fansince78 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 A lot of people say stuff about the OL and DL and rightfully so, but what players could the Falcons acquire (realistically) to make a difference next season? I have little faith in either of them, but I would like to know the thinking of those who want these goobs back next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Be willing to accept that their current philosophy is horrible, and doesn't work against actual competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 pay off the refs to not call ticky tacky penalties every time we get a drive going or make a play to slow down the other teams momentum.Also have them zero in on Abe as he gets hog tied EVERY GAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeytonMannings Forehead Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hold a block when a 7 step drop is called.Avoid a dumb penalties (holding, personal foul, false start) when the offense starts to put on a second half drive to put a game away.Don't lead the league in dropped passes. Get a solid push from the interior of the line and then actually sack the quarterback when they get there.This post might come off as facetious but there are more than a few games from this year and a few last year that would look totally different if these few execution errors were tighten up.

capologist Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We have plenty of talent on the DL in my opinion. What we lack is a coordinator that has a pair of gonads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanSince1970 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The quickest way to make MM and BVG successful is to get the players to cut down on dropped passes, dropped picks, whiff blocks, whiff sacks, overthrows, underthrows, stupid as mental penalties, blown coverages, bad routes, awful run blocking, blocked punts, missed FGs, fumbles and pick sixes.

Aftermath Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 True. The question is why do we have all these issues now. Coaching, undisciplined players or both?A good deal of both IMO, execution has not been a problem in years past and the Falcons were one of the better teams at it, this year seems to be a perfect storm of small problems that could normally be overcome all happening at the same time.

Voice of Reason Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Schemes aren't the problem. Our coodinators are NFL caliber and while their schemes may not be the brand you like, they have been proven to work on this level.As fans, we tend to focus on the coordinators. Most fans do this. But I say this is a lazy thing to do.Dropped passes, poor technique leading to badly timed penalties, lack of focus and concentration - all these things that seem to plague our team are not the responsibility of the coordinators or of Smitty. It's positional coaches jobs.We might have some of the poorest positional coaches in the league. Ever hear of any of our positional coaches being mentioned as possible coordinators? Musgrave was the best positional coach we had and now he's gone. We had to go to a former coordinator to find Bratkowski. I say Smitty, BVG, Mularkey, and TD need to start holding our positional coaches feet to the flames.That means you:Robiskie - why are we still having concentration issues with Roddy?Boudreau - Baker may not be a 1st rounder, but we know he was a concesus 2nd rounder. Why is his technique so poor? Why can't we seem to find a suitable RG? What are we paying you for?Brown - We all see Turner's out of shape. He's lost his burst. His nickname is "Burner" for God's sake! Think he'd earn that nickname now? I know you're not his babysitter, but by God you are his direct supervisor! You're his coach! Why are we having weight issues now?Hamilton - Sugarbear! We all thought we were getting a steal from Jacksonville when you arrived. What the heII have you done since being here? You never got ANYTHING out of Anderson while he was here. Davis was nothing more than a role player. I see not much from Sidbury, and Biermann is more known off the field than on it. What player have you developed? You seem to be riding the coattails of Abraham just as you did in your early career with Stroud and Henderson. Where is the coaching and player development?Reynolds - Really? Do I even need to say anything? You're not even over all of the secondary. First we had Emmitt to guide you along and now we have Lewis. Are you doing anything at all because I see a team with a starting FS that has no idea what the responsibilities of a Free Safety are and still manages to take at least one poor angle every game.Pires - Why does Lofton still not have a clue as to the proper depth a MLB needs to take during pass protection? How can you let this player go on for this long trying to be a 3 down LB and he hasn't any idea? And why does NONE of our LBs have a clue how to blitz and disguise the fact they're doing so? Our DBs seem to disguise their blitzes okay, so it must not be the scheme. Why doesn't our LBs know to do this?WHAT ARE OUR POSITION COACHES DOING TO HELP THIS TEAM???
