That ? Rex need to be coaching linebackers or some ? . Big jobs ain't for him
-
If anything we shoulda tried to get Harbaugh on the low
-
What do falcons do
They rise upppppp
Lol
They talk ? about a good season, then go 6-10, apparently. -
I think that we may finally see the Squad make acquiring top tier pass-rushers(plural) a priority this offseason.

If y'all already didn't know, Rex Ryan is interviewing for the HC position next week. Meh....I'd rather him be the DC but anything to help this sorry ass defense.
I'm willing to accept that squad needs 2 or 3 years to rebuild. Matt & Julio is still under 30. 2 O-Linemen & a RB can be picked up here & there over the next 3 years. This defense however needs to be addressed now & I mean 4 new starters for the front 7 right now. Rex Ryan can make that happen.

2016 draft
1st: WR
2nd: LG
2016 FAs
1st: RB
2nd: RT
As for next season....Sam Baker's crippled ass will be back. Mathews can move back to the right for a season. I'm content with Hawley/Stone. Both of our Guards are reliable starters(Blalock is on the decline but he's so so).
I say all of that to say this....I KNOW Rex Ryan can build a defense. Let him have all of our FA $ & 1st 2 draft picks for our front 7. -
Im not as down on Rex as most of yall are. I think he would be a solid hire, if Im remembering right Ryan was Blanks pick for the HC position before we hired Smitty. I know he could come in here and turn this defense around and make us more physical.
We have a couple talented players already(Tru, Alford, Hagemann) and some solid players(Ishmel, ? Mo, Soliai, Babs, Peters, Lowery). We add 3-4 this offseason and in the draft we might be aight. If he just make us an average defense next year we could be back to winning 10-11 games.
Rex problem is on the offensive side of the ball when it comes to hiring offensive coordinators and getting talent. And a lot of his problems was prob the Jets front office......
Honestly we could keep Dirk K on as OC. If we can get some production out of the run game and start playing some defense we will be str8. I dont think we are that far away from winning again. We just need to make a good hire and have a good productive offseason. We cant get no lower than we were 7 years ago with the Vick ? and we turned right around and won 12 games the next year. And we was one Keith Brooking play away from upsetting the Cards in the playoffs. -

Been a bad two weeks for Falcons fans. Smitty fired, TD kept around at a secretary like position only to be replaced by someone with (debatable) a worst track history in the draft as him and now this personal seat license scam. Anybody willing to pay for that?
-
Idk, Pioli drafted/signed the Chiefs' defense. Like the Jets, they just never had an offense. With Rex Ryan known for coaching good defenses & Pioli helping building a dam good D in KC......we might creep into top 10-15 defense in two years. With Matt & Julio still under 30, that will be a problem for the South.
-
-
I really didn't see that coming. I just hope the next O.C. can develop a running game.
-
I did...once the HC is fired, the OC & DC is gone. Nolan will be outta there soon. No more DE's defending Calvin Johnson either.
-
Welp..... Missed out on Rex Ryan. The Falcons better not be waiting on Josh McDaniels. Whats the point of hiring a search firm if your just gonna hire Dimitroff and Piolis friend. Gonna be ? if he is hired.

Not really too much of a miss imo Rex is cool but they can do better -
-
You can take Todd Bowles off the list. I give up.... Seem like they waiting on Dan Quinn who im not a big fan of.
-
They better not be waiting on McDaniels.... smmfh
-
I'm hearing they might be looking to go after Teryl Austin from Detroit.
-
Yea, they moved up his 2nd interview a day or two early. We'll see.....It doesn't matter as long as his clock management is used with common sense, 2nd half adjustments are effective & he makes this defense serviceable. I'm not expecting a top 5 D. Anything better than laughable like it has been since....? the whole Smitty regime.
-
Honestly it's not gonna matter who the coach is tho if they don't upgrade the defensive talent. -
