morehouse11 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Seriously if he can turn OUR defense into a top 4 scoring defense in the league, imagine what he could do to the Federal budget!!! J/K, dont want this to be a political discussion. But seriously, this man Mike Nolan is a GENIUS, plan and simple. It really is amazing to see the guys finally coming into their own. There's no way I thought we could play this well with the loss of our top corner. So i would just like to salute you Mr. Mike Nolan, your a REAL MAN OF GENIUS!!

Aftermath Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Like I said in another thread, without Nolan this team would struggle to have a winning record.For all the love our O gets the D has carried this team more often than not this year.

Mega Flare Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 2 for 2 against Mannings is impressive. Maybe Detroit or Tampa will trot Archie out there so we can be 3 for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconState Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is the best D i have ever seen a Falcons team play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Our Defense has played quite well this season.The shut out helped to ballance the stats.Kinda like kick out the high and low to get the mean avarage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) It's impressive and also scary to think how good our secondary would be if Nolan had a healthy Grimes. Although with Grimes going down it helped Mcclain get into the lineup. Edited December 17, 2012 by MilleniumFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 And just to think that this is just year 1 of Nolan as DC.This defense could be a dominant force next season if Nolan is able to do what he does best with the draft and FA.

the_sheff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was just looking at the stats and its crazy how far down we are in the rankings in terms of yards (#20), yet we are 4th in points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with Grimes going down it helped Mcclain get into the lineup.Your a 100% right! Mclain has been lights out! I was watching the Steelers vs Cowboys game, and the announcer made the comment that the Steelers nickleback was the premier nickleback in the league, and I found myself instantly thinking Mclain is the best one! He shows up every week and makes plays in the pass and run game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was just looking at the stats and its crazy how far down we are in the rankings in terms of yards (#20), yet we are 4th in points.Because we haven't allowed a passing TD at home in the last 3 games... . Also, We haven't allowed a red zone TD in the last 10 Quarters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was just looking at the stats and its crazy how far down we are in the rankings in terms of yards (#20), yet we are 4th in points.When teams are playing catch up the majority of the time that tends to lead to a lot of empty yards.

So i would just like to salute you Mr. Mike Nolan, your a REAL MAN OF GENIUS!!Add in the fact our defense seems to play its best games against elite QB's.Imagine if we had a true pass rush.Here here but give Nolan an off season or 2 and he'll tweak that aswell.I'm actually looking foward to the off season with Nolan onboard.Man I've always wondered how good this D would have been if Grimes had'nt got hurt also but I suppose one door closes another opens and as already mentioned Mclain has stepped up Owens has been solid even Franks made some plays yesterday Dent is coming along Walker another great pickup but Assante from the E-Gurls for a 7th rounder is just flat out STEALING.
