vafalconfan Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 How I See It: NFC South Stock WatchSeptember, 15, 2010 Sep 152:02PM By Pat Yasinskas FALLING 1. Sam Baker, Falcons offensive tackle. The jury’s been out on this guy pretty much since he was drafted because of health issues. But Baker was healthy Sunday and he was called for a key penalty and didn’t do much as a blocker. He’s really going to have to step up if he truly wants to be the franchise left tackle that was drafted to protect franchise quarterback Matt Ryan. 2. Matt Moore, Panthers quarterback. He threw three interceptions against the Giants. He practiced Wednesday after suffering a concussion. Just hoping he’s not risking anything by perhaps rushing to return quickly because Jimmy Clausen is waiting in the wings. 3. Mike Mularkey, Falcons offensive coordinator. Yeah, the Steelers have a great defense. But when you’ve got Ryan, Tony Gonzalez, Michael Turner and Roddy White, you should be able to get into the end zone. Josh Freeman recorded a pair of TD passes in the Buccaneers' season-opening win.RISING 1. Josh Freeman, Buccaneers quarterback. He led the Bucs back from a 14-3 deficit by throwing two late touchdown passes. Yes, it was against Cleveland, but this was a big step for a young quarterback and a young team. 2. Heath Evans, Saints fullback. A healthy Evans is a big lift for the New Orleans offense because he can run, block and catch. Guard Carl Nicks is getting a lot of credit for throwing the key block on Pierre Thomas’ touchdown run. Nicks did throw a great block, but Evans also had a nice block on that play. 3. Ronde Barber, Buccaneers cornerback. People keep wanting to say this guy is done. But the veteran had a huge interception return against Cleveland to set up a touchdown.

ConnFalcon Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Nice. I am glad to see someone other than the fans calling out MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbigdog35 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Nice post because I'm really concerned even though I know it's been one game this year but MM has been here for three seasons now so we should be comfortable enough to open up the playbook.

Falconsfan567 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 What was a difference a couple days will make. On Sunday according to Pat Yasinkas Matt Ryan played like **** and it was all his fault the offense sucked. What a noble idea. Maybe he actually went and watched the game and realized that it wasn't Ryan's fault and that the OL and play calling was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0d1gy Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Playcalling was atrocious as it has been since Dan Reeves got fired and Ryan hasn't thrown a pass over 20 yards in the air this season hardly, inc. preseason. A lot needs to change over the next few months if we intend to challenge for a Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to agree with others that say Mularkey is stuntng Ryan's development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
