Still not crazy about the Quinn hire, but he putting togethor a solid staff.... Dont like the Shannahan hire either, but maybe he will do better with Matt Ryan.
More interested in how this roster is going to look. Well the defensive side of the ball anyway..... Im ready for this draft. -
-
The offense played like ? when the o-line were serviceable. It happen more than a few times. That bubble screen & curl route got tired. It's time for a change. Maybe Shanahan's West Coast offense will be what's best for Matt. Offense & defense is going to take 2 years restore regardless.
-
One of the first mock drafts of the year has the Falcons taking...
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/mock-drafts/daniel-jeremiah/215603Amari Cooper.
Roddy White isn’t getting any younger, and Cooper would be a perfect complement to Julio Jones.
Numbaz would make the news if that ? happened lol -
If we go WR in the first round im gonna lose it.....
Only way I dont go crazy with this pick is if we sign a bunch of defensive players in FA with at least 2 of them being pass rushing DE's..... Honestly Id rather go with some vet players on defense. -
Meh it's either gonna be a fine or a late round pick either one really won't hurt.
Still don't know why they admitted to it when it's damn near impossible to prove. -
Seen y'all hired Bobby Turner a skins old coach as RB coach. His tracklist of getting the most out of backs is impressive. Good look for y'all right there.
-
Drafted a RB(Freeman) last season. He got some jets. I'm guessing that RB coach was brought in to get him ready for Shanahan's offense. That zone-blocking & west coast.
-
I don't get what the deal is about the crowd noise. its called home field advantage and it's not like it worked.
hell sacramento kings used to have cowbells during their home games and nobody complained about it -
What yall think of the moves so far?
-
Right now I'm in wait and see mode. The guys I've seen so far are not exciting free agents in my opinion, but I'm assuming Quinn and the staff have a plan for them. It's good to see they are addressing the needs on the line and at linebacker though. The only moves I've been excited about so far was the resigning of Antone Smith.
-
I like the moves so far. Two LBs that upgrade their positions immediately. A DE better than Bierman. Pass rusher in the 1st round is the 4 new starters on the front 7 that I've been hoping would happen for the last 2 years.
We signed a LG to replace Blalock(who was on the decline, overpaid & not fit for the zone blocking scheme).
We cut HD & got a younger, cheaper, faster & stronger receiver to replace him. Dude could end up being Roddy's replacement a few years from now.
I honestly only see about 3 weak links out of all 22 starters now oppose to about 11 for the last two years.
RT
RB
TE
RB position will be addressed in the draft. TE through FA. RT will be addressed next offseason after Baker is cut. -
I like Coach Quinn's approach to rebuilding the team.
LB core improved
After the draft, pass rush improved
DT position already addressed last year.
Alford will be benched this year.
Coach Quinn improved the team immediately by putting all proven solid veterans on the field. Instead of taking the ? approach of our old coach and putting 2 rookies & 2 UDFA rookie on defense at the same time. We have an offense that win a shoot out with every team in the league. The only problem was we had two ? coaches(HC and DC) who was responsible for building the worst defense in the league & worst that I've ever seen in my life. That stops now.....
Coach Quinn already made this defense a top 20 defensive squad. Two years from we'll have a top 10 offense & top 15 defense. -
I wish that we kept Spoon but it is what it is.
-
Double post
-
I understand he beat a woman and that's ? up but I still want the Falcons to get Greg Hardy.
Him and Vic Beasley or Dante Fowler at 8 and our defense is straight going into next season. -

I think it's going to happen. Coach Quinn likes to have multiple pass rushers so Beasley & Hardy would be my guess of what we end up doing. I was just saying that I like the moves so far. We got about 23 million left. We'll get a few pass rushers.
-
They sign Hardy and I will feel 10 times better about moves we made. But I heard he is talking to Dallas.
Yea I hate losing Spoon too. Arizona didnt even pay him that much, the Falcons must have been low balling him like a MF. We still need a MLB, but Worrilow might play better next to Reed and Durant. My guess is we probably take a MLB in the draft. We also need a safety, I wouldnt mind them bringing Lowery back
Other than that I like the moves too. Just wish we had gotten one top pass rushing DE like Orakpo to go along with who ever we draft in the 1st round.
-
My best guess is our draft probably end up something like this....
1st Round: DE/OLB
2nd Round: MLB
3rd Round: RB
4th Round: WR
5th Round: G
6th: DE/OLB
7th: -
Welp..... Kroy Bierman is back
-
Meh as long Quinn keeps him on the bench where he belongs idgaf
