I hate to say this but Flo is having problems defining the blackout area. All of Md is supposed to be blacked out. This may be a one-off until they have this figured out.

That Robinson dude was the best player for Atlanta and saved his crappy GK's bacon at least once, likely more.
I thought Rooney and Moreno were locks from Saturday. Nice to see Jara got some notice as well. I remember late in the NYCFC game when Hamid had palmed away a header at close range, Jara just blocked out his attacker until the ball could be cleared. That was a game saving "non tackle" that showed real poise and intelligence. Big upgrade. Anyone still missing Nicky?
I miss Nick, in that he was one of those guys who was around for a long time, found a lot of different ways to contribute, but he was never going to be on this roster at his current salary nor was he going to beat out either of our FBs.
Nick was a mainstay who gave his heart everytine out. That said, I wasn’t too chuffed seeing him get peppered over the weekend.
Oh I miss Nicky too. However, when you consider the play of his replacement and Nicky's current salary, the choice was a no-brainer. What is overlooked in the play of Mora and Jara is that both Birnbaum and Brillant can remain more central in the defense because they know the flanks are covered. Couple that fact with Canouse and Moreno sitting in front of them, B&B look a hell of a lot better than they did last year, especially early on.
I'd contend he has both. We held on to him for the heart, but only because we knew he had talent. He developed head problems when it came to the opponent's 18 that he could never resolve while he was here. If he'd continued to put up 5/5s as a RW and stayed healthy, he'd have been our starter there for many years. Toronto got a good player, and they're using him well. He's already 1/1 in two games started. Can't ask more than that. Arriola's 1/0 in three.
Didn't have a soccer brain. All heart. I'm not sure what you mean by "Talent". Occasionally (and ONLY occasionally) he exhibited skill. But he didn't have a soccer brain. Under Ben five years ago, that was OK since he had all heart. But not so much anymore. The last two years as we upgraded significantly at outside back and outside mid, he could be a good versatile emergency late game sub. But not anymore. Former starters ahead of him are now on the bench.
For a long time Nick was an athletic player on a pretty unathletic team, which made him a useful asset. But he now has long-term knee problems without the talent to compensate so it's best to move on.
