74ice Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That we haven't even brought anyone in, been interested in anyone, Just saw that the DT from Miami resigned, why not bring him in for talks, why no talk about any OT, nothing on DE, DT, nothing about a trade for Freeney, OsiI understand the sometimes illogical nature of day 1 deals, but.... Tampa just got way better, Carolina's going to be better, neworleans has had our number the past 4 years, I don't see BETTER in our offseason..... YET, TD has always tricks up his sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconsd56 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 just because you do not hear about it it does not mean we are not doing it.Quick tell me the other teams Mario Williams is suppose to meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only case I have seen of this would have been Nicks, but look what the Bucs spent. The other players that would follow this logic resigned with their respective teams - we didn't stand a chance unless we overpaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.F.W.O. Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't forget we have new coaches with different philosophies wich in turn could be our largest improvement thus far. H**l, it may be all we needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fibonacci Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. over half the teams out there right now are not saying a word.just be patient. I said they were not going to do anything until late Thursday at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If the Falcons stumble in 2012.....don't make the playoffs or do and get embarrassed once again then bigger changes than just coordinators will happen.....Unless Blank's "press conference anger" is just a show to placate season ticket holders and the fan base.

Hurts to see some of our starters go now that we have new coaches, who knows what would have been had that been done at the end of last year.

Just like coaches and GMs don't like to admit draft mistakes or failed FA signings, Owners don't like to admit mistakes neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts to see some of our starters go now that we have new coaches, who knows what would have been had that been done at the end of last year.Sure, the coordinators were awful. Changes in that area will improve our team to a degree.But let's be honest here - we have been manhandled against the elite teams, schematically and physically. The physical part is players, period. Doesnt have a thing to do with the coaching.The coordinators weren't our only problem.This team has got to get bigger and tougher, and somehow get a winning mentality because we were just as weak mentally as we were physically last season.*takes off rose-colored glasses and smashes them underfoot* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If we win big in 2012, I'll be the first to admit I overreacted, and I'll gladly eat my humble pie, but I refuse to aplogize about being concerned about the state of our Offensive and Defensive Lines. Manuwai is more than likely way better than Hawley or Reynolds., but he's not the best we can do. Why Carl Nicks (an effing Suc) and Ben Grubbs (who is now an effing AIn't) haven't been brought in for a visit is beyond me. Maybe the FO is doing their due dilligence, but letting an embarassed fanbase know they are, would go a long, long way. I understand there is a lot of hyperbole and overreaction on the boards, but the smug, "I'm so above it all" attitude of posters blasting people for voicing those concerns is as equally obnoxious as the chicken littles.

Due diligance, "Stouter", Blanks angry press conference, "we're about rings now"......i was expecting alot more effort up to this point, if anything.

Due diligance, "Stouter", Blanks angry press conference, "we're about rings now"......i was expecting alot more effort up to this point, if anything.I have a llloooonnng history of being an o-line proponent. The o-line can make the whole team better.The QB has more time to throw, as well as more confidence in having time to throw.WR's can run their routes without breaking off to help a scrambling QB.RB's have bigger holes more often.The defense stays off the field longer, is less winded, and has fewer chances to give up points.I wanted Grubbs or Nicks: not Mario. We now have no RG worth a monkey crap. We have a RT trying valiantly to man the LT spot, but is poorly suited to do so. We actually are in danger of having no C. None of the backup linemen showed anything at all: no heart, no fire, no mean-streak, no dominating talent--- nothing.We are soooo screwed.
