to beaver
STL had no QB and literally no WRs. SJax's stats are against a stacked box on every play pretty much.
No one can do that with Jones and White in the mix. I look for career-type ypc from him.

very true

I can't imagine that he's going to agree to a 1 year or 2 year contract with the 2nd year being an option. He's going to want a 3-4 year contract with guaranteed money. This will probably be his last nice contract.
So, if he does end up in Atlanta, it's gonna be because Blank opened up the checkbook.

Would make a lot more sense if he wants to win a championship, although he might not want to play in that weather

Jesus, how stupid is mike smith? Hey genius, your team is really good with a powerful but quick runner. You know, like the guy already on your team.
