atljbo Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Over an hour ago - Coach Mike Smith on the 50-yard Rashard Mendenhall game-winning TD.

Falcons RapidReportsOver an hour ago - Coach Mike Smith was asked how his defense looked upon further review: "Inconsistently, in terms of effort and technique. We have a lot of things we have to correct. I thought it was inconsistent in what we wanted to get done." Falcons RapidReportsTags: Mike Smith Over an hour ago - The Falcons welcome DT Jonathan Babineaux back this week from his one-game suspension.

Falcons RapidReportsTags: Mike Smith Over an hour ago - Coach Mike Smith on the problems the Falcons have finishing offensive possessions: "When we get on the plus side of the 50 we have not been as efficient. It's something we have to address schematically and mentality-wise." Falcons RapidReportsOver an hour ago - After giving up 108 yards to Steelers WR Hines Ward, the Falcons' next challenge is Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald.

Falcons RapidReportsTags: Mike Smith • OL Over an hour ago - Coach Mike Smith on what Atlanta needs to do to generate explosive plays: "We need to block better; we need to sustain blocks in the running game. ...

Blank has to be disappointed in how the offense has regressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain_jim3 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I wonder why he is not facing questions about wasting 45 seconds in regulation without trying to get in FG range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmite Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IDK... I will say this tho... Grimes took the wrong gap (it looked like it to meI really think we're going to see more Owens and Moore next week. Owens is stout against the run and I am pretty confident he would have come in there and stuffed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBirdSupabowl Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IDK... I will say this tho... Grimes took the wrong gap (it looked like it to meI love Grimes but if Owens was starting Mendenhall isnt going for six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power I Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IDK... I will say this tho... Grimes took the wrong gap (it looked like it to meI looked at that play about 4-5 times and DeCoud is outside getting blocked, but the real problem was someone completely blocked Peterson out of the play and directly into Grimes. That's what Mike Smith was talking about, the guy basically blocked Peterson and Grimes out of the play in one swoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets stop the blind hate and only call like you see it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
