He is getting clobbered on sports talk in ATL. Lots of Falcons fans are UGA fans and resent that they took him instead of Todd Gurley. I love Vic but he was always a tweener in the NFL. He can't be successful just speed rushing NFL lineman and so far he does not have another move. Hope he can turn it around.

I am with you. I love Vic and hope he can turn it around. I watched some of that game just to see Vic. He did seem to struggle some. But he is going to fight and work hard. I believe he can do it!

Am hearing more and more callers on Atlanta.....

sports talk radio calling VB a bust - even hearing he should be traded, etc. I just he can keep focused on learning the LB position and not lose his confidence.

That is one guy...

I would for sure stick with to let him mature. He is an absolute freak athlete. Not worried about him as a pass rusher ever.

Hate to agree, think his position is wrong for his size. You have to realize that he played his entire college career at 230lbs or less. He blew up to 246lbs for the combine but I don't think he'll ever be a 280lber (and shouldn't be). He needs to fully transition to linebacker and not some hybrid with his hand in the dirt half the time. With his speed and eye for the ball, I'd love to see him in the middle, standing up! More than 70% of all the offensive tackles in the NFL weigh 320+lbs these days... Setting the edge just isn't easy when you're giving up 70lbs. Even for superman.

Its preseason he doesn't need to be an All Pro.....

Obviously he is doing what he needs to in practice to start. The guys is just going into his second year after playing last season with a torn labrum. I think Vic will be fine this year, he;ll figure it out....

Georgia fans are as fickle as they come. Then again, Atlanta pro sports are pretty sad, too.

My guess he does make an impact in practice, however the Falcons Oline is so bad it does not translate to the games because the competition is so much better with most of all NFL teams!
