Don't Expect Spagnuolo


Ethos

Recommended Posts

Stats are deceiving. Yes, it can be said defenses have greatly improved under Steve Spagnuolo but looking at the Saints D he really has nothing to work with. LB's are garbage (Vilma sucks), Will Smith who is supposed to be their best pass rusher only generates 6.5 sacks ( Guess he should spend less time beating his wife and start watching more film). IMO the only player that really shined was Harper because he found ways to get to the QB when GW blitzed him off the edge. Greg Williams blitzes where he would bring 5 to 6 or even 7 guys were great for stopping average to bad offenses ( Falcons included) but any Elite qb would tear that blitz up in a heartbeat. If Steve Spagnuolo can't do what GW did but only better then he will most likely fail in NO because I can't envision the Saints generating a pass rush with only 4.

Oh yeah buddy. Last year it would have been the typical homeristic falcon response "Oh no the Saints will bow to the feet of Matty "ICE" Ryan as he goes wild and has no mercy on your poor souls"

This year its a simple "Idk, we will have to wait and see".

I can smell the fear through my computer screen.

Very objective post....rolleyes.gif

And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously in Rivals.

Is there any one person besides Spagnuolo that you believe can make your defense flourish? Think long and hard about it beore you begin to make assumptions.

Let them be happy with Spagnuolo just as we're happy with Nolan. I have my personal opinions on both; however, I will reserve my input and see what each defense puts on the field. I will say this, though: I still expect the Falcons defense to fare better than the Saints defense.

I haven't heard or read about any coach fighting to go to either New Orleans or Atlanta. This season has seen many a coach fired; I didn't read or hear anything where these coaches were rushing to come to Atlanta or N.O.

Reports came out that Falcons were targeting Spags and Nolan but then about a day later the same report came out that NO was targeting the same people. Falcons hired Nolan almost immediately and did not interview Spags. Nevertheless, i'm very happy with the hire because I thought Smith was going to bring in Jack Del Rio. The Falcons went from having two incompent coordinators to having one one ( Dirk is still an unknown).
