vabchbirdlover Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Tks, good read, hopefully things pan out as advertised with Koetter, particuliary with getting Douglas more involved and more screen passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftermath Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 The only time the Falcons have ever had 5 receivers on the field at the same time during the last 4 years was during pre-game warm ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 For whatever reason, this excites me. I feel the cliched "explosiveness" is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta_Dawgs46 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This offense seem to play into Matt Ryan strength. Quick passes in the 5 receivers set to set up deep passes. Kind of like what Murlarkey try to do, but failed at designing a adequate passing scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natod12 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 do they mean tony g will be spread out wide? i cant see taking our hall of fame tight end with the surest hands on the team out for a kerry meier or cone or whoever makes the 5th spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Tony and yes he is great, but if a Roddy, Julio, HD, Meier, Cone/Pearcy/Calvin formation is better, then run it. You guys are too loyal to nothing. Tony would not be hurt if he wasn't in on every single 5 Wide set. It's just like having Turner in the formation on 5 Wide because you didn't want to take him out the game.

I am doubtful about this when the OL gave up 7th most QB hits in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeIl even a quick slant could be a 10 yard gain and take less than 2 seconds to throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screens should 100% help out though, but in 5 WR set the OL should atleast win one on one matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screens should 100% help out though, but in 5 WR set the OL should atleast win one on one matchups.If the DLine has to think even slightly about a screen or misdirection, it helps the OLine. Just look at the Eagles game in 2009 when they were down half their OLine and still scored 21 on our defense in the first quarter with Kolb. It was pure misdirection and screens. Another example: 2011 Packers game. First half, we ran all new plays and Ryan wasn't touched once. We went up 14-0. The Packers couldn't figure out what we were doing and attack it. They thought they had us when we lined up in the rollout formation but MM changed it to a rollout backside screen that went for a big play. Nothing fancy, it just used the Packers aggression against them and tamed that defense quickly. We went back to the same plays that we always ran and the Packers knew and they capitalized, shutting the offense out in the second half. Nobody is going to convince me it was solely the OLine when we scored points with it and other teams did better with worse. Konz isn't going to change the OLine single handedly. He plays one position. So when the offense is better this year, you won't be able to convince me that Konz will be the big reason. He will only solidify 1 spot on a 5 man OLine. MM had a solid OLine from 08-10 with Dahl. We are going to see this offense do things we never seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GB and Gaints players said "We knew what Falcons were going to do" after the pay off wins. But OL especially right guard still need to win one on one matchups most of the times if not all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at a couple of our games during the weekend... Good lawd Reynolds was getting beatttttttttttttt ... That Philly game was rough to watch for Matt.... I think fixing the RG position is big for us.. That was truly the position i think needed help the most... I think fixing one bad spot can make the whole group look better.I liked Dahl and the nastiness he brought but i didnt think he was a world beater...I agree with the play calling... That piss me off also... We were creative at the beginning of the Packers game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player doesn't all of a sudden make them equipped with the personnel that MM thought we lacked. Yes I do agree that having the RG spot solidified, Clabo, McClure and even Blalock will look better. But it is impossible for the offense to look 10x better with adding only 1 piece and say the prior OC was using everything he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the Eagles did fine when Dunlap started was because they could slide all their protections to that side. We only had 2 lineman that could hold up on a consistent basis last year. Having a reliable RG can make a huge difference and allow us to scheme protections to cover up our weaknesses on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
